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

Farbe washed out und Sitz sind traumhaft

"Ich habe die Jeans in der Farbe Washed Out in 31/ L bereits gekauft, sie sieht so toll aus. Macht schlank und ist weich und angenehm. Ich habe die längere Ausführung gewählt, da ich 167 cm groß bin und die Länge ideal ist, wenn sie nicht 7/8 sondern bis zum Knöchel reichen soll. Wiege 82 kg und trage gr 42/44. da die 31 gerade so passt(Gewicht schwankt) habe ich mir noch eine in 32L bestellt. Der Reißverschluss lässt sich nicht ganz so butterweich schließen wie bei den bisherigen Jeans von Everlane."

— Nina (5/5)

"Perfect pair of jeans. Very comfortable and a great value for how nice they are. Ive paid well over $200 for jeans before and these are just as nice and a much better value!"

— Kristen (5/5)

Nice jeans, poor poor fit

"The construction and fabric were excellent, but the jeans did not fit my body. The waist was ok, but the hips and thighs were too loose"

— Julie B. (5/5)

Not the same Way High Jeans

"I bought the exact same pair if jeans in 2025 and bought another one recently because I loved them so much. They are now a completely different fit - much baggier. Note that I ever only wash my jeans in cold water and air dry, so they have not shrunk. Also just the way that the jeans hug the hips is completely different. The new style is more boyfriend fit. Reached out to customer service to return but have to heard back."

— Jenny K. (1/5)

Great!

"I'm in love with these jeans. I think they are so comfily and flattering on me. The color and fit is exactly like the picture. The cut is not to high. I'm 5'10' (178 cm) and the length is just in the heels"

— Petra A. (5/5)

Runs small

"Bought the same pair in a lighter color and the fit is better, the light color feels more conformable and loose but not baggy, maybe in this color is better to go 1 size up? not sure."

— Petra A. (4/5)

Way high 2. 0

"Absolutely love!!!I got so many compliments and sent so many people the link!!"

— katharine A. (5/5)

Way higher

"Love these jeans, a nice rigid fabric, the cut is great. Could have maybe gone one size down"

— Margaret L. (5/5)

Giant waist gap

"They fit fine except for the waist. There is a huge gap (~1. 5 in) in the back of the jeans. The previous version of Way High jeans fit perfectly around the waist."

— Holly H. (3/5)

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)
