We've gone back to the workwear origins of denim to create a tough pair of jeans for the real denim connoisseur.
Using denim in its purest form, the Okel Jeans are made from a Japanese 16oz loomstate selvedge. Made into garments straight from the loom, the fabric has no washing or processing. The authentic workwear style is cut with a wide leg shape, finished with rear cinch adjuster and contrast reinforced stitching.

To make a truly authentic pair of workwear jeans, we've sourced a fabric that's as close as possible to original denims. This loomstate selvedge denim is woven on traditional shuttle looms, then made straight into garments with no washing or finishing. The raw stiffness will loosen slightly with wear, moulding to the body and developing whiskers, honeycomb and traintrack markings unique to each pair.
Japanese 16oz loomstate selvedge denim. 100% cotton, no washing or finishes.
If you know your selvedge denim, you'll want to wash these jeans as little as possible, if at all. We recommend spot cleaning, but if you must wash them, please wash inside out on a cool low spin wash. Do not tumble dry. Wash with similar colours.
Please be aware that due to the raw unwashed denim, dye may transfer onto lighter coloured surfaces / garments.
These jeans are unlike any I've ever previously owned: the quality of the fabric and workmanship is phenomenal, and - whilst the thickness of the denim makes them stiff to start off with - they will break-in in time. Like a comfy pair of shoes.
These jeans seem incredibly robust, and look good too
Superb quality fabric and workmanship.
Great look and fit, very comfortable.
Starts out very stiff, but not uncomfortable and softens over a few days wear
Quite simply the best jeans I’ve ever owned. The best fitting jeans that I have owned. The best looking jeans that I have ever owned.
