Roskill Kilbirnie Denim Jeans

The Kilbirnie jeans use our exclusive, high rise, tapered cut - not too skinny, not too baggy, but more fitted than the Glenorchy jeans.

We cycle a lot and wanted a pair of jeans that can deal with the additional wear and tear of time in the saddle. For that reason, we have reinforced the groin with an extra layer of denim.

The denim is made in Italy by Candiani, the "Green-est textile company in the blue world".

All of the rivets and buttons have been custom made for us in Italy.

For the pocket material, we have hand-selected printed cotton fabrics to add a splash of hidden colour. These fabrics are taken from short lengths of deadstock so the patterns will vary across the batch. This adds to the character and sustainability of each pair.

The rear labels are made for us in Tāmaki Makaurau from genuine leather.

Aotearoa made, and always will be.

Kilbirnie is a suburb of Wellington, which before the arrival of Europeans, was known as Te Awa-a-Taia. Kilbirnie takes its name from the town of Kilbirnie in Ayrshire, Scotland.
