Do Yoga in James Jeans?

James Jeans' "James Twiggy Dancer"

Sport denim is officially the new normal. James Jeans is the latest brand to come out with their own version of the hybrid jean -a crossover between the basic jean and athletic wear.

The seamless jean called the "Twiggy Dancer" is reminiscent of the jegging with it's super-slim fit and legging-like flexibility.  Unlike the jegging though, this jean is supposed to be more durable, or rather, as durable as a yoga pant. The yoga crowd will love the body-skimming fit to show of their lean muscular curves as well as the benefit of wearing something that's acceptable to go out in but feels like their regular yoga pants. 

Their available now on James Jeans' e-commerce site and come in basic washes with no fancy finishes or abrasions. 

 

RE/DUN REworks Vintage Jeans and it is AMAZING!

RE/DUN relaxed straight and straight skinny

 

 

This is the third time in a matter of days in which I've talked about recycled jeans. That leads me to believe there's a movement or trend emerging in which old jeans are repurposed and sold. But that's a topic for another day. In the meantime, the brand that started me on this line of thinking is Los Angeles-based denim brand RE/DUN.

RE/DUN sources jeans from "vintage rag houses" that have those particular qualities that can only be found in well worn jeans. The jeans are then taken apart and resewn into two popular silhouettes, a relaxed straight and a straight skinny that I must admit channel the most endearing qualities in a great pair of jeans -at least from a purely visual perspective. For example, take the straight skinny (above). Vintage jeans are 100% cotton denim and are able to give the skinny that perfectly faded, but durable look. Not only that, those white yarns that streak across rips and tears aren't always possible with too much stretch. Those authentically denim qualities make this high-waisted skinny unique in more ways than one. 

Because of the nature of the design process each version has a limited run, but there is a waitlist for each style sold. A quick check of their site and almost everything is waitlisted save a few styles. So if you're interested you'd better get on it now.
