After encountering a vintage pair of jeans with a transfixing light blue indigo color, the boys down at Freenote spent the next 8 years researching and working to recreate this unique denim. They've finally succeeded, and now offer the beautiful "vintage blue" denim, a 12oz, 100% cotton selvedge produced exclusively for Freenote by Yoshiwa Mills in Japan.

At 12oz, the fabric is a comfortable medium-light weight that works for all but the hottest and coldest days of the year. Freenote have also given this fabric a single rinse to account for initial shrinkage and soften them up a touch. Despite their light color, these are indigo-dyed and will fade over time with wear and washing, developing more old-school, low contrast fades throughout.

The Wilkes are Freenote's more modern take to a classic cowboy cut jean. With a high rise, comfortable thigh, and very slight taper to a leg opening big enough to fit a pair of boots under, they're an excellent cowboy twist on a classic tapered fit. The double flat felled seams on each leg add strength and longevity to the pants, while still maintaining the selvedge detail on the outseam.

The finishings are of an equal calibre, with custom copper rivets, a YKK fly zip, full grain leather Freenote flasher, and custom woven labels.

Fits true to size. Minimal shrinkage expected with a cold wash and hang dry.
