Canvas Roper Jean

I have her patchwork jeans from a couple of years ago, and I live in them. They're a relaxed fit, durable for work and get better with age.

Thoughtfully made, environmentally conscious, and built to last. They're designed in Maine and produced in small batches in LA, using techniques that most brands abandoned for cheaper alternatives. I appreciate their commitment to natural dyes. Their pre-order model means they're only making what people actually want, eliminating the waste that's endemic to fashion, while their small-drop releases let them work at their pace instead of having to follow seasonal collections. These aren't just clothes - they're objects that tell the story of what happens when makers choose to do things the right way, even when it's harder.
