From Blake, Creative Team: “I literally wear jeans every day, so finding long-lasting denim that will age nicely is really important to me. I frequently ride a motorcycle to work, so the jeans also need to be tough yet suitable for the office. The problem I find with a lot of raw denim brands is that the fit is typically boxier than I prefer and not ideal for my body type: small waist, flamingo legs. Companion’s Slimmer Hug fit jeans are exactly what I look for in raw denim.”
Barcelona-based Companion Denim believes that finding a good pair of jeans is like making a true friend: one that will accompany you on all of life’s adventures and grow more comfortable, more familiar with time. That’s why the company made these jeans, debuting on Massdrop in a special exclusive run. They feature 14-ounce sanforized deep blue indigo denim with a neppy texture and the company’s tightest cut. Sourced from the best Italian mills, the denim is then crafted into jeans on both modern and vintage sewing machines, some of which are a century old. The Slimmer Hug fit has a snug top block and a skinny leg, and is best suited for those with thinner body types who prefer a thin silhouette.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice of waist size (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, or 34) and inseam length (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, or 34).
Signature details identify each pair as a Companion Denim original. There’s a selvage loop above the left front pocket that allows you to hang your keys at a higher point, making them more comfortable to carry and less likely to damage the pocket bags. The cotton tape inside the waistband also works as a hanger, and the front pockets are reinforced with a super-soft, durable cotton tape from Italy. The hems are chain stitched, and the binded fly provides extra durability—and looks cool, too. Finally, the nerve embroidery on the back pockets is done on a discontinued Spanish sewing machine from the 1960s, with the two stripes representing the relationship between the wearer and his Companion.
To find your size, measure your best-fitting pair of jeans according to Companion Denim’s measuring guide. Then, compare the measurements against the sizing chart here. The company uses sanforized selvage denim with a minimum shrinkage of 1 to 3 percent.
