Work Jean - 15 oz Japanese Black Selvedge Denim

$439.00
Size

This is the pant that Grease Point Workwear was built on. A fit with room to move up top and a slightly tapered leg, giving you a cut that’s fitted without being restrictive. Designed with work in mind, but without cutting corners on any component or detail.

Like everything we make, each pair is cut, sewn, and finished entirely in our Portland workshop by our small team. We build them from the best materials we can find, while putting the utmost care into every design from the first idea to the last stitch. Nothing is outsourced, and nothing without purpose.

Without a doubt the nicest pair of pants I have ever owned, I can't wait to get another pair! Make sure to read the size guide, as I ended up with mine being a bit too long, but they look great cuffed, so it's not an issue to me!

Easily my new pair of everyday jeans. I’ve been looking for a nice thick pair of Selvedge denims. Fell in love with this design. Only thing I will change is to get your length size, they said add an inch or so but I personally would just go with the length of your favorite pair of denims. These are easily a 10/10 when it comes to detail and perfection. Even with it being an inch longer than I would want, it’s perfectly imperfect. I love them and can’t wait to order Another style.

The 33s were a bit tight in the seat for me so I exchanged it for 34s. I was so impressed with the quality I went ahead and got the duck canvas too. These are seriously awesome. I’ve tried a lot of Japanese denim brands over the years and these are unquestionably up there at the top!

Fantastic customer service, asked about having a longer inseam and was done with no issues. Overall the pants are incredible and couldn’t be happier with them.

This pant is stunning! Craftsmanship is stellar. When I first put them on I was a bit worried about the length, but with the right cuff they’re perfect. After one bowling session they broke in just right. The only problem I have is now I want more in different colors. I would definitely recommend to others that are interested. Worth every penny. Beautiful pants I can’t wait for the next

Great, as usual.

Every GP pair of pants I have received has been the best quality of pants I’ve ever owned. Beyond perfect in quality and style, I receive compliments every place I go and they hold up to all jobs I lay before them. I’m slowly working on replacing all other pants I own with a GP set. Well worth the cost and craft.

This was my second pair and I love them as much as my first. A matter of fact I just ordered my third pair.

In a nutshell, these jeans are sick! A great fit for myself and all the details are great. High quality construction and thoughtfully designed. Surprisingly comfortable right off the bat for jeans of this nature. I’ll definitely be back for more.

It's hard to overstate how much a different product and different company this is than latterly everything else out there. You a pay a premium of X percent but you get a multitude more than that out of the ordering experience and final garment. If you have the funds dont think twice, they are incredible.

I loved the craftsmanship and construction. I did not like the fabric. I'm a big Japanese denim fan and have bought and worn quite a bit over the years...for a 14oz this felt very flimsy and not of the same quality that I'm used to. Interestingly enough it doesn't say what mill this fabric is from. My only fit complaint is I wish these had a slight taper....It's too bad they don't allow returns...I would return for the heavier 16oz in blue....but again no mill mentioned for that fabric either...If you're gonna charge this much you need to list the mill...

So good. I use Carhartt double fronts for work and wear selvedge denim if I am not in the field. These are perfect combination. The black denim has a lighter feel and is quick to break in. The fit is excellent. Measure your pants! Front pocket layout is fantastic. With other denim you're limited to access due to the design/rigid denim, but you have full, comfortable, access off the bat. Knife pocket will fit the smallest iPhone.

2nd pair from Grease Point and have zero complaints. They feel comfortable out of the box and have a very short break-in. Well worth the wait.

I’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on the 17oz for a while now. I’m so glad I did! The quality and fit far exceeded my expectations. It’s cool watching the wear marks develop as time goes on. I know these are going to age beautifully and they become more comfortable each day. I can’t wait to buy these in indigo!

Finally found a real pair of pants, will be buying another pair soon. I've worked in commercial landscape and also construction for 25 years and believe me when I say I've gone through all the other brands. I've worn them everyday for three weeks so far and told my girlfriend the other day I'll only be buying Grease Point from now on, as long as I'm working and they're making pants like these. I got the 17 ounce, super burly! 14 would be totally fine and what I buy next.

I’m not typically a huge fan of denim since I could never find a comfortable fit that I liked. I eyed these up for a while and finally pulled the trigger, so glad I did. The fit is perfect, not too baggy, not too tight, room in the right places. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. These will quickly become your favorite pair of pants. Worth every penny.

Amos and his team are making some awesome stuff. I have multiple garments from Greasepoint and all are built super tough with awesome materials. I love the skate/workwear inspired cuts, I wear my work jeans every single day. Worth it.
