Black Over-dye Selvage Democratic Jean
Denim may be ubiquitous, but it's earned that status. When executed properly, it's rugged, comfortable, and it ages beautifully—what's not to like? Just because the formula is familiar, though, doesn't mean there's no room for experimentation, which is exactly what we've done with our latest jeans. This 100% organic cotton Black Over-Dye Selvage denim may look pretty typical at first glance, but with time the top layer of color will fade away to reveal the indigo and natural yarns underneath. Watching it evolve over the years is half the fun, so take your time and enjoy the show.

Material
This 13-oz selvage denim is made with 100% organic cotton—better for the environment, better for our collective conscience. Thanks to a special dyeing process, its break-in period will produce some incredible fades: it'll start off black, fade to a rich indigo, and—with enough time—its natural-colored warp yarns will emerge. Custom YKK hardware, SF map print pocketing, and our signature leather patch round out this absolutely exceptional pair of jeans.

Who doesn’t love cotton? It’s soft, versatile, and low-maintenance. Unfortunately, the conventionally grown stuff is absurdly wasteful and often relies on harmful chemicals. That’s why this product is built with organic cotton—all of the benefits, none of the BS.
