Grey denim has an air of having already lived a moderately interesting life. It is a pleasant quality in a pair of jeans, and one that need not be accompanied by actual hardship.

Our Stevie in Vintage Grey sits high at the waist and close through the leg. The Japanese denim blends cotton, rayon, and stretch, so a narrow silhouette needn't come at the expense of movement.

Garment washing softens the cloth, while tonal stitching and classic five-pocket construction keep the appearance admirably uncluttered.

It is a pair of jeans that can conduct itself in almost any company, which is rather more than can be said for most people.
