Straight-Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans with a consistent thigh-to-hem line for programmes that want a clean, adaptable silhouette across genders and market segments.
Overview
Product overview
Straight-leg jeans keep a steady line from thigh through hem, which makes them a reliable assortment bridge between slim and relaxed blocks. Pattern work focuses on leg balance and hem opening so the jean reads intentional rather than tapered or flared.
They suit core denim lines, uniform-adjacent casual programmes and private-label collections that need one leg shape to support several washes and fabric weights.
