Levi’s® workwear heritage meets Sky High Farm Goods’ commitment to food equity and regenerative agriculture in a collection built to be worn, worked, and lived in. Every piece reflects a shared commitment to creating something that looks good, works hard and gives back.

A Workwear Collection Rooted In Craftsmanship, Community and Purpose.

Founded by artist Dan Colen and Daphne Seybold, Sky High Farm Goods supports the nonprofit Sky High Farm, a Hudson Valley organization dedicated to regenerative agriculture and increasing access to fresh, nutritious food for communities in need. 

That mission is a natural fit for our workwear heritage. Together, Levi’s® and Sky High Farm Goods bring shared values to life through craftsmanship, thoughtful production and a belief that clothing can be a force for good.  

Shot on the streets of New York City, the campaign brings the world of the farm into the urban landscape, highlighting the connection between the land, the table, and the communities they sustain. It’s a reminder that we’re all connected through the people who grow our food, and that good work reaches far beyond the field.

“We’ve reimagined classic workwear through entirely new silhouettes that blend our signature design language with Sky High Farm Goods’ utilitarian approach. Chore coats, loose denim, overalls, work vests, and graphic tees are finished with thoughtful details including triple-stitch construction, custom hardware, signature embroidery, and co-branded touches. 

Crafted with organic and transitional cotton, every piece reflects our shared commitment to thoughtful production while staying true to the durability and utility that have defined our workwear.”

Good Work, Good Goods

The eight-piece collection reimagines classic Levi’s workwear through Sky High Farm’s utilitarian lens. The lineup includes straight- and loose-fit jeans, trucker jackets, overalls, and more. You can check out and shop for the complete collection here.

The A-2 Jacket I Never Wear, and What It’s Taught Me About Building a Wardrobe

There are a few pieces in my wardrobe I don’t really wear. Pieces that, I feel, don’t really belong in my style, however much I want them to.

One example is an A-2 leather jacket from Simmons Bilt—the one below, the one I’m wearing above is a vintage one I picked in San Francisco in 2013. The Simmons Bilt is custom-made, “lightweight” goatskin, and obviously fits me perfectly. A genuinely beautiful jacket. And I almost never wear it.

The real reason: I’m not really a leather jacket guy. Deep down, I probably wanted a biker jacket—that might’ve suited me better. But a biker jacket would totally clash with my sneakers, because it “requires” engineer boots, and then I’m suddenly Marlon Brando.

So the A-2 hangs there. A truly great jacket pointing somewhere I’m not going.

This is what happens when you start building a wardrobe before you’re clear on your denim style. Or when you think you can pull off a signature piece that’s just not you. The wardrobe guide is here to help: once you know your denim style, it’s time to start building a wardrobe around it, in the right order.

In This Issue of the DH Weekly

What I’ve learned about buying the wrong thing at the wrong time from the story of that leather jacket I almost never wear. This issue goes behind the wardrobe guide from my New to Raw Denim series.

Get Denimhunters in Your Inbox Every Friday

The DH Weekly is my Friday column on raw denim and the clothes that get better with wear—care guides, product picks, restocks, and the occasional bit of denim history.

Foundation First

I’m probably not the only one who’s bought a leather jacket “too early.” You might also be tempted to get that pair of grail boots before you’ve figured out your jeans. Or a pile of accessories before any of it has something to work with.

My A-2 is a good example because it’s a signature piece—the kind of thing that defines an outfit and maybe even your entire style. It was an aspirational purchase: I bought it for the version of me that wears leather jackets (a version that doesn’t exist), not the one where I’m on a cargo bike doing school runs in Danish weather.

A leather jacket is wind-resistant but not really breathable, and definitely not something you pack light with. Leatherheads will disagree, but I’m not looking for a fight. My point is: a signature piece only works when the foundation is solid enough to carry it. And an aspirational purchase only works when your actual life gives it somewhere to go.

The wardrobe guide in the New to Raw Denim series runs through the categories in order—jeans, footwear, base layers first, then shirts, jackets, knitwear and outerwear, and only then the details that complete an outfit. Your denim style will influence every decision. And some of the advice is counterintuitive: on boots, on base layers, on when not to buy the thing you actually want.

The Full Series Is Already Live

This guide is part of the New to Raw Denim series. Once the wardrobe is there, the next guide is about keeping it going—how to look after everything you’ve just built. Or start with the hub if you’re coming in cold.

One thing I’m genuinely curious about: is the Foundation/Main Rotation/Details framework actually useful, or does it feel like too much structure? Let me know.

Hollywood glamour meets French couture. Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Cruise 2027 collection brought undone California cool to the runway with distressed denim, fluid silhouettes and cinematic craftsmanship under the lights of Los Angeles.

So yes, ripped jeans are definitely not going anywhere. In spite of so many brands trying hard to push dark indigo denim, it looks like both ripped and clean dark denim will have to “live side by side”! (That’s, at least, your Denimology editor’s humble opinion!).

Anderson made distressed denim one of the defining elements of his first Dior Cruise collection. Rather than treating jeans as casual basics, he elevated them through couture techniques and Hollywood-inspired styling.

The most talked-about denim innovation was the use of fine silver chains threaded through ripped areas of the jeans to imitate loose cotton fibers.

From a distance the jeans appeared heavily distressed, but up close they revealed meticulous jewelry-like craftsmanship. It was one of the collection’s clearest examples of Anderson blending couture techniques with everyday garments.

The tension between refined Dior tailoring and worn-in denim became one of the show’s defining visual ideas.

The Dior Cruise 2027 collection brings us an important distinction within the Fall 2026/Resort 2027 denim landscape. While many brands are championing clean dark indigo, Dior demonstrates that decorative, artisanal distressing can feel equally modern when executed with precision. It reinforces a broader luxury trend in which denim is treated as a canvas for craftsmanship rather than simply a casual fabric.

Watch the video of the complete show in our video below.

The Rising Trend of Jeans as Shapewear Jeans have been a wardrobe staple for decades. We all love them here! In fact, they might be the defining garment of the Western world over the past 50 years, and probably the 2000’s-2015’s for modern clothes. However, jeans have never been static.…

The Hailey ’90s Low Rise Loose

AThis jeanshave a lower rise than the Extra Baggy and the fit is a relaxed, loose straight leg inspired by Gap’s 1990’s vintage jeans. Also available online at Gap in three different indigo washes.

Ksubi by Elle II is the collaboration between Australian denim label Ksubi and stylist/content creator Elle Ferguson.

Following the success of the initial capsule, Volume II launched this July with an expanded 15-piece collection inspired by Parisian style and Bondi ease.

This edit redefines wardrobe staples with timeless pieces crafted in classic mid-blue denim, accented by tobacco stitching, subtle distressing, and Ksubi’s signature lived-in aesthetic.

Each piece is personally designed by Elle, reflecting her creative vision and drawing inspiration from her cherished denim archives.

The hero denim piece is the Boyfriend Jean in Frenchie Blue. This wide-leg style reflects one of the strongest denim directions for 2026.

he Ksubi by Elle capsule sits between classic premium denim and current runway trends. It avoids both extremes: It doesn’t embrace the ultra-baggy silhouettes of early 2020s streetwear nor follow the ultra-slim revival.

Instead, it lands on one of the strongest commercial silhouettes for 2026: the relaxed boyfriend jean with a vintage-inspired wash and restrained distressing. That makes it a strong example of the industry’s move toward versatile, elevated denim that feels modern without relying on dramatic washes or exaggerated proportions.

This capsule collection is available now on the Ksubi website as well as in Ksubi stores.
