The Anatomy Of The Perfect Regular-Fit Jean

The Anatomy Of The Perfect Regular-Fit Jean

What makes the perfect pair of jeans? For some it means fit, others it’s the wash, but we think the most important details are those forgotten features from denim’s past.

Shopping for jeans can be frustrating for anyone, especially men. Rather than dive head first into the details of denim, we’re simply celebrating the best things about history’s most enduring pair of pants.

Copper Rivets:

Rivets, first patented in 1973 by Levi Strauss & Co., were originally reinforced pockets that extended the life of the pant. Today, they remain one of those special, symbolic staples of standard jeans that define the DNA of denim.

Leg Shape:

Flared or boot cut, straight or baggy, the lower leg defines what shoes you can wear, and for regular-fit jeans that means anything goes. The shape of your jeans should form to your leg contours like a well-fitted sweater.

Button Fly:

Although some think the button fly can be a pain–especially with those super stiff jeans–we think it’s the best way to pay homage to regular denim’s hard-laboring heritage.

The Fifth Pocket:

Classic, regular-fit jeans just don’t look right without a fifth pocket–consider it a safe, snug place to store loose change or matches.

Worn In:

Regular-fit jeans are for regular type men which means your wash should welcome the items in your working wardrobe in a worn-in James Dean kind of way. A nice, neutral medium blue is the perfect balancing point for everything from brights to whites and no matter how many times you wear or wash them, they’ll only look better with age.

Jeans aren’t just another piece in your ever-evolving clothing puzzle, they are a true, timeless classic that will outlast any other item in your closet.

Consider regular-fit jeans a man’s most rewarding pair of pants.
