Black is one of the two most requested Denim Tears colours. It holds the wreath print sharpest and hides everyday wear. Built on the Levi's 501, a straight leg based on a 1954 pattern with a mid rise and button fly. Putting a motif about American cotton onto the most recognisable jean ever made is the point rather than a licensing convenience. Production runs small here, which is a function of how the label chooses to work rather than manufactured scarcity.
Fit. Sold on waist measurement and runs true. If you have owned 501s before, the same number applies. Do not size up hoping for a looser leg, as the width is fixed by the pattern.
Styling. Chunky trainers or boots balance the straight leg.
Care. Wash as rarely as you can stand, cold and inside out. Every cycle strips indigo and softens the print, and the character in a good pair comes from wearing them rather than cleaning them.
