What Most People Actually Want from Quality Jeans
The Insight That Eventually Led Me to Start My Own Jeans Brand
Helping people figure out how to find a good pair of jeans is what I do. In shops, through Denimhunters, and occasionally behind the scenes with brands.
I’ve surely handled thousands of pairs, tried on more than I can count, and had the same conversations about fit, sizing, fabrics, and price again and again. Somewhere along the way, one simple observation crystallised:
Most people want a good pair of jeans.
But they don’t want it to turn into a research project.
That realisation led me to start my own brand.
TL;DR – Why I’m Making My Own Jeans
You don’t have to become a denim expert to find a really good pair of jeans. That’s the idea behind Weirloom. If that sounds like you, read the story below—or explore the jeans here.
Not Everyone Wants a Denim Hobby
When I say “most people,” I’m not talking about the denim enthusiasts who read sites like Denimhunters, collect selvedge pairs, and enjoy comparing fabrics, fits, and production details.
I’m talking about a different kind of buyer—the much larger group of guys who simply want a good pair of jeans: something that fits well, works with the clothes they already wear, and holds up over time.
But for someone exploring beyond the usual mass-market options, the world of better denim can quickly become a deep rabbit hole: hundreds of brands, exotic fabric, risky fit choices, and wildly different price points.
In practice, the questions they have are quite straightforward. Are these jeans comfortable? Will they work with the rest of my wardrobe? Are they something I’ll actually reach for most days?
Sometimes, they start their search with a specific pair in mind. But more often, they’re just trying to find something that fits well and feels right.
Why I (Eventually) Decided to Make My Own Jeans
Starting my own brand wasn’t a sudden idea. It’s something I’d been thinking about for years.
When you spend this much time analysing other brands, helping people choose between different pairs, and explaining what makes some jeans “better” than others, the natural question eventually appears:
What would my own ideal jeans actually look like?
For a long time, I wasn’t sure I was ready to answer that question. Writing about jeans is one thing; putting your name on a pair is something else entirely.
Since I had strong opinions about what makes a good pair of jeans, I felt I owed it to myself (and you) to create my take on “the perfect pair”.
That’s how Weirloom began.
The Idea Behind Weirloom
The goal was never to create the most extreme or specialised pair of jeans.
There are already many brands doing that very well, and I admire them. In fact, many of the brands I’ve written about over the years have built their reputations precisely by pushing denim into deeper and more specialised territory.
But that isn’t what most people are actually looking for when they buy jeans.
What I wanted to create instead was what I think of as a gateway pair. A pair that captures the things that genuinely matter in good jeans—fit, durability, well-chosen materials—but presents them in a way that feels approachable and easy to live with.
In many cases, one really good pair of jeans gets worn far more than several average ones. So if you’re going to wear jeans most days anyway, they might as well be a pair that’s actually worth wearing.
The Weirloom Jeans
I built my jeans around this simple idea: a timeless fit, solid materials, and construction that holds up to regular wear.
They’re cut and sewn in Europe using Italian denim, with details chosen for durability rather than short-term trends. Nothing overly complicated—just the kind of decisions that tend to matter after months and years of wear.
If you’re deep into denim, you’ll recognise some of those choices. But the real goal isn’t to impress denim enthusiasts; it’s to create a pair that fits well, feels right, and becomes the jeans you naturally reach for most days.
Explore Weirloom
In the end, most people don’t need dozens of jeans and deep denim knowledge. They just need one really good pair they’ll actually wear.

Tommy Jeans – Spring 2026 Ad Campaign
TOMMY HILFIGER BRINGS TOMMY JEANS SPRING 2026 CAMPAIGN TO LONDON WITH A NEW WAVE OF SELF-EXPRESSION
Styled by London and celebrating the next generation, the TOMMY JEANS collection hits the streets of Shoreditch to fuse heritage Americana with the modern denim lifestyle.
Tommy Hilfiger introduces the TOMMY JEANS Spring 2026 campaign and collection, styled by the creative spirit that sits at the heart of London.
Fronted by returning Brand Ambassador and global K-Pop superstar Jang Won Young, the campaign cast remixes culture and lets authenticity run free. They own the shot, the city, the moment.
“Spring 2026 is about letting the city set the rhythm, and London’s energy brings a new edge to TOMMY JEANS,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “The collection is about confidence, individuality, and the fearless attitude of a new generation. Jang Won Young embodies this moment with her effortless cool and global influence, leading a group that flips the script and owns self-expression on their own terms.”
From LA’s Venice Beach to New York’s West Village, past seasons traced the TOMMY JEANS story across cities. Now, the lineup lands in London’s legendary Shoreditch neighborhood. Jang Won Young returns to the cast with her signature effortless cool, joined by fearless F1® Academy driver Alba Larsen in her first campaign as TOMMY JEANS Brand Ambassador.
They appear alongside Cat Burns, South London’s very own breakout musical force and defining cultural voice. James Lee, the Asian American multi-hyphenate bridging music and fashion; Franco Masini, the Argentine actor redefining modern style; and Gaius Okami, the Canadian, Berlin-based creator shaping global perspectives.
For Spring 2026, TOMMY JEANS declares the city alive with a return of street energy. Born from American roots and built for right now, classic denim cuts are reimagined in lived-in washes with unmistakable attitude. New transitional jackets come with an edge, light enough to layer, bold enough to stand alone.
A wavy Flag graphic remixes and icon, capturing movement and individuality with the bold energy only Tommy can own. The Archive Vulc sneaker returns from the vaults, as heritage design meets street-level ease. Ecru denim brings a cleaner edge to heritage jeans blending natural tone and effortless impact.
Thrift and repair denim carry their own character. Vintage fades, visible mends and lived-in authenticity give every pair a story. Born in the melting pot of New York City in 1996, TOMMY JEANS emerged as a younger, sportier offshoot of the mainline brand.
Rooted in the idea of fusing prep with music and youth culture, it introduced denim and activewear in brighter, baggier silhouettes that defied convention. Today, that same rebellious spirit continues to evolve — seen through creative collaborations around the world — each chapter reflects TOMMY JEANS’ ability to show up wherever culture is moving.
The Spring 2026 collection is available now to shop for on the brand’s website. And you should definitely have a look at the campaign video below!

Nothing to Wear? New Study Reveals You’re Not Alone
Denim Street Style at Paris Fashion Week
Wrangler x Avirex Limited Edition Capsule
Wrangler® and Avirex, the legendary purveyor of luxury American leather, collaborated in an exclusive capsule collection.
This collaboration represents a bold fusion of two distinct worlds: durable, deep-rooted Western fashion and aviation-inspired streetwear, designed for the next generation of tastemakers.
While Wrangler brings over 75 years of Western dominance, Avirex injects a distinctive urban edge rooted in its history as a streetwear and hip-hop staple. Founded in 1975 to produce authentic military-inspired flight jackets, Avirex evolved into a symbol of status and culture in the 1980s and ‘90s.
By merging Avirex’s premium leather craftsmanship and bomber silhouettes with Wrangler’s archival denim ruggedness, this collection redefines heritage fashion for a modern audience.
“Avirex brings a distinctive point of view rooted in premium craftsmanship and cultural impact, which makes this collaboration a natural fit for Wrangler,” says Holly Wheeler, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing Kontoor Brands Inc. “Together, we’re blending heritage and modern style in a way that feels fresh and authentic. Expanding our reach into a more premium space while continuing to celebrate the breadth of collaborations that make Wrangler such a dynamic global brand.”
“Wrangler is the authority of the West, and Avirex owns the sky and the street,” says Mia Dell’Osso-Caputo, Creative Director of Avirex. “This collection lives where rodeo grit meets city swagger. By fusing our signature leather with Wrangler’s timeless denim, we created a new uniform for people who move with purpose and value authenticity above all else.”
The seven-piece collection features a range of premium pieces characterized by bold embroidery, vintage-inspired patches, and superior materials. Highlights include:
● The Suede Trucker Jacket (Black): This standout piece is expertly crafted from 100% leather, with front button closures, side seam pockets, and is finished with “all-over” black-and-white patches that highlight dual branding.
● Patch Jacket (Wrangler Blue): Inspired by the trucker silhouette, this modern denim jacket pulls from both our archives, with “all-over” patches of Wrangler blue and yellow and Avirex’s signature red and black colorways.
● Barrel Jeans (Black and Wrangler Blue): Available in iconic Wrangler Blue or sleek, black-coated denim, these jeans are structured but easy. The exposed chainstitching – a technique synonymous with 1940s Western wear – creates a clean barrel shape and features the iconic “W” stitching on the back pockets with an oversized back pocket patch.
● The Streetwear Essentials: Finally, the collection is rounded out by a 100% heavy-weight Cotton Hoodie and Jogger set in black, featuring western-inspired “scroll” embroidery and co-branded graphics, as well as a heavy-weight Regular Fit Tee with the “all-over” patchwork.
Born in the West and raised in the city, the Wrangler x Avirex collection ranges in price from $129.99 to $1,699.99 and is available on the Wrangler and Avirex website.
