Short Description

Anyone claiming they're "into denim" while sleeping on Y/Project is essentially admitting they only read fashion headlines without bothering with the actual articles. Glenn Martens' structural experiments have completely redefined what jeans can be—transforming the most ubiquitous garment on earth into something genuinely intellectually interesting while somehow remaining wearable.

The signature belt loop construction pulls a brilliant optical illusion—creating that coveted leg-lengthening effect without requiring you to balance on six-inch heels all day. Martens understands the infinite potential of negative space and asymmetry in a way that makes most designers look like they're still figuring out how to fold a paper airplane. It's architectural thinking applied to something you actually wear rather than just photograph for Instagram.

Medium wash denim provides the perfect canvas for Y/Project's conceptual experimentation—clean enough to showcase the construction details while still delivering that lived-in appeal that prevents these from reading as costume. The slightly faded character creates dimension without distracting from the real star: that innovative silhouette manipulation that's become the house signature.

Construction quality alone separates these from the endless parade of "directional" denim pretenders flooding your social feed—the difference between concept that's actually executable versus the kind of runway-only pieces that fall apart after two wears. While other brands are busy gluing random objects to basic jeans and calling it innovative, Y/Project is actually re-engineering the foundational garment of modern wardrobes from the pattern up.

Details

Premium medium-wash denim with subtle fading. Signature exaggerated belt loop detail creating visual interest and proportional play. High-rise waist with straight leg silhouette. Traditional five-pocket construction reinterpreted through Y/Project's conceptual lens. Button fly closure with branded hardware. Made with the brand's meticulous attention to both concept and execution. Part of Y/Project's influential denim experimentation that has become a cornerstone of their design language.

Condition

Excellent pre-owned condition. Denim maintains structural integrity with intentional fading consistent with the design. Hardware functions perfectly with original finish. No repairs, alterations or unintentional distressing. Overall presents as a well-maintained collector piece rather than simply "used jeans.

Size & Fit

Size 28 waist. High-rise silhouette sits well above natural waist. Straight leg from hip to ankle. Inseam approximately 32". Intended fit is somewhat relaxed through hip and thigh rather than skinny. Signature Y/Project proportions may fit differently than conventional sizing—characteristic of the brand's experimental approach.
