Product Insights
Wooyoungmi's Faded Wide-Leg Jean, a rigid 100% cotton denim made in South Korea under the first Korean men's RTW label, offers an architectural high-rise full silhouette with a 13-inch front rise and 29.5-inch inseam, true to size as modeled by a 6'3 frame wearing IT48. The design balances masculine tailoring with feminine ease, featuring faded whiskering and contrast stitching, with a pre-wash that removes 30-50% of dye for gradual even fading. The core tradeoff is the rigid denim's lack of stretch, requiring accurate hip and waist fit. Priced at $650 CAD alongside APC and Acne Studios, it is currently out of stock.
Verified claims
- Measurements
- 13-inch front rise with 29.5-inch inseam.
- Stretch
- Rigid denim has no stretch; hips and waist must fit accurately.
- Size guidance
- True to size; 6'3 model wears IT48.
- Fit
- The 13-inch front rise and 29.5-inch inseam create a full, relaxed wide-leg silhouette; the jean is labeled mid-rise, so the waistband sits below the navel.
- Design concept
- WOOYOUNGMI's architectural design shapes the jean's dramatic silhouette
- Design philosophy
- Masculine tailoring balanced with feminine ease, rooted in architectural thinking.
- Fade evolution
- Pre-wash removes 30-50% of dye, resulting in gradual, even fading.
- Heritage
- Made in South Korea under the first Korean men's RTW label.
- Construction
- Rigid 100% cotton denim with faded whiskering and contrast stitching.
- Value
- Original $650 CAD places it alongside APC and Acne Studios denim.
- Country of manufacture
- Made in South Korea under direct studio control, not outsourced to Italy or Japan.
- Fade uniqueness
- The fading is a standard wash applied to all pairs of this style, not individually unique to each pair.
- Fabric construction
- The denim is not described as selvedge; it is structured 100% organic cotton denim.
- Inseam fit by height
- The 29.5-inch inseam falls cropped at the ankle on the 6'3 model, hits near the shoe with little to no break on a 5'10 frame, and is likely to need rolling or tailoring under 5'8.
- Design details
- Contrast stitching and subtle whiskering provide a finish typically reserved for higher-end denim.
