CALIFORNIA
These wide-leg pants are close-fitting from high-rise waist to the lower hips and largely flare out to the hem for a cool look. True archetype of jeans with its distinctive details (fob and rounded pockets on the front, topstitched yoke and back patch pockets), they are both original and stylish. Can be made into shorts finished with a topstitched cuff.
