The Cleanest Denim You'll Find.

Conventional denim production is dirty business and we’re on a mission to clean it up. Here's how we're doing it differently—and why that matters for you.

Better Is Our Starting Point

Better denim starts with better materials. We prioritize certified organic and regenerative cotton — a tiny share of the world's supply — grown with less water and healthier soil practices. That same intention carries through to production: state-of-the-art factories that recycle up to 98% of their water, using ozone washing, air drying, and renewable energy to reduce water and energy use by design.

The Only Toxic We Appreciate Is the Song

We work with mills and wash houses that have verifiably reduced chemical use, moving away from harmful treatments common in conventional denim. Our partners are independently tested against leading safer chemistry standards like bluesign, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and ZDHC — not self-reported claims. Fewer chemicals in your jeans, safer conditions for the people who make them, and lower environmental impact.

Measured, Not Marketing

We don't guess at environmental impact — we verify it. Using Jeanologia's EIM, the industry benchmark standard for environmental denim wash impact, 96% of our washes score low to medium — meaning significantly less water, energy, and chemicals than conventional denim.

Can't Have Quality Without Standards

Our denim fabric is rigorously third-party tested multiple times from development through pre-production — verifying durability, consistency, and performance across fabric weight, tear strength, and color fastness. The result: denim built to get better with age, with more years in your wardrobe and fewer replacements.

Reviews

LOVE that this was updated

"LOVE that this was updated to include a zipper instead of buttons (though I didn't mind them before). The Way-Highs have always been my favorite jean from Everlane, and the zipper update was the cherry on top. Great quality and thick denim, perfect for shoulder season weather that isn't quite cold but not warm either."

Radhika H. (5/5)

Disappointed with fit

"Unfortunately the crotch and waistband are far too big. My fault for gambling on a final sale item via the internet. I can wear these with an oversize sweater but little else. They're cute, so I may spring to get them altered. My other disappointment is the jeans' incredibly chemical smell. I don't think I've ever had worse from a new clothing item. I've washed three times and it's still there. Very odd and disconcerting. :("

Heavy jeans

"This pair of black jeans is so heavy that I will never wear them. Unfortunately I cannot return them as they were deeply discounted. I can see why. Ugh."

Perfect rise, color, fit, very

"Perfect rise, color, fit, very comfortable, true to size, should have got the taller inseam"

Eleni V. (4/5)

Nice fit

"I like the cut! The hems are raw - would prefer it stitched neatly"

Feifan W. (5/5)

Cool girl jeans

"These fit me great! Only the tiniest gap in the back of the waistband. They look like they were made for me. They’re baggy in all the right places. They’re comfortable to sit in. They just look cool and polished. They’re a perfect length for me as well, I’m 5’7” and got the 29. 5 length."

Anna S. (5/5)

Good quality its very nice!

"Good quality its very nice! I suggest size up! I usually size 28 and its too small and sadly i cannot exchange."

Eglinda A. (5/5)

Strange fit

"Stretched out after one wear. Leg width is strange; not wide leg but also not straight. Wanted to love & especially since they were purchased at such a great price point. Off to goodwill."

Mary G. (1/5)

Straight jeans - no stretch

"Vintage indigo wash's waist is too small and it has very little stretch compared with Distressed. They break after a few hours, but if you have square frame like me, size up 1-2 sizes"

Lou V. (4/5)

My favourite button down

"I love this shirt. I own two now. I’m a size 6 (34B and 138 lbs) and got the small. It fits perfectly. This shirt is light and comfortable. It fits well under sweaters and blazers but also looks great on its own."
