The SE1's are traditional workwear jeans inspired by early 20th-century models. Distinctive heritage design with scalloped pocketing and cinch-back, inspired by jeans worn by miners. Suspender buttons are optional and can be requested.

This particular denim from Japanese mill Kaihara is characterful and comes in an interesting cotton / linen blend which makes this a great option for warmer climates as we have found it is more breathable, paired with a looser cut you will find that you can easily wear it all year round.

Notes

Heritage early 20th century styling with distinctive details
Medium front rise sits at the hip, high back rise hugs the waist with a stunning fishtail and cinch
Perfect for athletic body shapes or for those with curvier hips who need a bit of hip and thigh room. Due to the relaxed fit, they work just as easily on lean body shapes or for those looking for a wider leg.
Suitable for those who particularly like heritage styling
Straight wide leg, tapering ever so slightly from the thigh down
Linen is known for being strong, great for regulating body heat which means its suitable for cooler and warmer climates
Illya is wearing a size 35. He is 188cm (6’2”) and weighs 88kg (194lbs)
Same cut as the E14, just with a cinched back and fishtail waistband
