Washed Whisker Pleated Relaxed Jeans
A Manifesto in Denim & Metal.
Introducing the Signature Dirty Wash Jeans from Empty Reference—where foundational workwear meets obsessive customization. This isn't just a pair of jeans; it's a showcase of controlled rebellion. Featuring a complex, multi-tone dirty wash, it's elevated by a full suite of custom-designed, logo-embossed metal hardware and secured by a reliableYKK fly zipper. Finished with a deliberately destructed hem, every element is a statement of intent, built to become the most trusted piece in your wardrobe.
✨ Engineered for Attitude & Endurance:
✔ Full Custom Metal Hardware - Every button, rivet, and buckle is exclusively designed and stamped with the Empty Reference logo, transforming standard fixtures into branded artifacts.
✔ PremiumYKK Fly Zipper - Equipped with the industry-standard YKK zipper for flawless, durable closure you can depend on.
✔ Artisan Dirty Wash - A multi-layer, tonal dirty wash creates a rich, lived-in character with deep indigo shadows and faded highlights, unique to each pair.
✔ Intentional Hem Destruction - The raw, frayed and torn hem detailing adds an authentic, undone finish that breaks from perfection.
✔ Classic Straight-Leg Silhouette - A versatile straight-leg cut provides a clean canvas for the detailed wash and hardware.
⚙️ The Hardware as Heritage:
-
The Custom Ethos: We rejected off-the-shelf components. From the irregular-shaped logo button at the waist to every single rivet, each piece of metal was specially tooled for this jean. This level of detail is a silent language of quality, signaling an investment in craft that is felt long before the first wear.
-
The Wash & Wear: The “dirty wash” is achieved through a meticulous process, layering pigments and abrasions to mimic years of authentic wear, resulting in a garment that feels broken-in and full of story from day one. The cotton denim softens with each wear, molding to the body.
-
Your Second Skin: These jeans are designed to be the foundation of countless looks. Pair them with a crisp white tee and boots for rugged simplicity, or dress them up with a tailored blazer for a high-low masterpiece. They are a blank slate for personal style, imbued with enough inherent character to stand confidently on their own.
