The 400-WW Jean from UES harks back to the old-school straight-leg fits of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Calling on a custom red-line selvedge denim woven from long-staple Zimbabwe cotton, these jeans have an earthy brown cast and will yield the dusty fades seen on classic Levi’s styles. The pocket bags are fashioned from surplus satin—a nod to the every-stitch-counts resourcefulness made necessary by the war effort. In true UES style, the 400-WW features all-yellow constructional stitching for that signature pop of contrast. These jeans are unsanforized but come one-washed—no further shrinkage is expected.
Carlo wears a size 31 jean. He is 185cm tall and weighs 78kg / 6ft 1" and 172 lbs.
