Cannot believe that I am the first to list Armani. The quality and cut are perfect. I have three pairs
myself and my personal favorite are from the Indigo range.
With the iconic Armani GA eagle on the back pocket of most Armani jeans, people know you are
wearing quality.
Armani are unique in the sense that their jeans look good on men and women of all ages. A
teenage can bounce down the street in confidence wearing Armani jeans, just as his dad could

wear them to work as smart casual.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
I love my mens denim ax jeans. They are skinny cut and look amazing with most anything like

owned a pair of grey skinny jeans from Hollister. I really liked them, although I don't shop
much there. Normally, I refer to Hollister as a cave complete with darkness and the extremely
strong scent of perfume in the store. BUT onto the jeans... The sizing runs really small! I bought a
size that was one or two sizes larger than my normal size. The material was good and really
durable!
I wore them when I was in Europe for several months. During my trip I lost a lot of weight and one
day the jeans were literally falling off. I intentionally left them on the train station in Roma Termini
Station. So hopefully, who is out there is wearing them and enjoying them I did!

The Denim Guide: 5 Brands of Mens Jeans That

Outperform the Rest
BY
ERIC JOHNSON
SEPTEMBER 18, 2012POSTED IN: BASICS, CLOTHING, INFORMATION / HOW TO, JEANS, STYLE

Do you have a go-to brand of jeans? Or are you still trying to hunt down that
crucial wardrobe staple? If youre searching for denim fulfillment, this is an all-inone guide for guys wanting to find the best jeans.
Blue jeans are the most successful style of pants on the planet. Whether for work, play, or making an
ironic fashion statement about social status, if you dont have a brand of jeans you can rely on, your full
expression ofmasculine dress will be hindered. Jeans are the most overtly manly pants in the history of the
world (and women have horned in on the action, too).

Here youll find some things you should know about the best jeans available, along with the
characteristics of denim and how to treat it. This comprehensive review and guide (yes, even if I do say so
myself) will tell you how and where to shop for the best jeans for men. And how to evaluate and care for
denim.

What Youll Find in this Post, Jeans-wise

This is a 12,000-word post on jeans, so if you wear them, youll probably find some useful info
here. Not only are there specific brand recommendations and in-depth descriptions, there are basic denim
guidelines to help you recognize whether any pair of jeans is worth your hard-earned cash.
Obviously, rather than trying to read this whole post at once, you can bookmark it and use it as a reference
for all things jeans-related.
Naturally, you want to get the best jeans for your dollar. The best mens jeans have certain traits in
common: they hold up over the long haul, they fit well, they make you look the way jeans are supposed to
make you look.

Since jeans are so popular, the market is filled to bursting with hundreds of brands and styles. About 450
million pairs of jeans are sold in the United States alone each year. Maybe youve tried a few different styles
and have yet to find one that truly satisfies or impresses you. Maybe you havent discovered the right fit or
found a brand that will hold up to the wear and tear of your job or hobby. Maybe you recently realized
youve outgrown the brand of jeans you wore when you were younger. Or perhaps youre raking in more
coin now and want to upgrade your wardrobe.
Whatever your reason for wanting the best jeans, following is a review of 5 brands of mens jeans worth
your consideration. They are brands you can count on to be made of high-quality denim, with solid
construction and superior design. They will make you look good. And they will outperform other jeans on
the market that sell for similar or even higher prices. Plus, they are made by companies that care about
their customers.

When it comes to jeans shopping, you can spend years of trial and error trying different brands, cuts, and
finishes. Theres nothing wrong with that approach, except the amount of time it can waste and the money
youll lose on jeans that dont make the grade. With enough persistence, though, you might find something
that works for you.
Or you could start with the 5 trustworthy brands of jeans reviewed here.
If you want to go the experimental route, begin at your local department store (though their selection will
necessarily be limited) or hit a reliable online store that carries many brands of mens jeans, such as
Zappos. As this is written, Zappos carries 68 brands of mens jeans. Some of those brands include
dozens of individual styles, from skinny to relaxed, from raw denim to pre-distressed grunge-britches.
Another high-quality clothing site, Ssense, carries some of the same brands that Zappos offers, plus an
additional 27 more. Combined, thats almost 100 different brands of jeans to winnow through. And each
one of those brands is at least fairly reputable.
If youve been bitten by the denim bug, maybe you wont mind long-term exploration to find your ideal style
and fit, along with keeping up with the ever-increasing selection of limited-run jeans from boutique design
houses. Some guys can turn their search for the right pair of blue jeans into a religious quest. (True
Religion jeans, anyone?)
On the other hand, maybe youd prefer to streamline your jeans hunt. If so, the following review will make
your quest more efficient. And cheaper.
To increase your knowledge of jeans and denim in general, Ive also included an extensive jeans and
denim glossary in the second half of this post.
To start, lets assume you want to find a good pair of jeans right now. You want to know what the best
mens jeans are without having to first learn everything about selvedge, rivets, washes, rises, types of cotton
fibers, and left-hand versus right-hand twill.
You should know that the 5 brands of mens jeans I recommend here do not require you to work for a Wall
Street investment firm to afford. Most guys just want a reasonably-priced pair of jeans they can wear
frequently for a year or two, that will look good and fit well. And you dont want to have to make an early
withdrawal from your retirement account to get them. So in my review Ive taken price into consideration.

The five brands listed here cover the range from very affordable jeans to jeans that are more expensive
but worth every penny when it comes to quality, durability, and performance.
Pick your preferred level of jeans investment. You might want to get a couple pairs of basic jeans for
everyday wear, plus a pair or two of more expensive jeans for special occasions or to impress a particular
girl you have in mind (or the girl you want to have in mind in the future). Or to wear if you want to fight forest
fires or wrestle bears. Once you know the right brand(s) of jeans for you, you can cover your needs by
keeping about five pairs on hand at a time (or in your freezer but well get to that later).
This denim review starts at the affordable end with two brands of jeans that outperform other brands in
the price range of $60 or less: Wrangler and Carhartt. In this price range youll want jeans that can be
used primarily as durable work pants, that you can wear casually every day, and will be suitable for
demanding activities such ashorseback riding, hunting, dirt-bike riding, and so on.
And wont make you look dorky when youre kicking around town at night.

Wrangler
Surprised to see Wrangler here? You shouldnt be. Wrangler is one of the best-known brands of jeans in
the world for a reason: they perform well, especially for those with active lifestyles. If youre already
wearing them, you know why they deserve to be included on this list of the best jeans for men.
Some history will help The first pair of Wrangler western jeans was introduced to the American public in
1947. Cowboys and rodeo competitors up to that time had often worn Levis jeans, but found Levis
inadequate for the unique demands of steer wrestling, roping, bull riding, etc. So the Blue Bell Company,
known for manufacturing tough workwear and overalls, teamed up with western clothing tailor Bernard
Lichtenstein (better known as Rodeo Ben) to create a pair of denim jeans that would satisfy the needs of
real cowboys. That first pair of Wrangler jeans was designated Cowboy Cut 13MWZ. You can still get
them from Wrangler today.
Rodeo Ben consulted with working cowboys and rodeo champions to get the details right on that initial pair
of jeans, going through 13 different prototypes. He wanted the jeans to be tough and durable. He wanted
them to allow freedom of movement and to incorporate a number of design elements that cowboys
preferred. The end result was a versatile and unique pair of jeans.

Wrangler 13MWZ Original Fit Jeans

Broken twill denim provided the toughness. There were five pockets, including back pockets that were
higher and deeper so as to hold stuff while riding on horseback. There were 7 belt loops, with more space
between the two front loops to allow for wearing wide western belt buckles. The watch pocket was put in a
different place, and flat rivets were used (which would not scratch a saddle when you were sitting on it). The
jeans were sewn with double seams, and a tapered cut that would fit snugly over boots (boot cut has little
to do with cowboy boots). The large zipper could be grabbed by a cowboy wearing gloves (MWZ stands for
Mens Western Zipper). A number of these innovations were used for the first time ever in a pair of mens
blue jeans.
Rodeo Bens denim jeans were a hit with cowboys. Jim Shoulders, World Champion Cowboy at that time,
agreed to endorse Wrangler jeans. Known as the Babe Ruth of Rodeo, he went on to win 16 World
Championships, including 7 Bull Riding World Titles, and his relationship as an official endorser of Wrangler
lasted until his death in 2007 at the age of 79 a 58-year partnership with the brand, the longest sports
licensing endorsement in the history of professional sports. Wrangler also became the official brand of the
Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association.
As a result of this success, Wrangler was in large part responsible for launching the craze for western wear
across the world.
Today, Wrangler jeans continue to be worn by professional cowboys, including 8-time World Champion AllAround Cowboy Trevor Brazile, bareback rider Kaycee Feild, and Trevor Knowles, champion steer-wrestler.
Wrangler now offers over 100 styles of jeans, including 20X, which is an edgier, fashion-oriented
style, Riggs Workwear (flame-resistant jeans), PBR (for professional bull riders and cowboys), and cuts
endorsed by George Strait and Jason Aldean (a retro style).

I like a number of Wrangler styles but the jeans that first converted me to Wrangler were the Wrangler
Five Star Premium Denim. After deciding I was no longer satisfied with Levis or Gap jeans on the
affordable end of the price spectrum, I tried this inexpensive (under $20) Wrangler pair of jeans. I found
them durable and well-made, and you cant beat the price.

Me in my Wrangler 13MWZ jeans, winter

Here I should say a word about Levis. Levis is an iconic brand. They brought out the first pair of riveted
blue jeans in 1873. I grew up wearing Levis jeans and wore them as an adult for a number of years. But in
the last 15 years or so, the quality of Levis has gone downhill. The fits are no longer consistent you can
try on 5 pairs of the same size of 501s and get 5 different fits. Sometimes the seams are twisted. And the
pockets started wearing out quickly, developing holes. I like to carry things in the pockets of my jeans.
Since Im a writer, I carry a pen, and often have a folding knife. And keys, of course, like most people. The
pockets would wear out before the jeans wore out, which was inconvenient and annoying.
So I tried Wrangler jeans and had none of those problems. Wranglers less expensive jeans lasted
longer than the more expensive Levis. They fit better, were cut more consistently, had a cooler look after
washing and fading, and the pockets never once wore out. I now recommend Wrangler. If youve noticed
the decline in quality of Levis jeans, save some green and give Wranglers a try.
According to Booted Harleydude, who writes about boots, leather clothing, and riding motorcycles, among
other things, this is why Wranglers are better than Levis:

Cowboys, especially those who ride horses, and bikers (those who ride iron horses), prefer Wranglers
because the heavier, rolled seam on Wranglers is on the outside of the legs (to reduce rubbing in the

saddle) while Levis have the heavier, bulkier seam on the inside of the legs. The seam can rub against the
leg while riding a horse or motorcycle. Levis were popular years ago. But since their production was moved
outside the U.S. in 1996, the quality is not in the product like it once was. And designer jeans?
FuggetAboutIt. Unless youre on a fashion runway, save your money and get Wranglers. Masculine men
gay or straight wear regular-old straight-legged blue jeans. (Dont even ask about how silly baggy and
low-rise jeans look on adult men.)

Which brings up the question of fit. My build is slim and athletic (think mile runner rather than linebacker)
and all Levis styles were a bit dumpy-looking on me. They tended to pucker and sag in the wrong places.
When I tried Wranglers, I found styles that suited my body type. Thats one of the important things to figure
out when youre shopping for jeans.

Wrangler Jeans improve everyones view.

How will Wranglers make you look? Well, its no accident that theres a well-known saying among women
who like to check out men in jeans: Wrangler butts drive me nuts. You already know your jeans should fit
your butt (women notice your ass as much as you notice theirs, you know). Wrangler fits the bill,
appearance-wise. For example, check out this post, from Confessions of a Corn Fed Girl.
At the lower price point, theres a lot of competition among well-known brands when it comes to the quality
of denim and manufacturing consistency. Wrangler successfully balances quality and cost. You just need to
find the style(s) of Wrangler jeans that suit your body type. Fortunately, the Wrangler website and other
good Wrangler retailers online have a lot of info about fit.

Wrangler ProGear Camo Jeans

You can get Wrangler jeans direct from Wrangler here. They have a large selection of styles, and reliable
customer service, along with attractive prices. Take a look at their customer reviews. If you sign up for their
email, youll get free shipping and youll always get free shipping on orders over $100. By the way,
Wrangler also carries a good selection of mens shirts and jackets, too even jeans for hunting and other
outdoor activities (Wrangler ProGear). Remember what I said about active lifestyle? Theyve got it
covered.
You can also find Wranglers at Boot Barn by clicking here. Check the customer reviews at Boot Barn, too.

Harrison Ford in his Wrangler 13MWZ jeans

So, for those who might ask: who else wears Wrangler jeans besides world champion cowboys and George
Strait? Well, Harrison Ford wears Wrangler 13MWZ jeans in the movie Extraordinary Measures, where
he plays a kickass medical researcher. And in his personal life, he also wore Wranglers at his wedding to
Calista Flockhart.
Speaking of kickass, Chuck Norris wears Wrangler jeans. He doesnt endorse them. Doesnt need to.
Wears them simply because, as he says, They fit the best for when I need to kick butt.

Carhartt
Many guys arent aware that Carhartt makes jeans, though they may be familiar with Carhartts other work
clothes, which have become a staple at job sites. Carhartt is one of those legendary brands that doesnt do
much advertising (as compared to, say, Levis). They dont need to. People looking for high-quality, rugged
garments eventually find Carhartt. Their best advertising is word of mouth, usually among professional
tradesmen and construction workers. That goes for their blue jeans, too.
You can find outstanding reviews for Carhartt jeans wherever theyre sold online. One reviewer on the
Cabelas site (a 44-year-old guy) said he used to work for Levis and he found that Carhartt jeans beat Levis
in all ways durability, fit, and price. He said they are the best jeans hes ever owned. He was reviewing a
pair of Carhartt Traditional-Fit Denim Jeans. This was an unpaid review.
Another reviewer of the Traditional-Fit Carhartt jeans said: I work in West Texas with mesquite spurs and
countless bugs trying to get to me. Between the hard-as-nails denim and the tapered leg fitting tightly around
my boot, nothing gets through! On top of that, I can count on these lasting a very long time even when
washing a couple times a week.
Bottom line, Carhartt jeans meet the needs of guys who need to get a job done.

They are classic, long-lasting work jeans. You wont find rips and tears added to brand-new Carhartt jeans.
If they rip, its because you ripped them doing something hard. They are made to hold up under demanding
conditions. They look okay, too, which doesnt hurt. Carhartt jeans arent fashionable in the same way that
a Cummins diesel engine isnt fashionable.

Hamilton Carhartt

Carhartt was founded in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit, Michigan. After talking to a railroad engineer,
Carhartt was inspired to create the first work garment specifically made for railroad workers overalls
made of duck and denim fabrics. With 5 employees, Carhartt turned out overalls on 4 sewing machines and
took them from town to town, visiting the workers at each railroad division. The quality of his workwear was
obvious to those who tried it Carhartts goal was to set the standard of excellence for work clothes. To a
great extent, he succeeded.
Carhartt now is an international brand. Theyve ventured into many areas of manly activity. They
sponsor NASCAR drivers and rodeo champions and Carhartt apparel has appeared in many movie and TV
productions, including The Town (2010), Into the Wild (2007),Deadliest Catch, Ice Road
Truckers, Americas Toughest Jobs, andNCIS. Carhartt is known for making dependable products. Their
clothing is embraced by anyone who needs their garments to perform. And many of Carhartts jeans styles
are still made in the USA.
Put another way, high quality is always in fashion. Maybe thats why Carhartt clothing was embraced by the
hip-hop community (not to mention wealthy drug dealers) in the 1990s.
Carhartt makes 6 styles of jeans, including their Traditional Fit jeans made of 15-ounce, 100% cotton
denim, their more fashionable 1889 line, and insulated jeans. You can explore their site and their fit
descriptions to pick the style that will meet your needs whether youre an oilfield roughneck, a farmer, or
an architect working on an inner-city renovation project. Or a student who wants a pair of jeans that will last
for 4 years of college, including Friday night post-finals celebrations.
Get free shipping on the Carhartt site for orders over $99 using code FREESHIPA.
In particular, as we approach winter, Id like to recommend Carhartts relaxed-fit, straight-leg flannel- or
fleece-lined jeans. If you need a rugged pair of jeans to help keep you warm in cold weather, Carhartts
insulated jeanswill do the trick, whether youre cutting timber in northern Ontario or watching the Packers
play the Patriots at Lambeau Field in December. The price of Carhartt jeans ranges from a low of about $35
up to about $60.

Heres a video about how well Carhartt Series 1889 jeans work for creative types:
CARHARTT 1889 Jeans from black sedan on Vimeo.
So there you have two brands of jeans Wrangler and Carhartt that will reliably fit your basic jeans
needs and wont break the bank. They have plenty of fits and styles available. (Note that, unlike many other
brands of jeans, Wranglers tend to be very true-to-size in their measurements. That is, if you buy a pair of
their size 30 waist jeans, youd better have a 30-inch waist.)

Each of these brands, for the most part, also meets former UFC world champion Forrest Griffins criteria for
manly jeans. He lists these in his book, Got Fight? If your jeans cost under $50, you get a score of +10 on
his manliness meter because no real man spends over $50 on a pair of jeans. You get extra credit if your
favorite pair of jeans cost under $50 and has an oil stain. If you spend $150 on a pair of jeans well,
remember, $150 could also get you a chain saw. Thats minus 10 points. Spend $200 or more? Real men
dont even spend that much on a washing machine. Or a hooker. Minus 15.
On the other hand, real men also dont give a shit about the arbitrary rules Forrest Griffin makes up.

7 For All Mankind

Lets move on to the mid-price point where style and fashion take on greater importance when selecting
jeans. At a price of $150 $200 theres a clear winner for guys: 7 For All Mankind.
First of all, why are some jeans more expensive? What justifies the difference in cost between a pair of
jeans for $35 and a pair for $189? Two things, primarily: the quality of the denim and the amount of skilled
labor that goes into sewing and finishing the jeans. Obviously, if jeans are cut and sewn by automated
machine, it lowers the price. If a pair is sewn mostly by hand and there are multiple steps that involve
washes and adding embellishments, such as custom fades, sanding, and whiskers, the hand-crafted jeans
will cost more (as long as the brand is not simply ripping you off).
From the companys inception in 2000, 7 For All Mankind became known for the quality and look of its
denim, the flattering cuts of its jeans, and the detailed finishes (which involved such procedures as brushing
with potassium and hand-sanding). When you buy a pair of denim jeans from 7 For All Mankind, you get a
unique pair. This is an attractive quality in jeans and the company has emphasized this aspect of its
products.

Austyn Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans in Melbourne available online only from 7 For All Mankind

Right off the bat, 7 For All Mankind captured the attention of celebrities, who began wearing them as soon
as they came out (you still see many actresses in Hollywood in Sevens, along with guys such as Ryan
Reynolds and Ben Affleck). As a result, the company experienced explosive growth and now, just 10 years
after bringing out their first pair of mens jeans, they are a worldwide fashion icon. Most of 7 For All
Mankinds jeans are made in America from imported denim.
People who appreciate high-quality denim tend to be fans of 7 For All Mankind. Their denim is known for its
softness and comfort. It interacts well with indigo dye and tends to be durable (some styles also include
Spandex or polyester, which contributes to fit). You can find a ton of reviews and comments about 7 For All
Mankind jeans on the Web. For example, on DenimBlog.com, there are 647 posts mentioning 7 For All
Mankind. In their online community forum, 2,146 threads cover 7 For All Mankind.
Be aware that, like money, 7 For All Mankind jeans are often counterfeited. There is a thread on
AuthenticForum.com devoted to how to tell real Sevens apart from counterfeit/fake ones. eHow also
devotes several posts to this topic. (Recommendation: buy them from the trustworthy sources listed in this
post. I know you want to save money, butbe sure to get the real deal. Understand that a genuine pair of
Sevens, if treated well, will last for years, so take that into account when considering price. This guide to
denim includes info on how to optimize the life of your jeans see below.)

7 For All Mankind Standard Jeans in New York Dark from Zappos

For men, 7 For All Mankind jeans come in a wide variety of styles, including relaxed fit, straight leg,
standard, slim, bootcut, and extra long, with creative colors and washes such as West Cairo, Dark Summer
(gray), New York Dark, Authentic Nakita, Venice Sky, and Blackout. Some have button flys and some have
zippers. Their darker colors of jeans work well in dressier situations, such as casual office wear or to wear
with a blazer.
The 7 For All Mankind site has a Fit Guide for men. Use it to find the best designs for your body type, as
well to explore style suggestions.
Jeans-wise, there is literally something for everybody offered by 7 For All Mankind, from subtle to flashy,
from raw denim to coated blends, from relaxed to slim cuts. For men, the company also features a variety of
denim jackets, as well as a good selection of buttoned shirts, T-shirts, and sweaters.
You can get these standout mens jeans direct from 7 For All Mankind by clicking here, from Zappos
here, and from Revolve here. All of these online stores are good places to shop for Sevens. Be sure to
check their homepages for any current sales or deals that theyre offering (for example, all 3 stores are
currently offering free shipping). Prices for mens Seven jeans average around $170. Thats not a bad
amount to pay to not only look good but to increase your social capital. Check the customer reviews across
the board.

Regarding fit, the inseam of a number of the mens styles of 7 For All Mankind jeans is 34 inches, so if you
normally wear jeans shorter than that, either try to shrink them by washing in hot water and drying in a dryer

(which is not an optimum solution) , or take them to a tailor and have them hemmed (wash them once prior
to hemming). Or roll the cuffs, if you prefer that look.

Momotaro
Now well consider jeans at the higher end of pricing those that cost $300 or more. If youre going to
pay that much for a pair of jeans, you may as well get the best in the world. In that respect, there are two
brands that stand out: Momotaro and Samurai.

Need Supply is one of the few places in the U.S. where you can shop for Momotaro Jeans click to shop for
Momotaro Jeans by Japan Blue.

It begins with the denim. Japanese denim is the best in the world, bar none. Why? There are a number
of factors, but the two most important are the quality of the cotton and the way the denim is produced. The
cotton generally is grown in Zimbabwe, considered by many to be the best cotton-production area in the
world. The cotton is spun into threads (and those threads are then often twisted into ropes) which are dyed
in real vegetable indigo (sometimes by hand) a process that can take weeks, as the threads are dipped
up to 24 times in vats of dye and then allowed to dry and oxidize. The denim twill cloth is then woven on a
shuttle loom, sometimes by hand, into selvage (aka selvedge) denim, which is denim cloth that has a
finished edge that will not fray.

The Japanese have been making jeans for decades in Okayama prefecture, on the southern end of the
island of Honshu. According to Masahiro Suwaki, founder of Momotaro Jeans, textile workers in Okayama
were first exposed to denim when the US Army dropped relief supplies wrapped in denim from helicopters at
the end of World War II. The Japanese textile workers had never seen denim and wondered how this
impressively-durable material was made. Japan did not have the capability to produce or sew such material
at that time, so denim was imported, along with the proper sewing machines, and they began to experiment.
Their goal became to make better denim than America.
A story, which may be apocryphal, goes that when American manufacturers of denim began getting rid of
their old looms and other machinery as they outsourced production overseas, Japanese denim artisans
brought these machines to Okayama, where they continued to make denim the old-fashioned way, refining
their techniques and applying fanatic attention to detail (as with many Japanese crafts think of swordmaking or flower-arranging). There is no doubt that the attention-to-detail aspect is true. Whether Japanese
denim-makers actually bought old American looms or used their own domestically-produced Toyoda looms
(which are excellent machines) the fact remains that there are jeans-makers in Japan who have been
perfecting their denim craft for over 40 years.
High-quality Japanese denim is tough, deeply dyed, heavy, comfortable, tends to be slubby, and has a lot
of personality. The finished jeans are sewn by hand, oftentimes on vintage Union Special sewing
machines. The rivets and buttons are made of iron and copper. The cuts of these jeans are often vintage
as well, with longer rises and long inseams. The jeans are classic in every sense of the word.
You can get both washed and raw denim jeans from Momotaro and Samurai. Momotaro jeans are a little
easier to obtain for Americans. If you get raw denim jeans from Momotaro (they make both pre-shrunk
and shrink-to-fit/raw jeans), remember to take shrinkage into account when ordering (see the Samurai Jeans
section below, and the glossary, for extensive info on raw denim jeans).
Below is a video of Momotaro Jeans being made on a hand-loom in a shop in Okayama. This shows the
attention to detail and the passion for denim that goes into these jeans (this is selvedge denim, by the way).
Note that the $2,000 jeans depicted in this video are at the very high end of their product pricing. You can
get Momotaro jeans for much less than that:

Momotaro jeans are named after a well-known character in Japanese folklore (a boy who comes to earth
from heaven in a giant peach and eventually subdues an island full of demons) and are made by Japan Blue
Group, located in the city of Kajima, regarded as the heart of Japanese denim production in Okayama.
When shopping for Momotaro jeans, youll notice two things right away: they have only a handful of
different styles and the denim tends to be heavier than that found in most American jeans 14.7 to 15.7
ounces. (By comparison, Levis 501 jeans use 12-ounce denim). (FYI, Denim is weighed by the yard.)
So, youre getting a substantial, extremely well-made pair of pants from Momotaro for your money. There is
nothing particularly fancy in a fashion sense about the cut of Momotaro jeans (although their detailed
embellishments do add charm) and someone who doesnt know jeans brands probably wont be aware that
youre wearing some of the best jeans in the world.
But who cares? Youll know. And if you take care of them, you can enjoy your Momotaro jeans and
watch as they fade uniquely according to your activities and handling for a decade or more . When youre
finally done wearing them, you can hang them on the wall as textile art.

Samurai Jeans
Samurai makes jeans out of raw denim, which is denim that has not been washed after dyeing. Raw
denim is not pre-washed, it is not pre-faded, it is not pre-shrunk. It may, however, be Sanforized,
although Samurai jeans are not Sanforized.
If youve been curious about the wave of popularity of raw denim jeans, keep reading. Raw denim may be
what youve been looking for.
Raw denim has two advantages over washed denim. First, it tends to be much tougher than pre-washed
denim. Guys can get as much as 1,000 wearings out of their raw (aka dry) denim jeans. Second, raw
denim fades uniquely as you wear it over time, so your raw denim jeans will have the fade marks,
whiskers, honeycombs, and so on that your body and activities produce. So, one advantage has to do
with durability and the other has to with style. People who enjoy owning raw denim can get rather
obsessively interested in the whole pursuit. (How to wear and treat your raw denim jeans is described in
detail below. And there is also more background info in the denim gloassary.)
As a jeans shopper, you need to know that since raw denim has not been washed, jeans made of raw
denim will shrink when laundered. When buying them, size up. Shrinkage of raw denim jeans can be
anywhere from 4 7% in the waist and length. Good online sites where you can shop for raw denim will
have a product description that describes the shrinkage estimates for a given brand.
Since they were introduced in 1997, Samurai Jeans have gotten a reputation for being some of the
toughest jeans on the market. Certain styles are made with the heaviest denim available in a pair of
jeans up to 24 ounces, which, after washing, becomes 27 ounces. These jeans will literally stand up on
their own (at least until thoroughly broken in). It takes a man to break in a pair of Samurai jeans. (Wear the
24-oz. denim in winter, or for lion-taming or hunting vampires.)

Samurai Jeans are also known for the details of their construction, which can include copper rivets
stamped with different Japanese characters, creative use of cotton blends and threads (including 100%
Texas short-fiber cotton in some styles, which is extra-tough), gold-plated steel fly buttons, hand-dyeing
using 100% natural indigo, and silver stitching accents using thread pre-sprayed with real silver (symbolizing
the samurai sword).
You cant get Samurai jeans at Macys.
As a matter of fact, there is only one store I know of where you can obtain them in the United States. If you
happen to be in or near Manhattan, you can drop by Blue in Green in Soho (8 Green Street, New York), and
find Samurai Jeans. Blue in Green sells the jeans online, but its a very hit-or-miss situation mostly miss,
since most sizes sell out quickly at their brick-and-mortar store.
If youre in the United States or, really, anywhere else in the world your best bet is to get Samurai
Jeans directly from Japan through Rakuten. Youll find a complete range of styles and sizes from a variety
of Rakutens online shops. Just go to the general Rakuten site and search for Samurai Jeans.
Alternatively, you can go to the US-oriented Rakuten page by clicking here. Some of the better stores
that will come up when you search for the Samurai brand are Aikidou, Earthmarket, and FRISBEE, though
youll have a number of acceptable alternatives to choose from. Prices for non-limited-edition Samurai
Jeans will run between $300 $400, and youll pay shipping (though, again, sometimes Rakuten and its
stores offer free international shipping deals). Youll end up paying about what youd pay in the states.
Youll sometimes pay in yen when shopping at Rakuten. In that case, your bank will automatically make the
currency conversion when you use your credit card. Note the sizing information from the particular store so
you can order your correct size when taking shrinkage into account. If you have questions, email them.

Remember that raw denim jeans will shrink about 4-7% in the waist and about 8-10% in the inseam,
depending on how you wash and dry them (more about that below). Samurai Jeans have different waist
sizes, but usually for a given style the inseam is set anywhere from 36 38 inches. Sizes will vary
slightly from jean to jean because many are handmade. If you want to have them hemmed by your local
tailor, soak them first. (Blue in Green also has a hemming service.)
They are not called Samurai for nothing. These are some of the toughest denim jeans you can get, yet
with fine styling details. For your $300, you will get a pair of jeans that will outlast 5 cheaper pairs. The
Japanese make jeans that are true to the purpose for which jeans were first created physical work.

How to Get Your Raw Denim Jeans to Fit Well, Last Longer, and Look Good
If you go the raw denim route, there are things you can do to optimize the fit, how long they last, and their
appearance. Some people, as mentioned above, get sort of fanatical about how to treat their raw denim
jeans. If you get into this topic, you can find out more in raw denim forums online, such as here.
This is the basic approach: when you get the jeans, you need to pre-soak them before wearing them (unless
they are Sanforized, in which case you dont need to soak; just wear them). Ideally, put the jeans on and get
into a bathtub filled with hot water (not very hot, because the hotter the water, the more indigo youll lose),
and sit there for about an hour. Wearing your jeans while they soak will optimize their fit as they conform to
your body. Dont move around a lot.

Samurai, along with other Japanese companies, makes some of the best raw denim jeans.

If you dont want to wear them when you soak them, turn the jeans inside out and put them in a bathtub with
4 inches of hot water and weigh them down with something (full water bottles, ceramic dinner plates,
rubberized dumbbells, whatever) so they stay below the surface of the water. Leave them there for 1-2
hours. Carefully pull them out (dont shake them) and hang them to dry upside down.
Next, wear them for 4-9 months without washing them. This will enhance and accelerate the fades and
marks you get, depending on how often you wear them (daily vs. weekly) and what you do when wearing
them.
Be aware that raw denim tends to be very stiff when you first begin wearing it especially the heavier
weights of denim and you may wonder what youve gotten yourself into. You may not even be able to
button all the buttons if they have a button fly. Dont worry. Over a week or two of wearing, the denim will
stretch. If you wore the jeans when you first soaked them, the fit will be enhanced. After they start to soften
up, you will be amazed at their comfort. Different brands behave differently, too, so you have to see what
works for your brand over time.
You may wonder about the cleanliness of wearing your jeans for so long without washing. Turns out this
really isnt a problem. Bacteria levels will stabilize in the jeans and they may not get smelly at all (see the
video below about a study that tested wearing jeans without washing them). If they start to smell a
little gamy, just take everything out of the pockets, lay them flat, brush them off, fold them, put them in a
plastic bag, and stick them in the freezer overnight. When you take them out, most of the bacteria will be
dead and your jeans will smell fine.
An alternative to the freezer method is to simply hang them up outside and let them air out, preferably in the
sunlight.
When youre not wearing them, hang your jeans on a hook by a belt loop or on a hangar, dont just toss
them on the floor, as this may mess up the wear marks.

How to Wash Raw Denim Jeans

After you start to get some noticeable wear and fade marks, you can think about washing your jeans. You
shouldnt go beyond a year at most before washing them (some people prefer to wash more often) because
bacteria, dirt, body fluids, and so on will begin to break down the denim and the crotch may blow out. How
often you wash is up to you. The more often you wash, the more your jeans will fade.

The Laundress Denim Wash available from C. O. Bigelow

To wash your raw denim jeans, fill a bathtub with 4 inches of tepid water and mix in a small amount (about
1/3 cup) of gentle laundry soap preferablyWoolite Darks (which wont cause fading in dark colors)
or Denim Wash by The Laundress. Turn your jeans inside out and lay them flat in the tub with things on top
of them to keep them submerged, swish the jeans just a bit as you press them down in the water. Soak for
45 minutes.
Take your jeans out, empty the tub, then re-fill it with cool water. Rinse the jeans in the cool water to remove
the soap. Hang them up on a hangar to dry. (Do not dry them in a dryer; its bad for the fabric.)
If your denim is particularly heavy (18 oz. or more), you can add a step at the beginning: pre-soak in cold
water that has cup salt and cup vinegar mixed into it. Rinse, then wash as above. This will help
stabilize the indigo dye in the material.
You can see videos about washing raw denim jeans here (part 1) and here (part 2).
If you spill a little something on your jeans, first decide if it might make them look cooler if you leave it there
(motor oil, lipstick). If you decide you need to spot clean them, try dabbing the spot with a towel or napkin to
get as much stuff off as you can. You can soak cold water through the spot to remove more. Try to avoid
using soap, as it may wash out the indigo and youll end up with a blotch on your otherwise nicely faded
jeans. If its a serious stain, you can try carefully using a stain remover pen. Then dab cold water through it
with a cloth.

You can wash your raw denim jeans every 4 months to 1 year, depending on the results you get and how
your jeans are fading. Its more an art than a science, which is part of the appeal. Also, the less you tend to
wash your jeans, the longer theyll last (except for that crotch blow-out problem, so watch out for that).

How to Take Care of Pre-Washed, Regular Denim Jeans So Youll Get Your
Moneys Worth
Washing your jeans less often also helps preserve your pre-washed, pre-shrunk jeans, too jeans such as
those from Wrangler, Carhartt, and 7 For All Mankind. Washing jeans in a washing machine and drying
them in a dryer is harder on your jeans than actually wearing them.
Denim is tough but, you know, its made out of a plant. When cotton fibers are put in a washing machine,
they contract or shorten (even pre-washed jeans shrink a bit after washing). Wearing the jeans stretches
the fibers out again. Do this wash-and-wear cycle enough and the fibers become weakened and eventually
tear. Your jeans will develop holes (which you might think looks cool), and eventually you have to get rid of
them or turn them into cut-offs.
A high-quality pair of jeans that fits you well is a rare and precious commodity, no matter how little or much
they cost. You want them to last as long as possible. If you find a brand and style that suits you, consider
buying two pairs each time you shop. Then you can rotate your jeans and not have to wear the same pair
every day. You can also wear one pair on the day you wash the other. That will also extend their life and
youll get more bang for your buck (one reason being that cotton clothing will only tend to go up in price in
the future).
Washing jeans less frequently is also good for the environment over the life of the jeans, it uses less fresh
water and electricity.
You can wash your jeans much less often than you probably think you need to. To remove any stains or soil
that you get during the day, spot clean them with water and, if necessary, a little soap such as Woolite
Darks(mentioned above). You can even use bar soap. First wet the spot and rub it a bit with a terrycoth
towel, washcloth, or a brush. If the spot doesnt come out (for example, oil), put a drop of soap on the area,
more water, and rub it again. For a really tough spot, try a little window cleaner or carpet cleaner.
Hang your jeans up on a hook from a belt loop when youre not wearing them. Dont leave them lying in a
heap on the floor or tangled up with other clothes.
To wash your pre-shrunk jeans:

Turn them inside out (this will help preserve the dye and other features of the exterior).

Always wash in cold water. If its the first time youre washing them, wash them separately to
avoid getting dye on other clothes.

Use the delicate cycle on your washing machine if the denim is on the lighter side or the jeans
are old; otherwise, the regular setting is fine.

Ideally, use a soap thats optimized for jeans, such as Denim Wash from The Laundress. This
will also help to preserve their look and make the denim more comfortable.

Hang them up to air dry, preferably outdoors and upside down. Alternatively, hang them on a
hanger over your bathtub, or by a belt loop. Do NOT put them in a dryer.

So how often should you wash them? Depends on you and what you do when you wear them. Try washing
your regular (i.e. non-raw denim) jeans once a month or less. Note your results. If they start to smell a bit
between washes, put them in a plastic bag in the freezer over night. But really, you dont need to worry
about bacteria and stuff. Studies have been done where people have worn their jeans for a long time
without washing to see what the results would be.
Heres a video that describes a study that was done at the University of Melbourne design school on
frequency of washing:

The Bottom Line is Finding Jeans Brands that Work for You
Finding the best jeans for yourself depends to a certain extent on your primary reasons for wearing
them. Do you want some tough pants that will stand up to the stresses of your job and/or hobbies? Do you
want jeans that express and enhance your style? Do you want jeans you can wear daily for a variety of
activities and that will last several years? Probably its a combination of these intentions. You want jeans
that are durable, fit well, and look good. Its reasonable to expect all these qualities from the best mens
jeans.
Obviously, I highly recommend that you prioritize trying Wrangler, Carhartt, 7 For All Mankind,
Momotaro, and Samurai because your chance of satisfaction with those brands is high. You could be
happy buying jeans from those companies for decades.
But at some point you may want to branch out and explore other options. Give a man a good pair of jeans
and hes satisfied for a year, but teach a man how to shop for jeans and hell satisfy himself for life. Hence
the general info in this denim guide.
When you do start shopping for different brands of jeans, youre going to encounter a confusing selection of
fashions, companies, styles, materials, finishes, design features, price points, and hype. For example, right
now you can find the following brands of mens jeans at Zappos alone: 7 Diamonds, 7 For All Mankind, AG
Adriano Goldschmied, Agave Denim, Ariat, BOSS, Big Star, Bikkembergs, Buffalo David Bitton, Calvin Klein,
Crooks & Castles, Cutter & Buck, DC, DKNY Jeans, DSQUARED2, Diesel, Dockers, Dylan George, Elie
Tahari, Enjoi, Fox, G-Star, Genetic Denim, Grenade, HUGO, Howe, Hudson, Hurley, Izod, J. C. Rags, Jack
Spade, Joes Jeans, John Varvatos, Just Cavalli, KR3W, L-R-G, Lacoste, Levis, Lucky Brand, Marc Ecko
Cut & Sew, Marmot, Matix Clothing Co., Mavi Jeans, McQ, Mek Denim, Michael Kors, Nautica, ONeill,
ONETrueSaxon, Obey, Original Penguin, Paige, Patagonia, Perry Ellis, Prana, Rock N Roll Cowgirl, Rock
Revival, Scotch & Soda, Stetson, Theory, Tommy Bahama, True Religion, Vans, Versace, Vince, Vivienne
Westwood Man, Volcom, and WeSC.
A hip store such as Anonymous LA adds brands such as 575 Denim, Buckaroo, Democracy of Nevermind,
Do Denim, Just a Cheap Shirt, Kentucky Denim Co., Kill City, Tokyo Five Brand, Truck Jeans, Vigoss, and
Vintage China.

And if you go to a more western-oriented store like Boot Barn, you can find additional brands such as
Cinch, Ariat, B. Tuff, and Rock & Roll Cowboy.
Rather overwhelming, isnt it? Over 800 different styles are included within the brands Ive listed. (Do you
get the sense that the jeans market is a money-maker?) And there are thousands more brands and styles
available when you branch out to other retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores throughout the
world.
So, when you decide to wade into that sea of denim (if you do arent you glad now I winnowed it down to
five?),below is a glossary that includes information, terminology, and background to help you understand
the technology, manufacture, design, and quality of denim jeans. (By the way, its even worse if youre
shopping for womens jeans. It would make you cry. Women do, in fact, frequently. Although maybe
not this girl.)

Glossary of Denim Terms and Jeans Info

Acid Wash: A process where jeans are washed with a chemical usually chlorine and pumice stones
to strip some of the top layer of color out of the denim. This results in streaks of color and faded sections.
Sometimes spot-applications of the chemical are used to create splotches on the jeans. This look was
popular in the 80s (much less so now) and usually for womens jeans. You can still find acid-washed jeans
on eBay. Not recommended to be worn by anybody, really, but especially if youre a grown man who is not a
member of an 80s tribute hair band.
Bootcut: A style of jeans where the pants leg flares slightly (increases in diameter) from the knee to the
hem that is, the portion of the pants leg from the knee to the hem tends to be greater in diameter than the
portion that covers the upper leg. Bootcut (aka boot cut, boot-cut) jeans became popular as a replacement
for flared pants in the 1980s. Bootcut styles will, of course, fit more easily over boots and will cover the tops
of shoes more fully than, for example, straight leg jeans. Many find this silhouette appealing in appearance,
especially since the extra width can draw attention away from a chunky waistline. Bootcut jeans were not,
however, invented to fit over cowboy boots most real cowboys wear straight-leg jeans over their boots
and want the jeans to be stacked, and not have the hem drop below the heel of their cowboy boots.

Appearance of broken twill denim

Broken-twill Denim: Wrangler pioneered broken-twill denim in the 1960s to prevent the twisting of the
seams that occurs with regularly-woven denim. Its a way of breaking the twill pattern by reversing the
weave at every two warp ends. Broken twill denim will not display a distinct diagonal twill line, like righthand or left-hand twill, but instead will have a zig-zag pattern that appears more like herringbone. Wrangler
13MWZ jeans are made of broken-twill denim. Pictured to the right is broken-twill selvedge denim.

Texas cotton ready for harvest

Cotton: Most jeans are made of cotton. Cotton is a plant. Your jeans are actually made from a kind of fruit
a cotton boll. Keep that in mind. Cotton grows best in warm climates. Unfortunately, this means most
cotton farming requires extensive irrigation. Cotton farming sucks up huge amounts of fresh water (around
1,000 gallons are needed to make one pair of blue jeans). So, remember that your jeans are made of water,
too. Worldwide, about 25 million metric tons of cotton are produced annually. Cotton was in use as far back
as 12,000 years ago in Egypt. It was planted in Americas Jamestown colony in 1607. Cotton plants
produce fibers and seeds that can be used for many different products and applications, including swabs,
padding, plastics, powder for munitions, cottonseed oil, cattle feed, and sweater vests. If youd like to know
more facts about cotton, and why you should stock up on cotton clothing now, see my series of posts
entitled Ten Days of T-shirts.

Denim: A durable fabric with a twill weave. Generally the warp (lengthwise) threads are blue in color and
the weft (cross-wise) threads are white (thats why you see a combination of these two colors in denim blue
jeans). The threads used to make denim are often twisted very tightly, which adds strength, but also makes
it difficult for dye to fully penetrate the thread. Thus, denim fabric can become lighter in color (fade) over
time as the surface of the threads loses dye and the top thread fibrils break off. The classic denim weave
consists of weft threads passing under two or more warp threads. Most denim fabric is made entirely of
cotton, though quite a few manufacturers have begun adding additional fabric such as spandex (7 For All
Mankind does this with some styles) and/or polyester to increase stretch, comfort, and durability, especially
in skinny styles. The name denim derives from a fabric called serge that was made in Nimes, a city in the
south of France, at least as far back as the 17th century. Serge was a durable silk or wool twill fabric
commonly used to make military uniforms. The fabric was called Serge de Nimes that is, Serge of
Nimes and eventually this phrase was shortened to denim. The worddenim first appeared in
Websters American Dictionary of the English Language in 1864. Contemporary denim has a different
weave than traditional serge fabric.
Felled seams: A seam is the place where two pieces of fabric are sewn together. A felled seam is a
method of sewing a seam where the two edges are turned under or folded together and two lines of stitching
are used that enclose the raw edges of the fabric. Felled seams can be found on almost all jeans. Its a
stronger seam and a flatter seam, adding to comfort. It also keeps the raw edges of fabric from unraveling.
See the video below, which demonstrates how flat-felled seams are sewn:

Fly: The opening in the front of jeans that allows easy access to the penis for peeing, or for your significant
other or buckle bunny to give you a blowjob. The flies of some jeans close with buttons, some with zippers.
Buttons are sexier, zippers are faster and more convenient. On the other hand, buttons wont freeze shut in
cold weather. And you can get pretty fast with a button fly by simply pulling the two sides slightly up and
apart. Riiiip!
Garment-dyed: This refers to dyeing a garment after its become a garment that is, its been cut and
sewn together. Dye is then applied. Garment-dyeing of jeans results in a uniform color and is often used to
apply colors other than blue. Garment-dyeing allows manufacturers to offer greater variety and
customization in a given cut or style of jeans, since the jeans can be dyed different colors in small batches.
Various effects are possible with garment-dyeing, including over-dyeing (saturating the original color or
adding additional layers of different colors) and creating vintage or aged looks. You can also garment-dye
your faded jeans at home or take them to a dyeing service if you want to brighten or change their color. (For
example, see this method for over-dyeing jeans at home.)
Honeycombs: A slang term for the worn and faded lines and creases that appear on the back of
jeans behind the knees. These lines can remind people of the hexagonal pattern of a honeycomb, hence
the name. Classic honeycombs usually show up on looser-fitting jeans and will be more pronounced on raw
denim, especially if you wear them a lot before washing. It comes from bending the knees, as well as sitting.

True indigo plant Indigofera tinctoria

Indigo: Most people think of indigo as a color, but where does that color come from? It comes from plants
in the genera Indigofera and Isatis, which have been used for thousands of years to dye fabric. For
example, the leaves of the tropical plantIndigofera tinctoria are soaked and fermented to produce blue dye.
Nowadays, most indigo dye used in the manufacture of blue denim is synthesized from benzene, which is
obtained from coal or petroleum. As you might imagine, jeans that are made using true vegetable indigo
dyes are more interesting and valuable to dyed-in-the-wool jeans fans, as well as to those who appreciate
more natural products. People dedicated to wearing jeans vat-dyed in natural indigo appreciate the rich
color produced by the process, as well as the distinctive way the color fades and wears away over time (its
actually hard to dye spun cotton with indigo; the dye is never fully absorbed by the cotton fibers, hence the
fading). If youre interested in this more organic and artistic approach, you can get jeans made with pure
vegetable indigo dye from Momotaro, Samurai, Nudie, and Naked & Famous.

Jeans: Traditionally, jeans are sturdy, 5-pocket work pants made of cotton twill fabric. Contemporary jeans
are all descended from the riveted blue denim pants known as waist overalls first made in 1873 by Levi
Strauss and Jacob Davis. Jeans have gone far beyond their working-man origins and have become a
wardrobe staple of both men and women throughout the world, with hundreds of different designs and cuts
available. Over a billion pairs of jeans are sold each year worldwide. (BTW, there are 297 denim mills in
China, 4 in the United States). 99% of guys in the United States own at least one pair of jeans. The
word jeans derives from a type of heavy woven fabric made in Genoa, Italy in the 16th century, which was
known in French as jene fustian (Gnes being another name for the town of Genoa). Italian sailors
popularized this tough, heavy-duty fabric. The word jeans was popularized in America in the 1950s by
teenagers, who flocked to wear the denim pants they saw actors such as James Dean and Marlon Brando
wearing in various movies. Jeans thus became a symbol of youthful rebellion and independence. Jack
Kerouac helped popularize the word, too, via his novel On the Road: Soons I get to Denver Im selling this
suit in a pawnshop and getting me jeans
Left-hand twill: Basically, a classic twill weave produces a visible pattern of diagonal parallel lines. On the
face of denim fabric, if the pattern of warp threads (usually the dark blue threads) goes from lower right to
upper left, it is known as left-hand twill. A left-hand twill pattern is produced by the shuttle of the loom
starting at the upper left corner and traveling down to the lower right corner. Jeans made with left-hand
denim are much less common than jeans made with right-hand denim. The Lee company popularized lefthand twill denim jeans. Left-hand denim has a softer, more open or lofty feel, especially after washing, due
to the combination of the left-hand weave and the direction of yarn twist. They also give a more vertical
visual appearance when worn. Several styles of 7 For All Mankind jeans use left-hand denim.
Loose fit: A cut of jeans originally based on the oversized dungarees worn by inmates in penitentiaries. If
youre a convict, you probably wore jeans like this. Alternatively, you might wear loose-fit jeans because
youre fat. Or a hypertrophied bodybuilder. Some jeans companies are now terming some of their styles
Loose fit that would more accurately be called Easy fit. Thats mostly for marketing. If you wear
traditional loose-fit jeans, you may as well draw an L in magic marker on your forehead.
Raw denim: Denim that is not pre-washed. See the extensive discussion of raw denim above under
Samurai jeans. Also known as unwashed denim.
Pre-shrunk jeans: Jeans that have been treated either Sanforized, washed, or both prior to being
sold so as to reduce or eliminate the shrinkage that can occur when cotton fabric is laundered. Pre-shrunk
jeans can still shrink a little bit, especially in the length, but will usually stretch out again with wear. If for
some reason you want to shrink a pair of pre-shrunk jeans, try boiling them, then dry them on the highest
setting in the dryer. Better yet, take them to a tailor and have them altered. (And congratulations on losing
all that weight!) Jeans that are pre-shrunk are usually designated such on their label.
Right-hand twill: Most jeans are made of right-hand twill denim. Early versions of Levis popular 501 jeans
were made with denim produced by Draper looms and those looms produced a right-hand twill weave.
Thus, most jeans companies went in that direction. If you compare right-hand twill denim and left-hand
denim side by side, youll note that the right-hand denim has a flatter, harder feel to it than the left-hand
denim. On the face of right-hand twill fabric, the twill line runs from the lower left to the upper right.
Because of this pattern, right-hand twill is also known as Z twill. Depending on the weight of the denim and
the twist of the yarn, there are subtle differences in the wear marks produced by jeans made of right-hand
denim versus those made of left-hand denim.

Carhartt Rigid Denim Bib Overalls

Rigid denim: Rigid denim usually means raw or unwashed denim, but there is some latitude when it comes
to the definition of rigid denim. It can also indicate that the jeans have had one rinse, or even one wash, so
some shrinkage has occurred. However, rigid denim jeans will still be stiffer than standard, pre-washed
denim. Rigid denim can also be Sanforized (as can all denim, including raw denim). And some say that
rigid denim simply means that its made of 100% cotton (as opposed to incorporating a stretch fabric in the
cloth). You have to take context into account when you see a description of rigid denim to figure out what
the manufacturer means. For example, Wrangler makes a Cowboy Cut Rigid Denim Work Shirt and
Carhartt makes a Denim Bib Overall that use rigid denim. Both are extra tough garments.
Ring-spun denim: The process of spinning cotton fibers into thread is technologically complex. All denim
fabric was woven with ring-spun yarn prior to the late 1970s, but there are now additional mechanical
systems for producing denim fabric that are more economical than ring-spinning, such as open-end or break
spinning. Ring-spinning involves a rotating spindle that puts a twist in the yarn, while the yarn is
simultaneously wound on a bobbin. A ring traveler carries the yarn around a ring at high speed, making over
10 trips around the ring for every inch of yarn taken up on the bobbin. The engineering involved in building
modern, high-speed spinning machines is highly complicated, but the takeaway for the average jeansshopper is that ring-spinning generally produces a stronger yarn. Ring-spun denim also has a softer feel on
the skin and a more vintage appearance (more slubby) than denim produced by open-end spinning.
Rise: Jeans have a front rise and a back rise. The front rise is the distance (given in inches when you shop
for American-made jeans) from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband in front, parallel
with the zipper. Similarly, the back rise is the distance from the crotch seam to the top of the back of the
waistband. Usually the front rise is shorter than the back rise. To measure the rise, you can lay the pants
flat, zip or button them up, and use a measuring tape to measure from the crotch seam to the top of the
waistband. To wear jeans that hit at about your waist, youll need a rise of about 11-12 inches in front. This
is often known as a medium rise, occasionally called a natural rise (depending on the manufacturer, a
natural rise can also hit about 1 inch below the navel). Low-rise jeans top out at about 3 inches or more
below your navel. Low-rise jeans generally measure about 8 inches or less in the front rise. Youll find great
variation in the rise of different styles of jeans. Many styles of mens jeans from 7 For All Mankind, for
example, have a front rise of about 8-9 inches. Wrangler jeans, on average, have a rise of about 10-11
inches (although they also offer a low-rise style the 77 MWZ Retro Jeans Slim Fit). When you find a pair

of jeans that fits you well, be sure to measure the rise, so you can use that measurement when shopping for
other brands. Note: extreme low-rise jeans, though currently popular, look bad on everybody, including
athletic guys and supermodels. They dont flatter the body. The visual landscape will be much improved
when ultra low-rise jeans become extinct. Actual male adults do not wear super-low rise jeans. That said, if
you have a body like Brad Pitt in Fight Club, you can wear regular low-rise jeans (especially if you fight).
Rivets: Around 1871, Jacob W. Davis, a tailor in Reno, Nevada, came up with the idea of using rivets to
fasten pockets to work pants (his customers, who worked as miners, ranchers, and lumberjacks, found that
conventionally-sewn pockets were not strong enough, especially for carrying tools). Davis was already
using rivets to fasten leather straps to horse blankets, so it wasnt a big leap to try riveting pockets to pants.

His work pants reinforced with copper

rivets were a hit with the working men
who bought them. Producing the pants by hand, Davis soon found he couldnt keep up with demand. He
was getting the heavy-duty cotton cloth (serge de nimes) he used to make tents, blankets, pants, and other
products from a dry-goods company in San Francisco run by Levi Strauss. He wrote to Strauss, proposing
that the two men apply for a patent for riveted work pants (Davis didnt have enough money for the patent
application fee at the time). Strauss agreed, and in 1873, a patent for Improvement in Fastening PocketOpenings was granted to Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss & Company. The first pair of waist overalls
(eventually to become famous decades later as blue jeans) was produced shortly thereafter. Though
Davis was the innovator, the pants he and Strauss made came to be called Levis rather than Daviss.
Jacob Davis was originally from Russia somewhat ironic, given the popularity Levis jeans would later
have on the Russian black market. Also ironically, many brands of jeans, including Levis, no longer have
rivets on the back pockets (Wrangler still offers some styles with back-pocket rivets).
Rope-dyed denim: A method of applying indigo dye to denim where the denim yarns are twisted together
into a rope, then suspended in long strands from a machine and dipped or run through a dye bath. After a
quick dip, the dye is then allowed to oxidize (a chemical process which results in the typical blue color). The
process of dipping and oxidizing is repeated, sometimes dozens of times. Rope-dyed denim is known for its
beautiful fades. This is due to the fact that, since the rope dyeing process does not immerse the denim in
the dye for very long, the indigo color builds up on the yarn in layers, rather than saturating it. It will then
fade in layers, yielding many subtle shades of that unique blue jean color. In other words, rope-dyed denim
is cool. Other methods of dyeing denim include slasher dyeing, loop dyeing, and double-sheet dyeing.
Sanforized: A process patented in 1930 by inventor Sanford L. Cluett (and named after him) and his
company, Cluett Peabody & Co. Sanforization mechanically treats fabric to keep it from shrinking. If a
garment bears a Sanforized label, it means the garment possesses dimensional stability; it will not shrink
when washed. Prior to its invention, people expected their new garments to shrink after washing and it was
often uncertain how much they would shrink. Cluett designed a machine to process fabrics

made
of cotton and other natural fibers to produce controlled compressive
shrinkage, which became permanent. The process consisted of first wetting the fabric, then running it
through a series of rollers, compressing it between a rubber band and a cylinder, and then carrying it away
from this pressure zone, where the rubber belt, first deformed by the pressure and heat, would return to its
original size, causing the fabric that was stuck to it to also shrink. The fabric would then be dried in its
shrunken state and its fibers would remain in that state thereafter. Fabric bearing the Sanforized label must
exhibit shrinkage of less than 1%. The Lee company was one of the first to use pre-shrunk i.e.,
Sanforized denim to make jeans in the 1930s. Levis held off on producing pre-shrunk jeans until the
1960s. Raw denim can be either Sanforized or un-Sanforized. If its not Sanforized, it will shrink about 710%, or about 2 inches in the length and waist, when washed. (See more on raw denim above.)
Selvedge (selvage) denim: Selvedge denim is denim made the old-fashioned way on a shuttle loom.
The term selvedge (aka selvage) combines two words, self and edge, and refers to the fact that, when
denim is woven on a narrow shuttle loom, the cross thread (weft) is woven back and forth continuously,
creating a finished edge on each side of the fabric a self-edge. This is in contrast to denim made on a
projectile loom, where the cross threads are inserted individually, resulting in a frayed edge. Selvedge
denim is finished with a binding weave at the very edge of the fabric, often using colored thread. If you
want to identify selvedge denim, turn the leg on a pair of jeans inside out and look along the outseam.
Selvedge denim will have a neat-looking, taped appearance, whereas non-selvedge denim will have a
cover stitch to hold the edges of the fabric together. Selvedge fabric has less tendency to unravel at the
edges. However, jeans with selvedge seams are not inherently superior in durability to jeans with coverstitched seams. Denim fans often like selvedge denim because of its connotations of history and exclusivity
after all, modern industrial textile operations rarely use projectile looms anymore. Denim woven on a
shuttle loom can also have more subtle variations in the weave, adding interest to the finished cloth.
Selvedge denim is not necessarily higher in quality than denim woven on other types of looms. Much
depends on the type of cotton, how the thread is prepared, the dyeing process, the wash, the stitching, and
so forth. Note: you can find selvedge denim used in both pre-washed and un-washed (i.e., raw) jeans.

Samurai makes some of the best shrink-to-fit jeans for men.

Shrink-to-fit jeans: Jeans that are not pre-shrunk. These types of jeans will tend to shrink quite a bit when
washed, so they must be bought with that in mind and sized accordingly. See more on this above,
beginning under Samurai Jeans. Jeans made out of raw denim, not pre-washed or Sanforized.
Slubs: Slubs are imperfections either accidental or deliberately created along a length of yarn that
consist of thick and thin sections. These nubby places (imagine beads of dew along a spider web) can be
created by twisting the yarn or by using a combination of different lengths of cotton fibers to produce it
(something that modern manufacturers usually take great pains to avoid). If a pair of denim jeans is
slubby, then the fabric is made of yarn that has slubs in it. This slubbiness is often considered a desirable
trait, as it gives the denim more texture, a vintage appeal, and sometimes makes it tougher. Slubby cotton
fabric can feel either softer or rougher against your skin, depending on the cotton used, the twist in the yarn,
the tightness of the weave, and so forth. To go with your slubby jeans, slubby cotton T-shirts are becoming
more popular now. Samurai is known for making jeans with slubby denim woven from 100% Texas cotton
that consists of fibers of varying lengths.
Stone wash: Stonewashed jeans are just that: jeans washed with stones. The Guess company often gets
credit for introducing stone-washed jeans to the marketplace in the early 1980s. How do you wash
something with stones? Jeans or denim fabric are tossed in a large, industrial washing machine along with
a bunch of volcanic rocks (usually pumice) and run through a wash cycle. Sometimes bleach is added to
further degrade the fabric. This process is problematic, however, due to its inconsistent effects. It also wears
out washing machines and there are undesirable environmental effects from pumice residue. Nowadays,
jeans designated as stonewashed are generally washed using enzymes (also known as biostoning).
Stone-washing gives jeans that lived-in, worked-in, distressed look that some people like. It was popular in
the 80s and you can still find stonewashed jeans at various retailers. You pay a premium for them, of
course. If you dont want to pay the extra freight to get jeans that start out looking worn, you can stone-wash
your regular, undistressed jeans at home. Do it by soaking them in a salt-water solution for a couple of days
to soften the fabric, then attack your jeans with sandpaper or a pumice stone. Wash them afterwards and
dry them in the sun. Some people even try washing jeans with actual rocks and a bit of bleach in the
washing machine (small, smooth rocks are recommended). You can find out further details about these
processes on the Internet. Your once-pristine jeans can be made to look rather tapped-out like theyve
been worn frequently by a clumsy guy with a mullet who likes to ride 3-wheel ATVs in his spare time.

Straight cut jeans by Carhartt

Straight cut: Like the term boot-cut, straight cut refers to the design or cut of a pair of jeans. Straightcut jeans are probably the most common style of mens jeans they certainly are the design with the most
history. Viewed in profile, this design features a straight silhouette as the legs of the jeans drop more or less
straight from the thigh, with no flare or taper (i.e., no change in circumference) from the knee to the hem.
The diameter of straight cut (also known as straight leg) jeans can be either generous or slim in the legs,
depending on the overall style for example, relaxed fit versus traditional fit. Straight-cut jeans are
functional, classic, look good on active, athletic guys, and are made with rises of various lengths, depending
on the brand. Pictured at right are Carhartt Traditional Fit Straight-Leg (straight-cut) jeans. The rise of
these jeans hits just below the waist and the seat and thigh are fairly slim. Good jeans for work. Or riding
your Bultaco.
Twill: A fabric weave characterized by parallel diagonal ribs. Twill is one of the three basic textile weaves,
the other two being plain and satin. (By the way, weaving simply means to interlace two sets of yarns so
they cross over and under each other, usually at right angles.) Twill is one of the most comfortable, durable,
and versatile weaves and is used for many different types of yarn and products, from mens dress shirts to
curtains. Denim is the most popular type of twill fabric. Basically, jeans are a type of twill pants.
Unwashed denim: See the definition of Raw denim above, and also see the info under Samurai jeans.
Whiskers: The faded, worn lines or creases on the front of jeans around the pocket and crotch area. Some
people like whiskering on jeans, thinking it gives them character. And we all want character, right? Its cool
if the whiskers on your jeans come from wearing and using them. If you buy pre-whiskered jeans (which are
offered by a number of brands) well, its a little like plagiarizing, isnt it?

According to a chat session with a Wranglers rep on their website, since they have discontinued their
Rustler line, they now only offer 7 belt loops on jeans with waists between 34 and 42 inches.

Any suggestions on where to get 32 or 33 inch waist 7 belt loop jeans? Thanks

Hi Brian, not sure why the Wrangler rep told you that, since, among others, their 13MWZ jeans have 7
belt loops. Im wearing a pair with a 31-inch waist right now. These come in waist sizes from 27 42,
so you should be able to get some that work for you. Wranglers 13MGS George Strait Cowboy Cut
jeans also have 7 loops and waist sizes start at 29 inches.

I hadnt realized the 13MWZs were still being made I pretty much lived in these in the 60s. Went looking
for em a few years back but couldnt remember what they were called, just that they had decent room for
sitting on a bike or saddle*, straight legs that could be pulled over boots, and were unwashed.
As I remember these were sized to shrink so you didnt necessarily need to size up from your prewashedWrangler-jeans size if you know what that is just from whatever size you found fits you in the store.
I just ordered a couple from wrangler.com thanks!

Thanks for your comment, Bob. The 13MWZs are pre-shrunk now, so whatever size you get is pretty
much how theyll stay. Hope you find them as good as you remember!
