Sage Denim Rover 14oz Denim

If you’re going to have just one pair of jeans, let it be these. Made of 14-ounce sanforized raw non-selvage denim, the Rover jeans hit the sweet spot for year-round wear. Not too heavy and not too light, they’ll hold their shape well over time. The denim is rope dyed, which means it’ll fade nicely—and much faster than it would with other methods of dyeing. Like vintage jeans, these are made with a single-felled inseam that helps prevent fraying and lends a streamlined look. Cut in a slim tapered fit, they’re complete with embossed copper rivets and a pull-up cowhide patch that’ll age along with the denim to reflect your use.

Indonesia has a rich history with indigo dyes (it's an important center for batik, after all), so it’s no surprise that the country is making waves in the denim world. Among the major players is Sage. The company was founded in 2012 with the idea that travel and outdoor exploration are the two best routes to a life well-lived. And the jeans are designed with this in mind—as hard-wearing garments to accompany you on the bumpy, unpredictable road ahead.
