Effortless Boys Elastic Waist Jeans in Suede with Padded Shoulder
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a effortless boys elastic waist jeans around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk.
