The Cleanest Denim You'll Find.

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 Is Our Starting Point

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.

The Only Toxic We Appreciate Is the Song

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.

Measured, Not Marketing

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.

Can't Have Quality Without Standards

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.

Reviews

Perfect for hourglass figures

"I hope Everlane keeps making these! I wear between a 28-29, depending on if the jean has stretch, and the 28 is perfect. I previously fell in love with Modern Flare jean, because it fit my hourglass shape beautifully, and was devastated when they discontinued the style. These have become my new favourite, and I'd love to buy them in the darker colour, too. So fingers crossed they're not discontinued. But, if they are, I'm really glad I snagged them while I could."

Jamieson E. (5/5)

Cute, quality jeans

"These jeans are great quality, a good length and fit true to the size of the measurements. I have a short torso and they could be comically disproportionate on my frame, but with the right shirt combo they work. As other reviewers stated they’re a solid 70’s vibe…but they still feel modern. I would recommend."

Laura E. (5/5)

Not good for me but still nice quality jeans

"This style wasn’t good for me and I regret buying it final sale. Tummy is snug but rear and thighs very wide and way too long. Not flattering enough overall to pay to shorten. Material feels nice and substantial though and they are a nice goes with everything Jean color."

Diana F. (3/5)

No regrets

"Got these on clearance, final sale. I am not disappointed at all. The fit is perfect (I have a true 28 inch waist, usually 26-27 in jeans) and the 27 fits beautifully without being too tight. Very flattering on the backside and the perfect length. I get so many compliments on these jeans. PS they have some stretch to them which I don’t normally like, but it works!"

"Fint short bun nice. Very stretchy"

Danielle (4/5)

70s vibes. Stretchy.

"70s vibes. Are very high rise. Length is spot on for me at 5’7 with more torso than leg. Definitely stretchy which I’m meh on at this point but makes the waist comfy."

Karen A. (5/5)

High key jean

"Super soft, stretchy and comfy jeans. Runs big, could have gone down in size. I’m 5’11, 170lb, ordered the 31 but should have gotten the 30. Also ordered a size 29 which is snug but if I lose some weight will fit well. The 31 is great length, the size 29 is shorter."

Heather B. (5/5)

So flattering!

"These jeans are so soft, comfortable and very flattering. They might be my new favorite."

Sakina S. (5/5)

Superlative clothing!

"These jeans fit like a charm. They are designed to define leg shape, which for a wide-leg pant is an atounding acheivement. The quality of Everlane jeans is leagues above other manufacturers: tthe fabric is sturdy and retains color, the stitching uses superstrong thread and is faultless, and the overall fit results in a really classy look. I just wish they'd make this style with standard pockets!"

Jill Z. (5/5)

Great jeans

"Great jeans! They have a little stretch but it’s not bad and they don’t lose shape. Love them."
