Our designers are obsessed with denim—and it shows. We source denim from some of the world's most renowned mills, create exclusive washes and build our jeans to feel good from the moment you put them on. For this pair, we went to the Kaihara mill in Japan, one of the largest and best-known denim makers in the world. In more than 50 years of production, Kaihara has patented machines to improve the weaving process and developed new techniques that blend American and Japanese dyeing traditions. We made this pair in a broken-in wash in 100 percent cotton (note the selvedge details when you flip the cuffs, a sign of denim that's meant to last). By buying cotton products from J.Crew, you're supporting more responsibly grown cotton through the Better Cotton Initiative. Cotton. Traditional 5-pocket styling. Button fly. Since this item is indigo dyed, it's prone to crocking, or color transfer, so wear (and wash) it with dark colors till it's worn in. Machine wash.
