The Modesto Fit is Freenote's newest denim cut in their (now) 7 style lineup. They call it their "workwear fit", and we're inclined to agree, as these feature a high rise and a full top block with wide, straight legs. They'll fit over boots without issue, and have enough room to really move around in, being pretty unrestrictive in general.

The details are important too, and they weren't skipped - from the copper rivets to the flat-felled seams and 1/8" double needle stitching, the construction is extremely solid, durable and robust while remaining traditional. They have the classic five pocket configuration, with acorn shaped back pockets and a copper button fly. Inside, the pockets are cut from a vintage Japanese herringbone stripe fabric.

At long last, Freenote has a proprietary denim that's here to stay. Developed by Freenote and produced by Kaihara Mills in Japan, this is a 100% cotton, indigo-dyed 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim. Woven at high tension, the outer warp threads feature a dark indigo dye, while the mostly obscured inner weft threads are white - giving the jeans an especially dark appearance initially, but leading to more dramatic fading as the white threads start to become visible beneath the indigo.

Fits true to size. Wash cold and dry delicate or hang dry.
