Dior Men Spring 2027 – Lookbook
Dior Men Spring 2027 is a major runway reference for the return of skinny jeans. But with a deliberately undone, rebellious twist.
Yes, Dior belongs firmly in the slim-jean revival camp. But Jonathan Anderson’s take is more eclectic: slim-fitting jeans coexist with distressed finishes, pastel colors, and “juxtaposition” styling. Most of the distressed jeans are paired with refined and elegant-looking jackets or shirts. Lots of layers,
Takeaway from Dior’s Spring 2027 collection:
The new skinny jean: Slim, elongated, and rock-inspired – not simply a return to plain stretch skinnies.
Distressed denim meets tailoring: Ripped jeans look intentional when contrasted with refined jackets and formal accessories.
Statement denim: Snake-print and metallic finishes push jeans into fashion and evening-wear territory.
You can shop for Dior Men at Saks Fifth Avenue and at Neiman Marcus.

Why These San Francisco Denim Jackets Skip Selvedge
This is a sponsored story, one of our paid services. We maintain full editorial independence. Read more here.
Tellason Stock: American-Made Raw Denim Jackets Under $200
Raw denim jackets made in San Francisco for less than $200 aren’t exactly common. Tellason has two of them: the Stock Denim Jacket at $195 and the Stock Coverall at $189.
The selvedge counterparts start at $285, yet the Stock versions are made in the same city, at the same factory, using the same patterns and sewing techniques. The difference is all in the denim.
This article looks at why Tellason created Stock in the first place, how the non-selvedge fabric changes the economics, what actually changes in the finished jacket, and why that might make Stock the better buy for some readers.
Why Tellason Stock Exists
Tellason launched Stock in 2017 for two reasons:
The first was to make a smaller, more accessible range for guys who were new to raw denim, didn’t care all much about exactly how the fabric was made, or simply could not justify selvedge pricing.
The second was more specific: Pete Searson and Tony Patella wanted to buy more fabric from Cone Mills White Oak and send more business through the mill.
The obvious way to cut costs would have been to change where the garments were made. Tony says that option never entered the discussion. Tellason wanted to support the San Francisco factory that had made its jeans since day one just as deliberately as it wanted to support Cone.
So the thing they changed was the denim.
Instead of the narrow shuttle-loomed selvedge used in the main line, Stock used 14 oz. non-selvedge Cone denim woven on modern looms. The range stayed deliberately tight: two jean fits and two jackets.
Selvedge vs. Non-Selvedge
Selvedge denim is woven on narrow shuttle looms. As the shuttle carries the weft yarn back and forth, the fabric forms a self-finished edge. That edge is where the name comes from.
Modern denim looms work differently. They weave much wider rolls and produce fabric faster, but without that self-finished edge.
That difference matters commercially because fabric width and weaving speed both affect cost. It does not, by itself, tell you whether the denim is good.
Tellason is a particularly useful example because both fabrics are substantial raw denims woven from double ring-spun yarns. The current Stock denim is still a 14 oz. Cone fabric, now woven at Cone’s plant in Mexico. Tony says the model number and recipe remained the same when production moved away from White Oak, and he actually prefers the current Mexican version.
The current Stock fabric has a 65-inch cuttable width. According to Tony, the yield is more than twice as efficient as cutting the same styles from Tellason’s narrower selvedge denim.
That explains a lot of the price gap. The Stock Denim Jacket is $195 versus $298 for the 14.75 oz. Kaihara version. The Stock Coverall is $189 compared to $285 in the comparable selvedge denim.
Tony says all of that difference comes from the denim. The cut-and-sew price is the same.
What Actually Changes in the Jacket
The difference between the mainline and Stock is actually less than the price gap might suggest.
Tony confirms that the Stock jackets use the same fits and sewing techniques as their selvedge counterparts. The differences beyond the denim are in the packaging, thread colour and hardware colour.
The Stock fabric does feel different. Tony describes it as less rigid than Tellason’s 14.75 oz. and 16.5 oz. Kaihara selvedges, with a hand closer to the 12.5 oz. denim. It breaks in more easily, but still develops strong fades with wear.
That distinction matters because non-selvedge is not a quality category. Most mass-market jeans are made from non-selvedge denim, but that does not mean every non-selvedge fabric belongs in the same bucket.
I like selvedge. I have spent nearly two decades selling it, writing about it, and wearing it. But the edge itself has never been the thing that makes a pair of jeans or a jacket good. Yarn, weave, dyeing, finishing, cut and sewing all matter too.
Two Jackets (and Two Jeans), Same Logic
The Stock Denim Jacket
This is Tellason’s Type III-derived trucker shape, with the familiar chest flap pockets plus side hand-warmer pockets and two large interior pockets.
At $195, it gives you the same San Francisco-made pattern and sewing approach as the $298 14.75 oz. selvedge version, but in the easier-breaking 14 oz. Cone denim.
The Stock Coverall
The Coverall is the more distinctly Tellason option. Its roots go back to a 2011 collaboration with Jay Alaimo and the Brooklyn shop Smith & Butler, built around a chore-coat silhouette and an unusually useful pocket layout.
That includes multiple exterior utility pockets, a small interior pocket and the deep front pocket that has become one of the design’s signatures.
The Stock version costs $189. The comparable 14.75 oz. selvedge Coverall is $285. Again, the pattern and sewing logic stay the same while the denim changes.
You Can Get Stock Jeans Too
Stock isn’t just a jacket story. The range also includes two jeans—the Straight Leg and Slim Tapered—built around the same 14 oz. Cone denim and the same basic proposition: raw denim, San Francisco cut-and-sew and a lower fabric cost than the selvedge line.
That matters because it shows Stock is not a one-off outerwear experiment. It is a deliberately small system: two jean fits, two jackets, one fabric choice doing a very specific job.
What Are You Paying For?
Tellason Stock makes the selvedge question unusually easy to isolate.
You are not paying less because the jackets are sewn somewhere else. You are not getting a simplified pattern. According to Tony, the production cost of cutting and sewing is unchanged.
You are paying less because wider modern-loom denim is cheaper for Tellason to buy and more efficient to cut.
That does not make selvedge pointless. The Kaihara fabrics bring their own feel, structure, fading characteristics and the narrow shuttle-loom construction that many of us genuinely enjoy. But Tellason Stock shows why those things should be separated from the basic question of whether a denim jacket is well made.
Tony sees Stock as a gateway into raw denim for plenty of customers. Some eventually move into Tellason’s selvedge range. Others simply want a well-constructed American-made jacket and stick with Stock.
Both routes make sense. The useful question is not whether selvedge is automatically better. It is whether the fabric, fit, construction and price line up with what you actually want from the jacket.

Trending Fall 2026: Twisted Wide-Leg Jeans
Twisted wide-leg jeans are a compelling denim direction for Fall 2026. Because they combine two top trends: oversized leg volume and visible, architectural construction.
Instead of a conventional side seam falling straight down the leg, the seam twists or curves around it, creating movement and an off-kilter silhouette.
The signature details are: Twisted side seams that wrap diagonally around the leg. Wide, barrel-shaped volume with a mid- or low-rise waist. Full-length hems that emphasize the sculptural shape.
To sum it up, twisted wide-leg jeans are a strong Fall 2026 update. More directional than a standard wide-leg jean, but less extreme than oversized baggy denim.
You can shop for this trend right now – check out our team’s favorite picks in the gallery below.
AGOLDE Twist Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans ($339)
We The Free Alter Ego Wide-Leg Twisted Jeans ($148)
MOTHER DENIM Snacks! The Lemon Twist ($248)
PAIGE Anessa Twist-Out WIde-Leg Jeans ($269)
And if you’re not really into wide-leg jeans, there are also cool straight-legs with a twisted seam available from TOTEME ($249) and Maeve ($148).

Lucky Brand x Madhappy – Collab Fall 2026
Madhappy and Lucky Brand are teaming up for the first time in a collaboration rooted in optimism, individuality and self-expression.
The campaign, shot in California by photographer Gillian Garcia, draws on the collection’s sense of Americana and nostalgia, capturing a relaxed, lived-in vision of optimism through denim, the natural landscape, and the spontaneity of being on the move. Familiar yet distinctly current, the imagery reflects the shared spirit of self-expression and reinvention at the heart of both brands.
Bringing together Lucky Brand’s more than three decades of denim heritage and lived-in Americana with Madhappy’s optimistic ideology, the collection reimagines familiar staples for those who chart their own path. The result blends Lucky Brand’s signature denim with Madhappy’s relaxed silhouettes, bringing the distinct identities of both brands together in one collection.
Denim anchors the collection in two vintage-inspired washes, light and dark, designed with the lived-in character of a favorite pair of jeans. The assortment includes a Boyfriend Jean, Low Rise Distressed Bootcut Jean, and Low Rise Denim Shorts. Also included is a hooded Denim Bomber Jacket and Patchwork Bomber Jacket. Each piece is designed to pair with a Madhappy hoodie.
The fleece and knit offering reworks Lucky Brand’s eclectic Americana details through the Madhappy lens. It includes the Mad Lucky Full Zip Hoodie, the Patchwork Cooper Hoodie, the Clover Hoodie. As well as a pair of Straight Leg Sweatpants, and a Crochet Hoodie. The Lucky Floral Zip Up and Lucky Floral Sweatpant bring in zebra and blossom prints. The collection also includes the Get Lucky Tee, the Lucky Tank Top in a striped knit, and two hats: the Clover Core Hat and the Studded Core Hat.
Here’s when you can shop the limited-edition collection: October 16th on Madhappy.com and October 23rd on Luckybrand.com.

For me, it’s about balancing the timeless with the new, adding my energy to each look.”
Rooted in New York style, the Fall 2026 collection reimagines American classics, sharpening familiar prep silhouettes through new proportions, rich fabrications and archive-inspired details.

Flannel Season Is Finally Here—and I Want Another One

Heavyweight Flannels, American Selvedge, and Finally Celebrating DH15
Every autumn, I rediscover the same handful of heavy flannels in my wardrobe.
The old favourites go straight back into rotation without a second thought, which actually makes adding new ones surprisingly hard. (Not that I need more anyway.)
But there’s one heavyweight ombré that’s been making a pretty good case for itself. That’s where we start with this issue.
In This Issue of the DH Weekly
- The ombré flannels I keep looking at
- 40 Indigo Invitational prizes for fades beyond the rankings
- 5 TWYA: four denim days in Amsterdam, American selvedge, leather, and more
- See you November 5 for DH15 at Brund
- From the Archive: How to get those sick fadez
This Flannel Could Join My Rotation
I’ve had my eye on SOSOBROTHERS’ flannels for a while, but I’ve never owned one.
With flannel season back, I took a closer look at why one of them really deserves a place beside the shirts I already reach for every autumn.
40 More Prizes From Year Five
We’ve already covered the Indigo Invitational Year Five winners, but 40 sponsor prizes were still waiting to be handed out.
Bryan’s final wrap-up is about the people normal rankings didn’t catch—from personal style and repairs to photography, family participation and both finishers who made it through the year in 40 oz. denim.
Weirloom is in there too: Sven Bauer, tied for sixth in Re(Pair), won a pair of my jeans, and Marcel Schorro—who competed in Weirlooms—was recognised for his excellent and very personal repair work.
See who won all the spot prizes here →
Things Worth Your Attention
A lot of good stuff didn’t make the cut this week. These five did:
- Amsterdam denim week – Four straight denim days: Kingpins runs Wednesday—Thursday, then Denim Days follows Friday—Saturday. I’m there Thursday through Saturday.
- Mount Vernon Mills selvedge – I’m already in touch with them, and 45 historic Draper shuttle looms are now weaving in Georgia. They’re getting plenty of coverage already, and I know one of the brands getting the first production is a popular LA-based name I feature regularly.
- Gustin Japan Indigo 23 – If 23 oz. Japanese selvedge sounds like a sensible autumn choice to you, this has the dense weave and stiff, leathery hand you’d expect at that weight.
- Redcast Heritage update – Whitesville’s two-pack tees are fully restocked, John Lofgren’s Military Desert Boots have landed in three colours, and ONI has a new 8 oz. selvedge chino cloth plus the high-rise 271 Just Right Straight.
- Franklin & Poe leather – Two 1930s-style jackets landed this week: Attractions’ tea-core horsehide Lot 379 and The Flat Head’s deerskin Sunset Trail, both strongly rooted in 1930s motorcycle-jacket design.
DH15 Is Coming to Brund
Denimhunters turns 15 this year, but I still haven’t celebrated it. That changes on 5 November, when we’re getting people together at Brund in Copenhagen.
I’ve worked at the shop almost since the beginning of Denimhunters, and I’ve been part of plenty of events there over the years—including the Weirloom pop-up they let me do last year.
So hosting DH15 anywhere else would be weird. We’ll also use the evening to launch a special Weirloom x Heimat collaboration.
If Copenhagen is within reach, keep the afternoon free and come say hi 🤗
From the Archive – How to Get Sick Fades
An old one worth revisiting this week: what actually creates strong raw-denim fades, and why wear, washing and real life matter more than blindly following a six-month rule.
