Men’s jeans development

We develop men’s jeans for private-label brands, wholesalers and importers. The two public references today are a regular straight (M-01) and a relaxed straight (M-02). Use them to brief a clean indigo or a washed black programme, or send your own tech pack.

Men’s fit families

We publish only the fits we can show with a photograph and a specification. If you need a slim taper or a baggy men’s fit, send measurements or a sample. We will not invent a catalogue page for a pattern that has not been sampled.

Rise, inseam, wash & branding

A mid-rise, regular-seat straight leg in rigid cotton denim. This reference is washed as a clean indigo with subtle seam fading and no distressing. Use it as a starting fit — then confirm rise, inseam, leg opening, wash depth and branding on a sample.

Thigh ease, leg opening & trims

A mid-rise straight leg with a fuller seat and thigh, washed as charcoal with controlled grey seam highlights. Develop thigh ease, rise, leg opening, wash depth and trims against a physical sample.

On this site, “washed charcoal” describes the grey-black target shade of our Washed black programme. It is the same wash family, not a second product.

Common men’s fabrics & weights

Men’s rigid jeans shown here start around 12 to 12.5 ounces before wash. That range holds a clean indigo crease and a straight-leg shape without collapsing at the knee. Lighter fabrics, stretch blends or much heavier raw denim can be discussed, but they change sewing difficulty, wash risk and hand feel. We confirm the fabric on the sample — we do not swap a mill number silently between sample and bulk.

Men’s wash pairing

Clean indigo · default on M-01

M-01 is shown in Clean indigo. A light vintage route can be evaluated, but whiskers and destroy washes change strength and need a separate approved sample.

Washed black · default on M-02

M-02 is shown in Washed black / washed charcoal. Black and indigo lots do not share the same shade logic — a blue-wash recipe is not dropped onto a black jean.

Sizing, measuring & grading

Men’s size sets are usually briefed in waist inches (for example 28–40) or in a buyer’s own numeric chart. Measure the approved sample with the same method you expect us to use in bulk: waist position, hip position, thigh 2.5 cm under the crotch seam or at the point your chart names, knee at mid-inseam or at a fixed distance, hem opening, front rise, back rise and inseam. Grading from a 32 waist to a 40 waist is not a straight percentage increase; seat, thigh and rise need separate decisions.
