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

Love these!

"I haven’t found a pair of jeans I loved in a long time and these are it finally. Great color, comfortable fit and stretch. Love the style looks great with a tucked in top. Great high waist! Also one major positive is that I do not need to hem them with the shorter inseam option!"

Kimberly K. (5/5)

Women with curves

"They are a great color and shape. Especially if you are a narrow or thin woman. I am not. I think my only gripe about everlane has ever been the fit for women with curves. Ive been a marathon runner since teen yrs and I may look thin but I have always had a bottom and thighs."

Katherine S. (4/5)

Stylish and comfortable

"I absolutely love these jeans! The fit is perfect, and the fabric is so soft and comfortable. They feel great to wear all day while still looking stylish and flattering. I liked them so much that I decided to buy the same pair in two other colors. Highly recommend!"

Sviatlana S. (5/5)

"Incredible pants! Theyre so flattering on me. I’m 5’11” and hourglass shaped. I also have long legs and a pretty high natural waist. I’ve been looking for straight jeans that actually look good on me and these surpassed expectations. My new favorite jeans! The 29. 5” inseam hits right at the ankle too."

Cozy (5/5)

Same size + different wash = different size.

"TLDR: sizing is inconsistent across different colors. I’ve had the same pair of Everlane jeans for five years and they’ve held up like none other. They’ve also managed to stretch with me as my body has grown over many seasons. These two things made me feel ready to invest in another pair of Everlanes jeans and after making a trip to try them on in-store, I was thrilled to find the perfect pair that even had some breathing room! A week later, when I was ready to order them online, the exact wash I had tried on wasn’t available, so I went with a darker wash and same size and style. When they arrived, the darker wash fit a full size smaller than the ones in-store. I returned them and am waiting for the exact wash I tried on in store to be in stock again."

Carmelita R. (3/5)

Un flattering fit

"I have a pair of The Way-High® Curve Jean which fit perfectly so I ordered the same size in this style but the waist in this size is larger. I don’t know if it is a defect with the pair I ordered but the leg also bunches awkwardly at the top of the inseam."

Katherine M. (3/5)

Finally found the perfect jeans

"Finally found the perfect jeans for me!!! It’s only taken 56 years!!! Amazing jeans - good quality denim (no bagging out), choice of lengths and washes. Also the Customer Service is quick, friendly and easy to access. Fab job Everlane 👏👏👏"

Alison H. (5/5)

Great fit, a tad short

"Great Jean! I’m 5’5 and 125 lbs and ordered a size 25. They definitely are more comfortable than the older way-high. My only complaint is that they are a tad short. I wish I had about an inch more of fabric on the legs for the winter months. But otherwise, I’m sure this length will look great with sandals in the summer."

Madison C. (4/5)

The jeans I have always wanted!

"I love the fit, the softness and the color. These are the perfect kick around jean."

Diana A. (5/5)

decent pair of jeans

"like one of the comments that i read below, this is a decent pair of grey jeans although i had higher expectation for the price. the material is definitely on the softer/thinner side, i personally prefer the cheeky jeans material."
