Jeans

Our jean selection is one of the largest in the Vail Valley. Most jeans are either “classic”or “relaxed”. Brands which are in constant stock, are Indigo Palms (Tommy Bahama), Mckenzie Tribe, a true “gentleman’s” jean, Lucky Brand Jeans, Axis, Nat Nast and Alberto, a Euro stretch premium fit/dress jean. The jeans which walk out of the door on a regular basis for our gentlemen are consistently the McKenzie Tribe Jean & the Tommy Bahama Indigo Palms Jeans.

We have also added Worn, a new premium jean which features stretch fabric. This particular jean has a low rise cut, however, it is not excessively low. It is a comfortable jean due to its rise as well as its stretch fabric.
