The NW1 has a curved waistband, allowing the back to sit higher than the front, offering additional support and comfort. This cut is a straight leg with a taper, which allows it to remain a classic shape while offering more space through the leg.

This cut is suitable for those with an athletic figure or who want a straighter leg. This cut is also best for those who want a jean that is appropriate for formal and informal occasions.

These are the rinsed version and will not shrink post wash, if you want the raw version you can find them here.
