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.

14oz weight indigo selvedge denim woven in Japan by Kurabo, Kaihara or Collect Mills makes this a classic raw selvedge denim jean you’ll want to rave about.
