The Needle Skinny - Black Raw 10.5oz Selvedge

$219.00
SKU 3008-210-05-30

Our premium denim is inspired by the classic vintage blue jean. Our Premium Japanese 4-Way Stretch Selvedge denim story starts in Japan where our fabric is developed at one of the oldest denim mills. We blend a unique 4 way stretch material with selvedge denim to create a specific amount of stretch and comfort you wouldn’t typically get with selvedge denim. This 360 degree of stretch gives the wearer comfort from every angle no matter what they are doing.

Our 4-Way Stretch selvedge fabric is weaved using vintage shuttle looms. Rolls of denim fabric are then brought into our workshop in Los Angeles where each pair goes through a 60 to 90 day process of cut, sew, washing and testing. With 4 fits available in multiple weights (see fit guide) and washes, the style options are endless.

The Needle skinny fits smaller than our the Pen slim fit.

Nice jeans but……

Let me start with saying these jeans are very comfortable to wear. Stretch denim isn’t usually my first choice but these have changed my opinion. I’ve received many compliments & the quality seems to be what I’d expect from jeans at this price point the only issue I have is the size or lack of smaller sizes. I ordered a 29 and would have much rather have had an option of a 28 or 27. I decided to keep the 29 and just deal with the extra room but you guys should make your jeans in smaller sizes 26-28 for us tall skinny guys.

Hi Alwin,

Thank you for your kind comment. We apologize for not carrying sufficient inventory in smaller sizes such as 28 or larger sizes such as 40. Your request will help us estimate the demand for these sizes. It has been shared with our team.

Best,

Killer jeans. They are skinny, but not skin-tight. I love the quality, too. The only thing that I’d prefer about them is a size 28. Other than that, I have zero complaints. I’ll be back.

Thank you for your review, Dakota. We're so glad to hear that you love our 'The Needle Skinny' jeans and appreciate their quality. We apologize that we currently don't carry a size 28, but we'll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future collections.

A Paragon of Skinny-not-Skin-Tight

These became my new favorite jeans before I even had them buttoned, and what luck to land the correct size for me first try. The denim is beautifully saturated black, which I expect to fade exquisitely as I wear them. These are the top of the raw stretch selvage game.

Fit notes: I'm 5'9", 160lbs, all torso (30" inseam). I typically wear a size 29 among other "luxury denim" brands who use elastane or polyurethane for stretch. In the Needle, I'm a size 30. The classic selvage roll winds up striking right below the ankle for me, so if your legs are a bit longer than mine, you'll do great. The Needle is not a skin-tight skinny cut (i.e. Super Guy from N&F) but a close-cut, unrestrictive extra-slim of sorts. They nailed it, IMO.

Very happy with this find, and I will be back for more.

size options (NO SIZE 28)

So I see size 28 used to be an option?! Sadly it seems as if that is no longer the case, who ever made that call is out of touch and just clueless, how can you make a size have it sell out then not restock or remake that size? Love the denim and all the options, but sadly can not purchase anything, because for some reason you stopped making my size. The size 28 measurements are ideal for us skinny guys....I do not want to be swimming in my denim, and need a slim upper thigh measurement which you used to provide....
