The Wilkes is the newest fit introduced into the Freenote denim line. The fit and construction methods are an ode to the original cowboy cut. We began with the traditional western fit and modernized the overall specs for an updated classic meant for all occasions.

A generous top block with an elongated front rise matches with a fuller thigh and moderate taper for a fit that works great with any pair of boots. The construction details include a yoke over, a double needle outseam, and a preserved selvedge detail with the folded outseam.

Selvedge Denim Washing Instructions:

Best practice for raw selvedge denim is to wear it as long as possible to break in before your first wash. Some people go a year, some go two months or so.

Soak the denim in the sink/tub in room temp water with a light detergent for 20 minutes, inside out and then rinse thoroughly. Flip right side out and hang to dry.

Eventually you can put them in the washing machine after a few hand washes and they will not bleed anymore. Always hang dry for longevity of the jeans.
