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

Great relaxed fit

"The only size left in these was a 24 an I usually wear a 25, but because these are relaxed and the denim has seemed to have a bit of give to it with subsequent wears, the 24 fits great! Love the style and the wash. Great quality, as always :)"

Runs really big

"These are cute but runs very large. Size down! Everything else is good but sizing is inconsistent. These fit like a pair of 26’s I also have from everlane"

Elyse L. (1/5)

Gaping in back

"These did not work for me. The length was fine. But there was so much gaping in the back of the waist that I can’t wear them."

ANSG (2/5)

Great fit

"I sized up and I’m happy I did. I love my Agolde denim shorts but these are a great addition to my collection"

Mlsxn (4/5)

Very strange fit

"Tight in the leg opening with a huge gap in back. I knew it was a gamble based on the reviews but for the final sale price I thought I’d try."

Claire1223 (1/5)

Fit Works For Me

"I’m 6’ and 170 with curves and these actually fit perfectly for me. I think these are good if you have a bigger butt- no back gap for this one! 🍑 The fabric is a nice weight and still comfortable. The length is just enough coverage and still cute."

I S. (5/5)

These shorts have a major design flaw

"I got a bigger size like the overview recommended and they didn’t not fit comfortably. Sadly they are final sale so I have to either give them away or donate them. Highly dissatisfied, Everlane has never made something this awkward fitting. I’m frightened to order anything else to be honest."

Irispacheco (1/5)

Poor customer service

"This was my first time ordering from Everlane and although products seem to be a high quality, sizing is a bit off from what I typically wear. When I spoke to customer service rep, I was advised that each product may differ because of the way they produce their jeans. She was not able to offer a solution for a first time buyer so now I’m stuck with the clothes I cannot wear as they were on clearance. Will not be ordering again."

Did not fit well - waist is big legs small

"Not comfortable Legs small - bites into your skin"

Destiny23 (1/5)

A little baggy

"The Jean material great, the design style was alright, I wish it was slightly less flared to best suit my petite body type. I also wish it was more comfortable in terms of sitting, it feels a bit to tight when I sit. But other then this, it’s alright."
