Full-Length Straight Jean with Cat-Scratch Fading

Distressing done properly. Knee slits and cat-scratch detailing run through this pair, the kind of fading that happens to denim over years rather than in a factory afternoon.

The waist is high and flattering, and the silhouette stays relaxed at full length, so the pair never looks like it is trying too hard despite the detailing. The denim underneath is rigid and non-stretch, built from durable 100% cotton, which gives it a structured feel and the authentic vintage character that stretch denim cannot fake. The rise measures 11.5 inches, the inseam 27.5, the leg opening 8.

The balance here is unusual: enough character to give an outfit an edge, enough restraint to stay versatile. It works with a plain top precisely because the jean has already supplied the visual interest.
