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.

"Great staple piece. Soft but substantial material. I can tell these will wear for a long time."
"I was attempting to replace jeans I purchased in 2008. Straight jeans, dark wash. Size 29 with a 26 inseam. Looking to go up one size in the waist. Although they still fit. These jeans were thin. too tight in the waist and thigh. They also flared at the hem. Why are they lighter in the front? Not even Old Navy quality. I'm unable to use them. It's a final sale, and I have two pairs. I'm going to only consider other unique items or cargo pants from Everlane. Their jean descriptions are too wordy and offer little value in making a fitting decision. Do better!"
"Perfection. Im 5’7” and these sit right above my ankle, not an awkward lengh! Perfect for boots/cute socks/sandals. Comfy and love them!"
"I’m 5’-4” and 130 lbs. I ordered a size 27. The fit is perfect. The denim is soft and holds its shape. Just with the indigo was darker."
"My thoughts are that following the news that Everlane been acquired by SheIn, I am embarrassed to wear these pants in public. Luckily Everlane has a decent secondhand market which is the only way I will ever purchase something from this brand. You are a disgrace to the fashion industry. Shame on you for ever marketing yourself as a company with a spine. How dare you think that your profit is worth that of human suffering that we all know happens in Sheehan and other fast fashion factories. You disgust me."

"I've owned this same style of jeans in other washes from 3+ years ago, and the current version is made of a much thinner, floater denim that sits strangely on the body, especially around the ankle, where it wants to flare. The sizing has also changed, and shifted to run small by about half a size."
"I needed new jeans and after shopping, went back to a favorite pair and looked online for the brand. They were Everlane, purchased who knows when (years ago. So I ordered the exact same size since I liked the way they fit et voila - what I got seems to be a replica so I am happy with the product. I am marking fits true to size even though they're snug - I have gained a couple of pounds and the old favorites are well broken in and adjusted to my sizing over the years."
"They were not as expected and completely different to my other cheeky jean. Completely different material - very soft and stretchy as opposed to sturdier denim of my other pair of original cheeky jeans. I'm super disappointed as I can't return them because they're in the sale and now stuck with a pair of jeans that don't fit well and Everlane don't accept returns on sale items."
"The jeans fit great. I’m between 27-28 and I’m glad I ordered the 28, the fit is perfect. However, I ordered the 28. 5 inch inseam and received jeans that had an attached tag stating 28. 5 inseam…but they measure 26”. This is a huge disappointment since they are final sale. I checked my receipt, the tags on the jeans, and measured. They’ll still be ok for summer with sandals and flats…but not the jeans I was hoping for."
