Description

Drawing inspiration from vintage workwear, Jenny is a modern and refined interpretation of classic overalls and wide-leg trousers. These ultra-high-rise bottoms feature sleek and functional details and a comfortable fit, making them ideal for all-day wear.

Craft a more sophisticated version of dungarees with our well-proportioned bib and optional utility pocket, or opt to omit the bib entirely and create a pair of wide-legged cropped pants, full-length pants, or shorts. A range of optional details are available, including mix-and-match options for the curved slash front pockets, faux fly front, single or double zipper waistband, and rounded back patch pockets. To further personalize your creation, add high-contrast topstitching for a bold statement, or take a minimalist approach for a clean and elegant finish.

Recommended fabric

Bottom-weight woven fabrics such as denim, twill, canvas, gabardine, medium weight linen, jacquard and brocade

Pockets: Medium-weight woven fabric such as shirting, chambray or quilting cotton
