Conventional denim production is dirty business and we’re on a mission to clean it up. Here's how we're doing it differently—and why that matters for you.
Better denim starts with better materials. We prioritize certified organic and regenerative cotton — a tiny share of the world's supply — grown with less water and healthier soil practices. That same intention carries through to production: state-of-the-art factories that recycle up to 98% of their water, using ozone washing, air drying, and renewable energy to reduce water and energy use by design.
We work with mills and wash houses that have verifiably reduced chemical use, moving away from harmful treatments common in conventional denim. Our partners are independently tested against leading safer chemistry standards like bluesign, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and ZDHC — not self-reported claims. Fewer chemicals in your jeans, safer conditions for the people who make them, and lower environmental impact.
We don't guess at environmental impact — we verify it. Using Jeanologia's EIM, the industry benchmark standard for environmental denim wash impact, 96% of our washes score low to medium — meaning significantly less water, energy, and chemicals than conventional denim.
Our denim fabric is rigorously third-party tested multiple times from development through pre-production — verifying durability, consistency, and performance across fabric weight, tear strength, and color fastness. The result: denim built to get better with age, with more years in your wardrobe and fewer replacements.

"These were final sale and as soon ad I took them out of the package I knew they were a miss. Picture a circle with two sticks. That’s the shape of these jeans. I cut them into shorts and they still sucked. Garbage. Don’t buy unless you’re shaped like a seagull."
"These jeans are great if you have hour glass shape. They are a bit stiff, I got size 27 my usually size, it is loose by through my legs but fitting around my waist. They look cute on."
"I’m frustrated because these jeans look awesome but for the second, third, or fourth time I’ve bought from everland “on sale”, … Just trying to save a few bucks… The product comes in the size is completely wrong and I’m stuck with something I can’t wear."
"I love that these fit so comfortably straight out of the package. I was blessed with large hips and a small waist and always have such difficulty with finding fitting jeans that don’t require mandatory alterations. Not with this pair! I’m so impressed, please do not stop making this style, I’m going to look for more colors as soon as possible."

"Not a good fit - l strange and unflattering. No stretch at all so no give."
"These jeans are amazing. At first I ordered them in just one colour. Since then, I have ordered them in every other colour I was able to because the sale price was so amazing and they fit me better than any other pair of jeans ever has. I have a tiny waist with bigger hips, and i’ve always had a waist gap in any pair of jeans i’ve worn. In these, the gap is non-existent!!"
"Love this Jeans! (English is not my fist language so please forgive me if anything is wrong) Please continue making them, more colour to choose from is much appreciated! Brought two jeans in this order and this hourglass one looks better. The biggest problem of me buying jeans is that the hip fits and the waist dosen't (too wide for my waist). The '90s Cheeky Hourglass Jean do not have this problem, just perfect fit! I usually order size 6 jeans from some American fast fashion brand, and I am 160CM. Hope this help from you to decide which size you take."
