Crafted from a custom 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim, these jeans offer a comfortable, relaxed fit with a slight taper for a modern silhouette. The dark indigo dye fades beautifully to reveal contrasting white threads, creating dramatic visual interest over time. Features include durable flat-felled seams and custom hardware, ensuring both style and longevity. Ideal for those looking for versatility between slim-straight and wide-leg options, they promise minimal shrinkage with proper care.
From the brand: At long last, Freenote has a proprietary denim that's here to stay. Developed by Freenote and produced by Kaihara Mills in Japan, this is a 100% cotton, indigo-dyed 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim. Woven at high tension, the outer warp threads feature a dark indigo dye, while the mostly obscured inner weft threads are white - giving the jeans an especially dark appearance initially, but leading to more dramatic fading as the white threads start to become visible beneath the indigo.
Sharing many of the same qualities as the Portola, particularly in the top block and thigh (being relaxed, comfortable, and accommodating), the Trabuco is a more relaxed fit with a much less pronounced taper. Despite visually reading as a straight leg, these do have a slight taper (like many other "straight leg" jeans). These are a great choice for something in between a slim-straight and a wide-leg leg.
The rest of the details are exactly what we've come to expect from Freenote: custom copper hardware, Japanese herringbone pocket bags, tonal "antique gold" selvedge ticker and all custom labels (woven and leather). Construction-wise there are no surprises either, with durable flat-felled seams and Freenote's signature 1/8" double needle stitching accents keeping the whole thing held together.
