WHY THE J-SHAPE?

Some of you have questioned the peculiar shape of our denim, as an unorthodox shape to the common straight leg silhouette.  Instead, we use an inward J-Silhouette that always leaves people questioning its purpose.

What started as an accidental cut from a bad sketch from Alan King our founder in highschool turned into one of the most practical and interesting fits for denim to this day. Along the way we developed and perfected this cut to provide many benefits to different people such as:

1. The extended J-shape of our jeans makes the stacks on our denim possible.  This is something that some denim cannot replicate as their inseam measurements are relative to your leg's measurements.  So they'll often fit to you just right, but without the stacks. Like a regular straight leg.

We introduced our first J-Shape denim on as a way to add more depth to its silhouette. It seemed like raw denim was two-dimensional and needed a different shape to truly grasp it's unique nature.

2. Unisex & Height Inclusive Fit 
With this cut we quickly realized that not only was this perfect for stacking aesthetically but also for nearly every leg shape, curve or height. This shape allows for a better fitting pant for you. Many people who try this on never put on a normal pair of jeans again. They are addicted to the fit. You have been warned ;).

 Overtime this rising popularity also made us realize many other benefits to the shape such as how people that might be 4'11 or 7'1 can wear the same jean. The main factor was our long outseam curve wraps around to fit your leg and curves in a snug and comfortable way  while traditional jeans may feel like you are just putting them on.

With the popularity of stacked jeans rising, we introduced more styles with the J Shape Silhouette. Such was the case of the Kyle Cargo, a twist on a classic baggy pants like the cargo. Known for it's baggy fit and numerous stash pockets, we decided to make our first cargos slimmer and add our J cut as a signature of our craft. You may have seen other brands start doing flare stacked jeans, or super long inseam stacked jeans, we kept to our original shape to truly master the perfect pair stacked jeans for you. 

Now we boast a full collection of jeans with this cut, all of which you can find by clicking the denim tab above or clicking this link.
