The return of Baggy and Loose Fit
Wide-fitting, loose-fitting jeans with a slightly low waist and a loose fit over the shoes are a staple silhouette for 2026. The cut features a straight wide crotch seam and increased seat depth.
Japanese selvedge denim and heavyweight fabrics (13 to 16 oz)
The premium segment is dominated by 13-16 oz (oz) denim woven on old-style shuttle looms with a colored Selvedge edge.
Trucker Jacket denim jacket: anatomy of the cut
The jackets have accented yokes, deep chest pockets with figured flaps and vertical raised seams, sewn with durable contrasting threads in a red or tobacco shade.
Technological features: sewing seam and rivets
The inner crotch seams and the middle seam of the seat are made with a 2-needle lock stitch (French denim lock seam), and the corners of the pockets are reinforced with solid copper rivets.
Tailor's advice
When sewing heavy denim jeans, use Jeans needles No. 100–110 and a special heavy-duty stitching thread (No. 30 or No. 36). And our ready-made patterns will help you sew the perfect jeans.
