3 Perfect Pairs of Jeans

By Christina Perez on September 07, 2017

Haute couture construction and custom tailoring comes to the world of selvedge.

SHARE:

Looking to snag luxe denim you'll wear for years to come? Go bespoke. From constructing the ideal pair of jeans out of two secondhand pairs, to choosing from over 900 denims, these three brands go above and beyond to ensure you find the perfect fit.

3x1

Scott Morrison, previously of Earnest Sewn and Paper Denim & Cloth, founded 3x1 with a focus on fit. In the NYC store (or by phone for follow-up orders), bespoke customers choose from over 900 denims. Then specialists customize every detail. From $650 for custom; from $1,500 for bespoke; 3x1.us.

E.L.V. Denim

Each pair from E.L.V. (it stands for East London Vintage) is constructed from two separate pairs of secondhand denim jeans. Fabric from castoff Levi’s, Lees, or Wranglers is mixed and matched to create a toile, then fitted to the client’s specifications. From $500; elvdenim.com.

Loren

Loren Cronk’s small Brooklyn store feels like the workshop of a tailor from another era—if that tailor had an obsession with ultra-premium American-milled denim. The Levi’s and Ralph Lauren veteran makes his small-batch jeans by hand one at a time. From $1,000; lorencronk.com.
