Men's Hand Brushed Straight Leg Denim Jeans

Loose jeans with a light, hand-brushed blue wash that glows like a pair of denim left on a sunny porch. Deep fade marks cover the lap and the thighs in a soft, cloudy cream and gold, the back has smooth, soft patches across the seat and the legs fall straight and wide from the hip. The fabric is thick and heavy but washed so soft it drapes cleanly. They look like a favorite old pair found at the back of a closet. Pull them on with a tee and sneakers and you're done.

We picked this one for the brushing. The denim runs from a mid blue at the edges to a pale, creamy gold through the lap and thighs, with heavy horizontal whiskers across the front and a soft, even haze across the seat and calves. A metal button closes the waist, belt loops circle the top, the front has the classic five-pocket layout and the back has two stitched pockets with a faded top edge. The legs fall straight and loose to the floor.

It comes in Jeans Blue. Wear them with a boxy white tee and chunky sneakers, a cropped hoodie and boots, or an oversized flannel and skate shoes. Add a chain and a cap and you've got a laid-back, sun-faded street look.

For the guy who wants light denim that looks lived in. The loose cut, the hand-brushed wash and the heavy cotton blend give these a vintage, street and relaxed feel that works from spring through early fall. They hold their shape, they soften with wear and the loose fit leaves plenty of room. Slide into a pair and head out. They're the jeans that look like they've always been yours. They look like an heirloom pair, but you get to skip the hand-me-down part.
