Product description

These are what jeans are supposed to be: durable, comfortable, clean pants. They fit even if you're not a slim-legged hipster who hangs their pants halfway down, and there definitely are no stone washing or ready-made holes! These are good-quality jeans made in the EU, and yet they don’t cost hundreds of euros. What black magic is this?

  • No nonsense classic model
  • High waist, almost straight leg
  • Zipper fly
  • Washed fabric weight 390 g/m2 (11.5 oz/yd2), 98.7% cotton and 1.3% elastane

Our staff is usually fully clothed in Varusteleka, but there was one constant exception: they wear jeans, and we didn't have them. We fixed this fault by making these Good Ol' Proper Jeans.

Jeans cut like they used to be

Right now, it seems fashionable to sell jeans only to skinny-legged people, with waists so low that people literally show their underwear. We don't like that. Furthermore, we have lots of well-muscled men, overweight men, and well-muscled overweight men who simply don't fit modern jeans because of their massive thighs and calves. As the saying goes in Finland, if you can't buy it, you have to make it yourself. Perkele.

These jeans have what is nowadays called a high waist, which is not high at all if you've seen military surplus. The waist ends just below the navel. The pants are straight, so there's well enough room for thighs and calves without making them baggy. You might even be able to fit boots under them, although these aren't really boot-cut jeans. There is a zipper fly and six belt loops—the loops are large enough for wide belts, too.

Proper material

If it's not "slim fit", it's made from some pre-washed or pre-torn crap. Not the case with these! These are a rarity, actually looking like a pair of new jeans with a nice dark blue shade. The only treatment these have had is the removal of starch, and that's it. This means they're also pre-shrunk, so you don't have to worry about that either. 98.7% cotton and 1.3% elastane. These are very comfortable and pretty hard-wearing. 

Made in the EU

The subcontractor is the Finnish company MASI. The paperwork is done here, while the sewing work and finishing washes are made just over the gulf in Estonia, still within the EU.

I went a bit long on the size due to the tactical jeans I ordered feeling kinda 'high watery' for my elongated skeleton. I don't regret the extra length, it's neat to cuff them or let the extra add a flair of mystery to my shoes but I feel like the sizing is a bit more precise with these vs the tactical jeans as the 36" length shows on them and the 34" width is perfect along my waist. This is a really bad drawn out way of saying if you had sizing issues with the tactical jeans, you won't with these common jeans. The cut is more relaxed and so will you be when you wear them. They are really sturdy, comfortable, and very deep blue. I look forward to many days of fun in these and watching the pretty blue denim fade into that rugged and trailworn pair of jeans you can't stand to let go of.

RESEÑA EN ESPAÑOL: Los pantalones han llegado hoy. Inmediatamente desde que me los he puesto han sido comodísimos, el tallaje ha sido preciso (he usado la recomendación de Varusteleka). Los he revisado de arriba a abajo, he mirado todas las costuras, los remaches, la cremallera, todo bien hecho. Yo los he comprado desde España (han tardado 20 días en llegar) y me parece absolutamente increíble que para tener unos pantalones de esta calidad tenga que comprarlos vía on-line a Finlandia, que me los envíen desde allí y que todo eso me cueste 90€, dándome a elegir en anchura y longitud; ni siquiera en LEVIS puedo conseguir esta calidad en el tejido y la confección, costando unos pantalones similares (pero sin los remaches de seguridad) me cuestan 120-140€ comprándolos en la tienda que tengo a 10 minutos en coche. REVIEW IN ENGLISH: The trousers arrived today. Immediately after I put them on they were very comfortable, the sizing was precise (I used Varusteleka's recommendation). I checked them from top to bottom, checked all the seams, the rivets, the zip, everything well done. I bought them from Spain (they took 20 days to arrive) and I find it absolutely incredible that to have trousers of this quality I have to buy them online from Finland, have them sent from there and that all this costs me 90€, giving me a choice in width and length; not even in LEVIS can I get this quality in fabric and construction, similar trousers (but without the safety rivets) cost me 120-140€ buying them in the shop that I have 10 minutes away by car.
