Straight Five-Pocket Pants in Indigo Selvedge Denim
STRAIGHT FIVE-POCKET PANTS IN INDIGO SELVEDGE DENIM
Lemaire treats denim not as casual wear, but as a medium for clean tailoring. These straight-leg trousers are cut from a dense, raw indigo selvedge cotton that possesses the structural rigidity necessary to hold an unbroken vertical line. Free of artificial washing or distressing, the deep indigo dye will wear in uniquely over years of use, mapping the movements of the wearer. The high-rise waist and straight cut provide a classic, balanced proportion that anchors heavy winter knits and structured outerwear.
High-waisted, straight-leg denim trousers constructed from stiff, raw indigo selvedge cotton.
