Wallace & Barnes straight-fit jean in Japanese selvedge denim

Wallace & Barnes is our exclusive collection of rugged essentials inspired by traditional workwear, military surplus, vintage uniforms and classic outdoor gear. This 100 percent cotton selvedge denim comes from the renowned Nihon Menpu mill in Japan, which, when it comes to authenticity, is as good as it gets. This esteemed mill's experienced artisans weave denim on vintage looms, so the resulting fabric is the kind your grandfather would have picked up way back in the day. After the fabric is made, it's cut and sewn in the U.S. into these durable pairs. The fit is as genuine as the denim itself: straight through the hip and thigh, with a straight leg. "Selvedge" refers to the self-finished edge of a piece of fabric, a tightly woven band that keeps the hem from unraveling and fraying. Flip the cuffs to see the selvedge line, a sign of denim that's built to last.
