How to Make a Beautiful Denim Quilt from Old Jeans

by

Did you know that the average American owns seven pairs of jeans? And odds are some of those jeans aren’t wearable. But if you just can’t bear to get rid of your jeans, you can turn them into a denim quilt.

Denim quilts are a fantastic way to reuse your old jeans, especially if you can’t wear them anymore. If you want to refresh your denim collection, you should make a denim quilt.

A NEW WAY TO QUILT?

If you’re a denim fanatic, you probably have a vast collection of jeans and other denim items in your closet. And some of those items might even be a bit too worn out to wear.

Luckily, you don’t have to purge your old jeans once you can’t wear them. Instead, you can turn them into a denim quilt.

That’s right. You can repurpose your old denim into a new blanket. Anyone can make a denim quilt, and it’s pretty easy to do.

Of course, you need sewing supplies, but it doesn’t take an expert to turn old blue jeans into a refurbished denim quilt.

WHAT IS A DENIM QUILT?

A quilt is a type of blanket that has different squares or other shapes sewn together to form a blanket. You can use almost any fabric to make a quilt. So, a denim quilt is a quilt where denim is one of the main fabrics.

A denim quilt is the perfect project for anyone who loves denim.

WHY SHOULD YOU USE DENIM FOR A QUILT?

If you’re a long-time jeans wearer, odds are you have at least one pair of jeans you never wear but refuse to part with. Like other clothes, jeans can hold a special place in our hearts. It can be hard to get rid of something with such fond memories.

Reusing denim for a quilt can keep those memories alive while freeing up space in your closet for new jeans.

Aside from the sentimental benefits, denim has some advantageous attributes. First, denim is durable and long-lasting. Also, denim doesn’t snag like some other fabrics.

Making a denim quilt from your old jeans can save you money on fabric, too. You may need to buy some new denim to fill out your quilt, but you don’t have to start from scratch.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

It’s the phrase we’ve all heard many times. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. If you have many pairs of old jeans, making a denim quilt is an excellent way to cut down on waste.

You don’t have to feel guilty about tossing your unwearable jeans, and you can make a new quilt in the process.

What’s more, making a denim quilt is surprisingly easy. You can do it at home, and you can find any tools you need at a craft store or online.

HANDY AT HOME

If you’re looking for a new hobby, quilting could be for you. But even if you just want to do a one-off craft project, making a denim quilt is great.

You don’t need a ton of supplies to get started, and you may even have most of the supplies already. All you need to make a denim quilt is denim, a sewing machine, a needle, and thread.

Of course, you can go a little crazy with other fabric and accessories. But a simple denim quilt is easy, even for beginners.

OLD JEANS, NEW QUILT

There are many reasons why you should consider using old jeans to make a denim quilt. First, as we already mentioned, you can save money on fabric.

Second, you probably know that denim can be very soft and comfortable. While it may not be the perfect fabric for a blanket, it’s close.

And like it or not, we make a lot of waste. Turning your old jeans into a new quilt can reduce your waste in a couple of ways. You won’t have to toss your jeans, and you also won’t have to buy extra fabric.

Another reason for using jeans to make a denim quilt is that you can make a quilt that’s unique to you. No one else has worn the same pair of jeans just like you have.

When making a denim quilt, you can even combine the denim with other fabrics. You can also cut your denim into different shapes to create a one-of-a-kind quilt.

HOW TO MAKE A DENIM QUILT

So you want to bring new life to your favorite pair of old jeans. They’re tearing at the seams, or maybe they just don’t fit you anymore.

Instead of tossing or donating your jeans, you decide to use them for a denim quilt. You need another blanket anyway, so it makes sense to kill two birds with one stone.

But you’ve never used denim to make a quilt before, and you need some guidance. Making a denim quilt is pretty straightforward, but there are some things you can do to make things easy on yourself.

Whether you’ve made quilts before or not, here are some tips and tricks for how to make a denim quilt.

PREP YOUR DENIM

It may sound obvious, but you don’t want to use denim that’s dirty or too worn down. Before you start making your denim quilt, you should wash the jeans and other denim items you plan to use.

Next, it’s time to cut up your old jeans. You can rip the seams apart, but that can be time-consuming and not necessarily worth it.

Instead, you can cut close to the seams to get as much of the fabric as you can. You can toss the seams or save them to add as decoration later.

After that, take a look at what you have. Make sure the denim isn’t too thin or stretched out. While thinner areas aren’t the end of the world, you want to be strategic with where you place them in the quilt.

Finally, you’re ready to cut the denim into squares or shapes for your quilt. You can make all of the pieces square. However, long strips can be easier to work with.

If you use squares, they have to be pretty small, but strips can be longer. And you can get a little creative with how you place the strips for a unique design.

YOUR OWN DESIGN

Once you prepare and cut your denim, it’s time to start designing your denim quilt. If you decide to go with squares, you can match them up.

Matching up the squares will help you see how your quilt will fit together and if there are any gaps.

If you don’t want to design your own quilt, you can find a pattern online.

GET CREATIVE

Now, you can get creative with how you place the squares of different washes. If you have different washes, you can make the squares go light to dark. Or you can mix and match.

The same is true for working with long strips.

At this point, you can also add in some squares of other fabrics. If you want a big quilt and don’t have much denim, adding other fabrics can help you reach your desired size. Other fabrics can also add some color or texture to your quilt.

REMEMBER THIS

Unless you’ve sewn denim before, you probably don’t know that denim requires some special care. You can’t just sew denim like you would any other fabric.

According to The Spruce Crafts, you should use a denim needle rather than a regular needle. You should also use either cotton thread or special jeans thread.

They also recommend against hand sewing a denim quilt. Denim’s thickness can make hand sewing more time-consuming and frustrating.

Instead, you should use a sewing machine. You can set the machine to sew about 10 to 12 stitches per inch. And if your sewing machine has a walking foot, that can help keep the quilt from moving around.

SEW, SEW, SEW

Now, it’s finally time to sew! So grab your sewing machine, needle, and thread. Get your quilt set up and ready to put together.

Make sure you have the time and space to work on your quilt. Depending on the size, you may need more space and time. If you don’t have much of either, you can sew the quilt in spurts. Just be sure to take a picture of your design to remind you where each patch will go.

THE FINISHING TOUCH

If you want to make the ends of your quilt look polished, consider binding them. Binding the quilt is where you sew strips around the edge of your quilt.

You should use new denim or other fabric for this because old denim usually isn’t long enough. But regardless of your fabric choice, binding your quilt can keep the ends from fraying. It will look like new for much longer.

JEANS, RENEWED

We’ve all had our favorite pair of jeans or a beloved jean jacket. And sadly, they’ve probably worn down. You may not even be able to wear your favorite jeans anymore.

But all hope isn’t lost for your prized denim. Instead of tossing your unusable jeans, turn them into a denim quilt.

You can bring new life to your old jeans, and you can still feel their softness against your legs or arms. Only this time, it’s because you’re under a quilt, rather than wearing your jeans.

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans? Would you ever turn them into a denim quilt? Let us know in the comments!

How Weirloom Measures Up Against 14 Other Jeans

by

Fit Guide: The Weirloom WL-001 vs. Iron Heart 634, Tellason Sheffield, Samurai 510, and a Dozen More

When I decided to make my own jeans and launch Weirloom, I knew one of the first questions people would ask was: how does the fit compare to other jeans?

The Weirloom WL-001 is my idea of a true straight-leg fit: a natural rise, a leg that doesn’t taper too much, and just the right amount of room in the top block.

But instead of just telling you how it fits, I’ve done what I’ve always done in retail: compare the jeans to something you already know.

The WL-001, uncuffed with my Wesco boots—this is a prototype without the back pocket signature

Maybe you love the Iron Heart 634 (like me), or you’re a fan of Tellason’s Sheffield, Samurai’s 510, Nudie’s Steady Eddie, Edwin’s Nashville, or any of the other jeans on the list below—which, by the way, are some of the jeans the first Weirloom customers have told me they wear and like.

This fit guide compares the measurements of the WL-001 to the following jeans: Iron Heart 634, Full Count 1108, Samurai 510, Japan Blue J401, Tellason Sheffield, Brave Star True Straight, Gustin Straight, Edwin Nashville, Nudie Steady Eddie, and not least Benzak’s B-02.

WL-001 Size Chart Now Available!

Weirloom was launched on a pre-order setup, and not all details were confirmed when I first announced the jeans. That included the size chart.

If you’ve been waiting to see what the jeans measure in other sizes than the prototyped size 31, thank you for your patience; the size chart is now available on the product page.

And if this is the first you hear of “Weirloom” and wonder what it’s all about (like where that name comes from and how to pronounced it), start with this blog about why I’ve started a brand, or this FAQ about it.

How I Measured the Jeans

Every pair in this guide—including my own—was measured flat using (more or less) consistent methods. For the comparisons, I’ve used size charts directly from the brand or a trusted retailer.

Here’s how I measure:

  • Waist: Aligned the front and back of the waistband, then pulled taut and measured straight across, and doubled the measurement
  • Front rise: From the crotch seam straight up to the top of the front waistband
  • Back rise: From the crotch seam up to the centre back of the waistband
  • Thigh: Straight across from the crotch seam (perpendicular to outseam)
  • Knee: Measured 35 cm down from crotch seam, then straight across
  • Hem: Straight across leg opening
  • Inseam: From crotch seam to leg opening, following the contour of the leg

Most brands and retailers measure this way too—although some measure the waist a little differently. Some, like Nudie and Gustin, use different fixed points for thigh or knee.

What about sizing and grading?

To compare apples to apples, I selected the size in each brand that most closely matches the waist measurement of the Weirloom WL-001 in size 31. That’s the fairest way to compare fit, I think.

And regarding grading, it’s important to remember that not all brands grade sizes the same. Some adjust rise, thigh, and hem more or less aggressively than others as you go up or down in size. Please check the measurements twice when you compare to your size.

Iron Heart 634

The 634 is Iron Heart’s flagship straight-leg fit—mid-to-high rise, a comfortable top block, and a clean leg from hip to hem. It’s one of the best-balanced fits in modern denim, and it’s no surprise it’s become a go-to for so many.

I’ve worn the 634 myself for years, in several different fabrics, and I’d probably call it my all-time favourite fit—well, apart from my Weirlooms 😉

Iron Heart 634 vs. Weirloom WL-001

The differences between the 634 and the WL-001 are subtle but noticeable. The WL-001 has a lower front rise and a flatter yoke, which shapes the seat a bit differently—giving it a slightly more modern silhouette. The thigh and knee of the WL-001 are a touch slimmer, but not dramatically so.

WL-001, size 31 IH-634, size 33 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 83.8 cm (33.0″) –0.2 cm (–0.1″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 27.9 cm (11.0″) +1.5 cm (+0.6″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 39.4 cm (15.5″) –0.6 cm (–0.2″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) 34.3 cm (13.5″) +1.3 cm (+0.5″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3″) 24.1 cm (9.5″) +0.6 cm (+0.2″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 21.3 cm (8.4″) +0.3 cm (+0.1″)

If you’ve worn the 634, you’ll feel right at home in my Weirloom jeans.

Japanese Sizing

Like most Japanese brands, the tagged sized of Iron Heart’s jeans generally corresponds to the actual waist measurement.

In plain language, they run small compared to jeans from most American and Europe brands (including Weirloom), and you need to size up.

A tagged size 33 in the 634 is more or less identical to a size 31 WL-001, which means you need to size down two sizes (or maybe just one) from the 634.

Tellason Sheffield

The Sheffield is Tellason’s core straight-leg jean—clean, durable, and proudly made in the USA. With a classic mid-rise, roomy thigh, and subtle taper, it’s long been a favourite among guys looking for a traditional fit that still works in a modern wardrobe.

Tellason Sheffield vs. Weirloom WL-001

Compared to the Weirloom WL-001, the Sheffield’s top block is a bit different, with a higher rise and slightly slimmer thigh. But the leg profile—especially from the knee down—is very similar.

WL-001, size 31 Sheffield, size 32 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 83.8 cm (33.0″) –0.2 cm (–0.1″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 28.6 cm (11.25″) +2.2 cm (+0.85″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 40.6 cm (16.0″) +0.6 cm (+0.3″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) 31.1 cm (12.25″) –1.9 cm (–0.75″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 20.3 cm (8.0″) –0.7 cm (–0.3″)

If you’ve worn the Sheffield but wanted a little more room and a lower rise, you’ll like the WL-001.

In terms of sizing, the Sheffield runs about one size smaller than the WL-001, which means you need to size down 1 size from the Sheffield to the WL-001.

Full Count 1108

The 1108 is one of Full Count’s best-known fits: a modern slim-straight jean with a slightly higher rise and a clean taper. It’s designed with balance in mind—offering a slim silhouette that still feels wearable and classic, especially when paired with the brand’s famously soft denim.

Full Count’s denim is famously soft and comfortable from the first wear, which makes the 1108 a real “daily driver” for many guys. Here, I’m comparing to the one-washed version of the 1108.

Full Count 1108 vs. Weirloom WL-001

The WL-001 has a roomier top block and a straighter leg overall. The rise on the 1108 is a little higher, and the taper below the knee is more noticeable.

On paper, the thigh appears significantly slimmer—but that’s partly because Full Count measures the thigh 40 cm down the leg (rather than straight from the crotch seam like I do for Weirloom). This measurement method leads to a smaller number, even if the actual feel isn’t quite as extreme.

WL-001, size 31 FC 1108, size 33 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 84.0 cm (33.1″) ±0.0 cm (±0.0″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 28.5 cm (11.2″) +2.1 cm (+0.8″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 39.5 cm (15.6″) –0.5 cm (–0.2″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) *30.5 cm (12.0″) –2.5 cm (–1.0″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3″) 22.0 cm (8.7″) –1.5 cm (–0.6″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 20.0 cm (7.9″) –1.0 cm (–0.4″)

*Thigh measured 40 cm down from crotch on Full Count.

If you’ve worn the 1108 and liked the fit, but wanted a slightly lower front rise and a straighter leg, the WL-001 might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Full Count size the Japanese way, where the waist measurement equals the tagged size (more or less). That means you need to size down two sizes from the 1108 to the WL-001.

EDWIN NASHVILLE

The Nashville is Edwin’s classic straight fit—mid-rise, roomy without being baggy, and traditionally cut through the leg. It’s Edwin Europe’s last remaining fit from the original Japanese line.

I’ve worn the Nashville myself in the brand’s signature 14 oz. selvedge denim—those jeans are now retired as my painting pants. It’s a great, dependable fit with a bit of a rockabilly vibe, at least here in Scandinavia.

Image of the Nashvilles is from Pinkomo

Edwin Nashville vs. Weirloom WL-001

The Nashville is sized right in-between the WL-001. The jeans I have are a size 30—but I could also fit a 31 for a more casual look, I guess.

In a size 30, the Nashville comes out a little slimmer than the size 31 WL-001. The thigh, knee, and back rise are all tighter than the WL-001, which makes the fit feel more … traditional. The WL-001 keeps a more modern seat and a balanced straight leg, while the Nashville leans vintage in its overall silhouette.

WL-001, size 31 Nashville, size 30 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 82.8 cm (32.6″) –1.2 cm (–0.5″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 26.0 cm (10.2″) –0.4 cm (–0.2″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 37.8 cm (14.9″) –2.2 cm (–0.9″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) 31.3 cm (12.3″) –1.7 cm (–0.7″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3″) 22.7 cm (8.9″) –0.8 cm (–0.3″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 21.1 cm (8.3″) +0.1 cm (±0.0″)

If you’ve worn the Nashville and liked its balance of room and classic shape, the WL-001 will feel like a natural progression—with a slightly cleaner seat and a modern take on the same tried-and-true straight silhouette.

The waist on the Nashville runs 3 inches larger than the tagged size (give or take), so you’ll need to size up one to the WL-001

BENZAK B-02

The B-02 is Benzak’s answer to a straight fit with a modern European touch—clean, unfussy, and built to flatter without restricting.

With a mid-to-high rise and a strong top block, it’s a cut to give you room where you need it while keeping things streamlined throughout the leg.

I’ve known and deeply respected Lennaert—the founder of Benzak—since he launched the brand back in 2013. Over a decade later, I’m following in his footsteps by launching my own jeans on a pre-order model. He’s been, and continues to be, a true inspiration to me.

Benzak B-02 vs. Weirloom WL-001

Side by side, the B-02 is a touch more structured up top and slightly slimmer through the leg. The rise is a little higher, and the taper from the knee down is more noticeable. The WL-001 keeps things more roomy and relaxed throughout the lower leg, giving it a slightly more balanced profile overall.

WL-001, size 31 BDD B-02, size 31 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1”) 85.0 cm (33.5”) +1.0 cm (+0.4”)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4”) 29.5 cm (11.6”) +3.1 cm (+1.2”)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7”) 40.0 cm (15.7”) 0.0 cm (±0.0”)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0”) 32.0 cm (12.6”) –1.0 cm (–0.4”)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3”) 22.0 cm (8.7”) –1.5 cm (–0.6”)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3”) 20.5 cm (8.1”) –0.5 cm (–0.2”)

If you’ve worn the B-02 before and liked its straightforward top block but want something with less taper through the leg, the WL-001 could be a smart next step.

The waist on both jeans runs about two inches larger than the tagged size (give or take)—whatever size you wear in the B-02, you’ll likely want the same in my jeans.

SAMURAI S510XX

The S510XX is one of Samurai’s most traditional fits—cut with a high rise, wide leg, and a slightly tapered but straight-feeling silhouette. It’s the kind of cut that pairs naturally with heavy-duty denim, and in the 21 oz. unsanforised version, it really leans into that rugged heritage appeal.

It’s a cut that’s evolved very little over the years, and for good reason: it’s built for movement, durability, and old-school denimheads who like their jeans full of character and comfort.

Samurai S510XX vs. Weirloom WL-001

Despite its reputation as a bold, traditional fit, the S510XX isn’t actually that far off from the WL-001. The rise is a little higher, and the hem slightly wider, but the differences in waist, back rise, and even the thigh are relatively modest.

WL-001, size 31 S510, size 33 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1”) 83.5 cm (32.9″) –0.5 cm (–0.2″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4”) 28.2 cm (11.1″) +1.8 cm (+0.7″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7”) 39.4 cm (15.5″) –0.6 cm (–0.2″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0”) 31.9 cm (12.6″) –1.1 cm (–0.4″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3”) 23.0 cm (9.1″) –0.5 cm (–0.2″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3”) 21.6 cm (8.5″) +0.6 cm (+0.2″)

The WL-001 feels a bit more streamlined through the seat and thigh, with a more modern shape overall—but if you’re used to the S510XX, the transition will feel natural.

The 510 runs small and follows traditional Japanese sizing—so you’ll likely need to size down two to get the right size in the WL-001.

JAPAN BLUE J401

The J401 is part of Japan Blue’s “Circle” line—developed with western body types in mind to create a more tailored fit, with extra attention paid to the shape of the seat and thigh.

This is a modern straight cut with some quirks: a high front rise, sculpted hip, and a bit more taper than you might expect in the lower leg.

Japan Blue J401 vs. Weirloom WL-001

Both jeans aim for a straight-leg silhouette, but the J401 is more structured in the seat and rise. It sits higher at the front and back, and the upper block feels tighter through the hips.

On paper, the thigh and knee look almost identical—but Japan Blue measures the thigh further down the leg, which may understate the actual width at the top block. In practice, the J401 feels more structured through the hips.

It’s also worth noting that the J401 has a zip fly—the WL-001 (and all other jeans on the list) have a button fly.

WL-001, size 31 JB J401, size 32 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1”) 86.0 cm (33.9”) +2.0 cm (+0.8”)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4”) 28.5 cm (11.2”) +2.1 cm (+0.8”)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7”) 39.0 cm (15.4”) –1.0 cm (–0.4”)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0”) 33.0 cm (13.0”) ±0.0 cm (±0.0”)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3”) 24.0 cm (9.4”) +0.5 cm (+0.1”)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3”) 21.0 cm (8.3”) ±0.0 cm (±0.0”)

This is a solid comparison if you’re used to Japanese straights but want something that wears more balanced and neutral—without veering into vintage or workwear territory.

The J401 runs small so you’ll likely need to size down one to get the right fit in the WL-001.

NUDIE STEADY EDDIE

The Steady Eddie II is one of Nudie’s most popular fits—a relaxed, tapered jean with a clear Scandinavian touch. It’s roomy in the top block, offers a slightly higher rise than average, and tapers steadily from the knee down.

I wore Nudie jeans for years—my own pair of Average Joes (in the same Dry Selvage denim used here) now live in the archive at the Jeans School in Amsterdam. That fabric taught me the value of soaking unsanforised denim before wear.

Nudie Steady Eddie vs. Weirloom WL-001

The top half of these jeans actually lines up more closely than you might expect: the rise and thigh are only slightly larger on the Steady Eddie II.

But the Steady Eddie fit quickly tapers from the knee down, with a significantly slimmer hem and a narrower silhouette through the lower leg compared to the WL-001.

WL-001, size 31 Steady Eddie, size 30 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1”) 84.0 cm (33.1”) ±0.0 cm (±0.0”)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4”) 27.8 cm (10.9”) +1.4 cm (+0.5”)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7”) 39.6 cm (15.6”) –0.4 cm (–0.1”)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0”) 31.7 cm (12.5”) –1.3 cm (–0.5”)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3”) 20.7 cm (8.1”) –2.8 cm (–1.1”)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3”) 17.6 cm (6.9”) –3.4 cm (–1.4”)
Inseam 82.0 cm (32.3”) 81.2 cm (32.0”) –0.8 cm (–0.3”)

If you want something with a similarly comfortable top block but a more traditional straight leg, the Weirloom WL-001 is the fit for you.

The Steady Eddie runs large in the waist—about three inches above the tag size—so you’ll likely need to size up one when moving to the WL-001.

BRAVE STAR TRUE STRAIGHT

The True Straight is Brave Star’s take on an American heritage straight fit—cut with a higher rise, balanced leg, and a classic seat that leans into the workwear roots of denim. It’s a clean and unfussy fit that feels timeless, not trendy.

I’ve followed Brave Star since they started, and the True Straight has always struck me as their strongest and most versatile fit. It’s slightly roomier than a modern slim-straight but much more wearable than most relaxed fits. It’s designed to be lived in, and it shows.

Brave Star True Straight vs. Weirloom WL-001

The two fits line up closely. Both offer a classic straight silhouette with a mid-to-high rise and just a touch of taper. The Brave Star fit has a bit more room in the thigh and a slightly higher rise, but otherwise, the two are remarkably aligned.

WL-001, size 31 True Straight (size 31) Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 85.1 cm (33.5″) +1.1 cm (+0.4″)

If you’re used to the True Straight, the WL-001 will feel very familiar—just a little more modern through the seat and top block.

The Brave Star waist runs roughly two inches larger than the tag (just like the WL-001), so you’ll want the same size in both jeans.

PRE-ORDER THE WL-001

GUSTIN STRAIGHT

The Straight is Gustin’s more modern straight-leg option—slightly slimmer than their Vintage Straight, but still cut with enough room through the top block and thigh to feel relaxed.

Gustin Straight vs. Weirloom WL-001

The WL-001 and the Straight from Gustin line up closely in the thigh and rise, but the Gustin fit tapers a bit through the leg and finishes with a slightly smaller hem.

WL-001, size 31 Straight (size 32) Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 83.8 cm (33.0″) –0.2 cm (–0.1″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 27.0 cm (10.6″) +0.6 cm (+0.2″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 38.5 cm (15.2″) –1.5 cm (–0.6″)

Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 20.3 cm (8.0″) –0.7 cm (–0.3″)

Gustin size their jeans a little smaller than Weirlooms, so you’ll need to size down one from the Gustin Straight to the WL-001.

ONI 622

The 622 is one of Oni’s more modern tapered fits—mid-rise, narrow through the knee, and cut with a leaner silhouette than their more traditional cuts.

Oni 622 vs. Weirloom WL-001

Compared to the WL-001, the 622 is trimmer throughout. The thigh and hem are both noticeably narrower, and there’s a more aggressive taper through the leg. The front rise is quite similar, though the seat sits a bit closer.

WL-001, size 31 Oni 622 (size 33) Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 85.0 cm (33.5″) +1.0 cm (+0.4″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 27.0 cm (10.6″) +0.6 cm (+0.2″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 38.6 cm (15.2″) –1.4 cm (–0.5″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) 31.0 cm (12.2″) –2.0 cm (–0.8″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3″) 21.9 cm (8.6″) –1.6 cm (–0.6″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 18.5 cm (7.3″) –2.5 cm (–1.0″)

The 622 feels slimmer and sharper overall, while the WL-001 keeps a more balanced straight-leg silhouette.

Oni used Japanese sizing, which means the waist pretty much measures the tagged in incesh—and that means you need to size down two from the 622 to the WL-001.

ORSLOW 105

The 105 is orSlow’s most traditional fit, based closely on the 1960s Levi’s 501. It has a high rise, a slightly curved top block, and a roomy straight leg.

orSlow 105 vs. Weirloom WL-001

The 105 has a significantly higher rise than the WL-001, with a seat that scoops deeper and a looser fit through the top block.

The thigh is a bit wider, but the hem is nearly identical, giving the two jeans a surprisingly similar silhouette from the knee down.

WL-001, size 31 orSlow 105 (3/L) Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 85.0 cm (33.5″) +1.0 cm (+0.4″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 29.2 cm (11.5″) +2.8 cm (+1.1″)

Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 21.5 cm (8.5″) +0.5 cm (+0.2″)

The WL-001 offers a more modern feel through the seat and rise—and orSlow uses a different sizing system.

LVC 1947 501 (Made in Japan)

The 1947 501 reproduction from Levi’s Vintage Clothing is a mid-century classic: higher rise, narrower seat, and a straight leg.

The ‘Made in Japan’ version is cut and sewn in Kojima, with high attention to detail and a distinctly rigid fit that breaks in over time.

LVC 1947 501 vs. Weirloom WL-001

The 1947 501 is narrower everywhere. The thigh and top block fit closer, the front rise is slightly higher, and the taper from knee to hem is more pronounced.

Compared to the WL-001, it feels more vintage and … restrictive—especially before breaking in. The WL-001 offers a more contemporary and wearable straight fit.

WL-001, size 31 1947 501, size 34* Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 85.0 cm (33.5″) +1.0 cm (+0.4″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 28.2 cm (11.1″) +1.8 cm (+0.7″)
Back Rise 40.0 cm (15.7″) 38.7 cm (15.2″) –1.3 cm (–0.5″)
Thigh 33.0 cm (13.0″) 32.3 cm (12.7″) –0.7 cm (–0.3″)
Knee 23.5 cm (9.3″) 21.0 cm (8.3″) –2.5 cm (–1.0″)
Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 20.0 cm (7.9″) –1.0 cm (–0.4″)

*Measurements are estimated post-shrinkage.

The Japanese-made 1947 501 is unsanforized and will shrink as much as 10%. Plus, it runs small, so you need to size down at least two probably three sizes for the WL-001.

Naked & Famous TRUE GUY

Naked & Famous’s True Guy fit is their relaxed straight cut—high rise, generous seat, and a big 1950s-style top block. It’s one of their most comfort-focused silhouettes, typically paired with their signature heavyweight or novelty denim.

N&F True Guy vs. Weirloom WL-001

The True Guy has a significantly higher rise and a fuller seat. It feels almost oversized compared to the WL-001, especially above the knee. The hem is also slightly wider, giving it a blockier silhouette.

WL-001, size 31 True Guy, size 31 Difference
Waist 84.0 cm (33.1″) 85.0 cm (33.5″) +1.0 cm (+0.4″)
Front Rise 26.4 cm (10.4″) 30.5 cm (12.0″) +4.1 cm (+1.6″)

Hem 21.0 cm (8.3″) 22.3 cm (8.8″) +1.3 cm (+0.5″)

The WL-001 is more balanced top-to-bottom, with a modern seat and just the right amount of ease.

The True Guy is sized similarly to the WL-001, so you probably need the same size.

Diesel – F/W 2025 “Your Life In D”

Diesel welcomes you to the human race. You’ve got one life to live.

If you’re lucky, it will go something like this: first, you’re born. You’re so cute. Everyone loves you. It’s fun. You grow up. You go to school. You make friends. It’s more fun. You go to college. Party. There’s romance, sex and love. Life’s a beach. Then it’s not. It’s not all fun, but it is all D. From the cradle to the grave and beyond. Diesel denim is always there for you.

This is Your Life in D, the Diesel F/W25 denim campaign, is dedicated to the brand’s iconic denim during every stage of existence. The latest visual collaboration between creative director Glenn Martens and art director Christopher Simmonds tells the story of a single life lived in Diesel denim — from birth to adolescence to adulthood to death and the afterlife — with the signature humor, irony and irreverence that has come to define Martens’s and Simmonds’s partnership. Shot by photographer Eammon Zeel Freel, the images capture the fixed point of view of an individual as they go through life’s journey clad in Diesel denim.

An infant wearing drawstring jeans peers out from his crib onto a diverse cast of intergenerational family and friends cooing at him in the Fluid Denim collection.

The all-denim party continues at the beach, where it’s all about summer denim, crisscrossed wrap jersey tops and the new high-waisted D-Sent jeans. Plus, D-Lake and D-Havana shoes.

Of course, there’s no such thing as a smooth ride. A motorcycle accident renders our protagonist as denim roadkill. His Oval D belt is intact but his life is at stake as concerned onlookers and a sexy nurse tend to him with their Double D bags and D-Slante shoes. Sadly, they couldn’t save him. But he looks on-point in the slim fit D-Vyl jeans as mourners wearing Dirty Wash Fluid Denim gather around the casket at his wake. He must’ve done something right during his time on earth, because otherworldly beings bearing light wash denim and Double D await him in the sweet hereafter.

To personalize life’s precious moments, the ups and downs, there are accessories. New silver jewelry includes rings and necklaces with giant gems, Metamorph bracelets and layered necklaces. Watches range from the Closer to the D-Sruptor and the Streamline. Optical and sunglasses feature oval and industrial frames with holepunch details.

S/S 2025 – Hello Again, Low-Rise Jeans!

by

low-rise jeans

​Low-rise jeans are making a notable comeback this spring and summer, reimagined with modern silhouettes and styling.

This resurgence blends early 2000s nostalgia with contemporary fashion sensibilities, offering a fresh take on a once-controversial trend. And bringing back the The Y2K era, a cultural phenomenon of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.

One of the other attractions are the rather more relaxed fits. Unlike the ultra-tight low-rise jeans of the past seasons, 2025’s versions feature looser, more comfortable fits. This shift gives us a more inclusive and wearable approach. We are talking about styling versatility.

Summing it up, this season’s low-rise jeans give us a fresh take on a nostalgic trend. Blending comfort with style. Read on for some of our styling tips:

Balance Proportions:

Pair low-rise jeans with cropped tops or fitted shirts to balance the relaxed fit of the jeans.​ Although some of us like to really go all the way and oversize all!

Layer Up:

Add oversized jackets or blazers for a chic, layered look that adds depth to your outfit.​ Or use a cropped sweatshirt over a long and baggy shirt or tee.

Footwear And Accessories:

Go for chunky sneakers or boots to complement the baggy silhouette of the jeans. ​Use belts, statement bags, or layered jewelry to add a personal touch to your ensemble.​

Scroll down to find some great options for this season’s low-rise jeans available to purchase right now.

So, What’s The Thing With Over-Long Jeans?

by

fashion

If you’ve checked out our lookbooks and our denim trend previews, then one thing you’ll have noticed for sure. Its all about over- and uber-long jeans.

jeans
LU’U DAN

Ever wonder about the why? Does it really make sense? Is it all about making a fashion statement? Or is it because you’re all about anti-fit. The feeling of “I couldn’t care less”? And especially when you add baggy to over-long, you feel like “so what!”?

baggy jeans
PacSun

We were trying to discovery the “mystery” of this fashion trend that has been a thing for a few season and isn’t going anywhere soon. And FYI – this goes for men’s as well as fo women’s jeans.

Overlong jeans with hems pooling around the ankles or even trailing on the ground are absolutely trending right now for a few clear reasons:

Relaxed, Effortless Vibe
They signal a laid-back, “I didn’t try too hard” attitude that resonates with current fashion’s shift away from sharp, tight silhouettes. After years of cropped and slim fits, the pendulum is swinging toward oversized, slouchy proportions.

Y2K & ’90s Nostalgia
Fashion is deep into a cycle of revisiting late ’90s and early 2000s styles. Think JNCOs, skaters, and grunge — all of which embraced extra-long, baggy pants that puddled over chunky sneakers.

Proportional Play
Overlong jeans balance out the increasingly popular “big on big” styling — pairing them with oversized blazers, boxy tops, or chunky shoes creates striking proportions that feel contemporary and intentional.

Influence of Luxury Labels
Brands like The Row, Balenciaga, and Vetements have been championing exaggerated lengths in their tailored trousers and denim for several seasons. This trickled down into denim staples, especially through brands like Toteme, Khaite, and SLVRLAKE.

Footwear-Friendly
Overlong jeans complement bulky, statement footwear like platform boots, sneakers, or loafers — letting the jeans drape and showcase the shoe subtly.

In short: it’s part nostalgia, part rebellion against clean and fitted looks, and part alignment with today’s oversized aesthetic.

Did we get you into the over-long preferably baggy mood? No problem, below you can find some of our team’s favorite options and where to buy.

Got Questions About My Brand, Weirloom? This FAQ Might Help

by

Answers to (Some of) the Questions I’ve Got About Weirloom—That You Might Have Too

Pre-orders are open on weirloom.com, people are actually buying these jeans … and questions are starting to come in.

Some are expected—about sizing, shipping, and returns. Others are more specific. If one person’s asking, chances are others are wondering too.

So I’ve pulled together a list of the most important questions I’ve been getting—and answered them as clearly and honestly as I can.

FAQS ABOUT THE JEANS

Why is the price shown as €250 €180?

That’s a fair question. And it’s not meant as a gimmicky discount.

€250 is what jeans of this quality and construction would typically retail for. Made in Europe from premium Italian denim, with the kind of details you normally only see on enthusiast-level jeans. That’s the reference point.

But because Weirloom works differently—pre-order only, small batch, no middlemen—I can offer them for €180 instead.

The reason I show both prices is simply that I don’t know a better, clearer way to communicate that difference. This setup is the easiest way I can show you what they’d normally cost—and what you’ll actually pay.

Which size should I get?

You don’t need to pick a size when you pre-order. Once you add the jeans to the cart, you’ll see it says “Pick your size later.”

That’s because the full size range and the grading of each size haven’t been finalised yet. Only size 31 has been prototyped. And until the fit is 100% confirmed, it doesn’t make sense to share measurements for other sizes.

I’ve added full measurements for that prototype to the product page. So if you want to get a sense of how they’ll fit, I recommend checking those out.

Once everything is locked in, I’ll reach out to everyone who’s pre-ordered to help choose the right size—and, of course, I’ll share size guidance and detailed measurements charts on the product page.. 

You’ll probably need to measure a pair of jeans you already own and compare that to the final sizing chart I’ll send. I’ll guide you through the process personally to make sure you get the best possible fit.

Also, just to clarify: the sizing is based on Western brands—not Japanese. I’ve done that to make it easier and more intuitive for most people to find their size.

How heavy is the fabric? Are they stiff?

The denim is 14.25 oz., which puts it right in that sweet spot—heavy enough to feel substantial, but not so heavy that they’re a pain to wear.

And no, they’re not that stiff. The jeans are washed once after sewing, so breaking them in is easy. You’ll still get beautiful fades over time, but with comfort from day one.

So will they fade?

Yes. You’ll absolutely get fades.

Even though the jeans are one-washed to soften them up, they’re made from a denim that fades beautifully with wear.

The denim is from Candiani in Italy, dyed using their proprietary Indigo Juice method. It’s a modern take on slasher dyeing that puts more of the indigo on the surface of the yarn—which means it fades faster and with more contrast.

Plus, the denim has some visible texture and slubbiness, which helps create the kind of fades we denimheads look for.

FAQS ABOUT THE PRE-ORDER

Will my card be charged right away?

No. When you place a pre-order, your card won’t be charged—and the money won’t be held or reserved either.

You’ll enter your payment details to complete the pre-order, but the charge won’t go through until the jeans are ready to ship. That’s when I’ll manually confirm and collect the payment. Until then, it just sits as a pending order on my end.

In short: no money leaves your account until the jeans are on their way to you.

Can I cancel my pre-order before the jeans ship?

That’s no problem at all.

If you decide to cancel your pre-order before the jeans ship, you can do so easily and for free. Just find the confirmation email you received from Purple Dot (the system handling the pre-orders) and click the cancel link. That’s it. No payment, no hassle, no hard feelings.

You’ll also hear from me directly before the jeans are ready to ship—so you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, get sizing help, or change your mind if needed.

When will the jeans ship?

If everything goes according to plan, the jeans will ship by the end of June. That’s the schedule confirmed by my production partner in Portugal, and we’re working hard to keep it on track.

I’ll keep all pre-order customers updated along the way.

Can I return the jeans if I change my mind after they ship?

Yes. Just like any online purchase, you’re entitled to return the jeans within 14 days of receiving them. That’s not just a policy—it’s the law under Danish e-commerce regulations.

These aren’t made-to-measure or customised jeans. They’re made in standard sizes, so even though they’re produced on a pre-order basis, they’re still eligible for returns. No questions asked (though I’d love your feedback if you decided to return them).

What if they don’t fit? Can I exchange to another size?

Fit is a big deal. And even though I’ll help guide you the best I can to pick the right size before the jeans ship, there’s always a chance you’ll need to exchange them for another size.

That’s why I’m holding back a few pairs from the initial 100—to make sure I can handle size swaps. There might not be every size available in every quantity, but I’ll do everything I can to make sure you end up with the right fit.

Are there really only 100 pairs?

Yes. This isn’t a marketing gimmick.

One hundred is the minimum order quantity my Portuguese manufacturer was willing to produce—and it’s generous, honestly. Most factories require much larger runs, but they believe in the idea and wanted to support the launch.

There’s no secret stash waiting in the wings. I’ve already bought the denim, and it’s already at the factory in Portugal. Once those 100 pairs are spoken for, that’s it for this first edition.

Will there be more later?

Yes. This is just the beginning. I’m not planning to make only 100 pairs and call it a day—this is the first step in what I hope will grow into something lasting.

That said, this first batch is a rare opportunity. I was lucky that the denim I wanted was available in just the right amount for 100 pairs. Future production will require me to order enough fabric for at least 500, which means the next pre-order will likely be bigger. Still limited—but not quite this exclusive.

So yes, more will come. But there will only ever be one First Edition 😉

When is the order deadline?

Soon. To keep things on schedule for that end-of-June delivery, I need to close the order window before the end of May.

And just to be clear: there are only 100 pairs (included the ones I’m holding back for size swaps). Once those are spoken for, that’s it for this batch. So if you want to secure a pair from the very first Weirloom run, now’s the time.

If any of these answers helped you feel more confident about Weirloom—or if they just made you more curious—you can see the jeans and pre-order your pair below.
