Celebrating 50 years of raw denim obsession, this special edition of our 14oz selvedge denim straight-cut jeans is a collaborative release with the “Swiss Jeans Freak” himself, Ruedi Karrer.

 A true legend within the denimhead community, Ruedi received his first pair of Levis in 1973. This sparked a lifelong passion which eventually led to him becoming the founder of The Jeans Museum in Zurich - a denim lover’s heaven that is now home to over 14,000 pairs of naturally faded jeans and denim jackets.

 To honour Ruedi’s monumental half-century of collecting, this limited run features a custom-designed IHxSJF patch, tonal pocket arc stitching and unique commemorative pocket bag artwork.
