If you want to make a tougher pair of blue jeans, why not turn to the same material that law enforcement and military personnel rely upon to stop a bullet? That was the thinking behind the recent collaboration between the denim company Left Field NYC and the California men’s shop ButterScotch Motor & Bean.
The result is the “On The Road” Kevlar Selvedge Riding Jean. Composed of 85% Nihon Menpu Japanese Denim and 15% Kevlar in both warp and weft yarns, these durable jeans feature Left Field NYC’s signature Charles Atlas fit. That means your jeans won’t bunch up around the gas tank when you’re riding on your motorcycle.
Hand-woven on antique shuttle looms for a classic denim look and feel, these jeans are built for comfort above all else. You’d never suspect that they contain such a high percentage of Kevlar, which tends to retain heat and is generally quite stiff.
