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

size down if ordering Deep Indigo

"If you are buying the Deep Indigo color, consider sizing down. The Way-High Jean 2.0 are my favorite jeans and I have several colors all in size 27. I love everything about them - fit, comfort, quality! When I recently ordered the Deep Indigo in my usual size 27, they had a much baggier fit than I am used to. I then ordered the size 26 and they fit just like my 27s in the other colors. They are a beautiful wash and I am keeping the larger size as well for days that call for a looser fit -- Thanksgiving ;)"

— Holly B. (5/5)

Jeans

"Perfect if you would like a more rigid jean that does not stretch out. Comfortable, good medium color. Runs true to size. Has a higher waist and regular length is also true to size. I am 5'6" and 125 lbs. Ordered a 27 regular. I can wear ballet flats, sneakers or loafers with these jeans. They are too short for boots for me. I biggest selling point for me was that they do not stretch out after wearing them. Keep their shape."

— Alison P. (4/5)

Great fit

"I'm delighted with my new way-high jeans. It was time for me to replace my old ones, and I couldn't have chosen a better fit: strong fabric, good zipper and closure, just right pockets depth. Keep making them!"

— Susana C. (5/5)

Best jeans

"I went into my local Everlane store to buy these after stepping away from the brand for a year or so. My goodness, these jeans are everything. They fit in all the right places. Hands down, some of the best denim I've had. I'm a bit curvier in the seat and these do not ride up at all. 5'5" 132 lbs and waist 26". Perfect jeans. I've returned as a customer happily to the brand."

— Nicole M. (5/5)

Not usually a high waisted

"Not usually a high waisted jeans person, but these are very comfortable and flattering! I am 5'-4" tall and these fit right to the bottom of my ankles/ tops of my shoes. Love the fact that I didn't need to have them shortened! Love the feel of the denim."

— Cheryl H. (5/5)

Love my new black pants

"I was looking for black comfortable pants and I found them at Everlane. It is very important for me to wear items that are made with clean and natural materials. These are organic cotton and I’m very happy. Highly recommend!"

— Rebekah M. (5/5)

Love these jeans!

"These are my second pair of these jeans. I absolutely love them. There is a little stretch but definitely still have structure. Only complaint is that the waist is a little big on me but that happens often for me."

— Lindsey B. (4/5)

Way High 2.0

"I was skeptical to try these after loving my original Way High jeans for years. This newer version is a perfect fit. I appreciate that the waist is not as high and I’m planning on purchasing more colors."

— Katelynn H. (5/5)

Just okay

"This is my first purchase from Everlane since the SHEIN sell/buyout. I would say quality is worse. I don’t have this exact pair of pants to compare but I have the way high sailor jean which I purchased years ago and would say are much better quality and thicker denim. I’m disappointed by these pants. The denim is thin and stretches out through the day. They do not keep their shape. I liked them at first but after wearing for about a month I’ve changed my mind. I would not recommend these if you want jeans that will hold their shape and be long lasting. Quality has definitely gone down."

— Anna M. (3/5)

Perfect straight leg jeans

"These pants are great. I’m on the shorter side, 5’4, and feel like straight leg jeans usually don’t sit right and make me look frumpy. But these jeans are the perfect length and the waist is very fitted so holds me in and looks flattering. When I first put them on the waist was pretty tight, but when you wear them they stretch a bit. I would definitely recommend these!"

— Michelle F. (5/5)
