Trabuco Classic Straight 14.50 Ounce Kaihara Denim

Freenote provided amazing customer service, helping me identify both the sizing and the style of cut that would work best for me. Denim arrived and it's exactly what I was hoping for - robust but not too heavy or stiff, very well-made, beautiful coloring. The Trabuco fit my athletic frame perfectly. Thighs provide enough room without being any sort of baggy. Knees and calves wide enough that movement is easy. Leg opening is the perfect size to look good with any sort of footwear, and can fit over a boot. Truly a classic, everyday fit. Can't wait to see how they look in six months! Thank you, Freenote!

Freenote is choosing always very high quality material. You feel it when touching it.
The different cuts are very well balanced so everybody will find his preferred cut.

I have a few other pairs of Japanese selvedge jeans from other companies at this price point or higher. These are by far the best-made. The attention to detail is incredible-- from the buttons to the stitching to the rivets to the patches. The fit is great. I ordered a size down based on the dimensions, but I found that they fit true to size (I wear 34 in other brands and 34 in these).

These are the perfect jeans. They aren’t tight and they aren’t baggy. They remind me of how the 501s fit, yet, these are way more quality than Levis. Everything from the thick leather patch, only sewn on two sides (so you can slip your belt through), to the belt loops being sewn into the waist, to the selvege line matching the color of the topstitch, to the thick, yet soft pocket bags, appear to have a lot of thought put into it. From day one, these have become my favorite jeans, and I own jeans from all the major raw denim brands. I’m excited to see how they break in. Thank Freenote!

These are really great jeans. They’re a step above similarly priced jeans in both quality of construction as well as fit. If you’re looking for a classic fit pair of jeans that aren’t too skinny or too loose, the Trabucos are what you want.
