Vintage slim-fit worn grey denim

J. Crew $118.00 - item 96902

The must-have denim for fall is more than a "non-blue jean"—it's made with very high-quality cotton denim that takes color extra-well, and it's just what you need for a wardrobe update. Signature red-stitch detail on waistband. Zip fly. Traditional 5-pocket styling, with reinforced back pockets. Import. Machine wash. Slimmer fit. Sits below waist, slim through hip and thigh, with a narrow leg.

Repaired premium officer's chino

J. Crew $175.00 - item 98994

Not just a collector's item—it's a hand-distressed, hand-mended, limited-edition version of our exclusive premium officer's chino. Also known as the chino for the guy who wears jeans, it's the most authentic chino there is, based on the original stadard-issue No.55 T-10000 officer's surplus chino from the early 1930s. It's made with imported, vintage-style cotton slub twill and finished with genuine, nearly unbreakable, military-grade melamine buttons. We gave it our 10-year wash—over five hours of heavy washing and hand finishing—to give it the distressed look and feel of its vintage inspiration. Details include split-back trouser construction, a classic officer's "pocket watch" pocket and service-inspired internal screen prints and labeling. Button fly. A collector's item. Import. Machine wash. Available in select stores. Regular fit. Sits on hips, straight through hip and thigh, with a straight leg.
