Product Insights
The DL1961 Hepburn Embossed Seam Jean in a wide-leg, high-rise fit blends 69% cotton and 31% TENCEL lyocell for a buttery-soft hand and fluid drape. Embossed centre seams and caramel contrast stitching create a vertical line that elongates the leg and adds heritage-workwear undertones. TENCEL lyocell wicks sweat, resists odors, holds dye longer, and limits shrinkage to under 3% per wash. However, the stretch denim relaxes over hours of wear, so sizing down is recommended; buyers under 5'8" may need hemming. Produced in a closed-loop process using FSC-certified pulp and less than 10 gallons of water per pair (versus 1,500 industry average), it offers a premium detail at $339—a value typical of higher-priced fashion denim. Flow Space named it best wide-leg jean after testing hundreds.
