Great!
High-waisted but fits well—not too tight around the waist, but a good fit. The fabric is sturdy. Nice denim!

Style and Quality
Really nice pants with soft fabric, a great look, and a good fit. Highly recommended!
Designed in the Netherlands, woven in Japan, broken in by you.
Clean, mature denim, the way ETQ does it. The JD 01 is cut from denim woven in Japan, in Tokyo, chosen for its structure, depth and character. It softens with wear, shapes to you and fades with you over time, finished with a leather ETQ patch as a quiet signature. Designed in our Dutch studio, with the denim woven in Japan and the jeans constructed in China.
Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and after quality the word that recurs most is comfort. Part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The range, by how you'll actually wear it
JD 01 Straight. A clean, classic straight leg with a mid rise, in an indigo and a daylight-blue wash.
JD 01 Wide. A relaxed, fuller leg with more flow, in the same two washes.
How to wear them
Denim is the easy half of an outfit. Wear the straight with a heavyweight tee and clean sneakers, or sharpen it with a fine knit and a suede loafer. The wide leg pairs well with a relaxed shirt or sweater. A darker wash dresses up; a lighter wash keeps it casual.
Fabric and fit
Heavyweight Japanese woven denim, 100% cotton at 475 g/m², brings firm structure and natural comfort. It starts crisp, softens with wear and breaks in rather than breaking down, developing character and a personal fade over time. Offered in a straight and a wide leg; most customers find them true to size. If you fall between two waist sizes, size up, as raw-leaning denim contracts slightly after the first wash.
Care
Denim is best washed rarely. Turn the jeans inside out, wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours, and hang to dry. Washing less often preserves the colour and the personal fades you earn over time.
Frequently asked about ETQ jeans
What denim are the jeans made from?
Japanese denim woven in Tokyo, 100% cotton at 475 g/m², chosen for structure and depth. It softens and fades with wear.
Straight or wide?
Straight for a clean, classic leg; wide for a relaxed, fuller silhouette. Both come in a darker indigo and a lighter daylight-blue wash.
How do they fit, and should I size up?
Most customers find them true to size. If you fall between two waist sizes, size up, as the denim contracts slightly after the first wash. Each product page carries a size guide.
Will they fade and break in?
Yes. The Japanese denim is made to break in, shaping and fading to you over time rather than wearing out.
How should I wash them?
Rarely, and gently: inside out, cold, hang to dry. Washing less preserves the colour and the personal fades you earn over time.
Where are they made?
