Being Japan Blue’s premium brand, the prices are considerably higher: typically, Momotaro jeans retail for around $250 through $300. Momotaro is the sister brand of Japan Blue. via Blue Owl/Momotaro 5) Momotaro’s 0605-12 Selvedge Denim (12oz) (And for matching your probably-a-little-more-pastel wardrobe.) As an added bonus, the Summer Sky Selvedge is a lightly colored denim, making it a better choice for reflecting heat in the summer. Being only 10oz, it is extremely lightweight, making it ideal for the summer. Like many in Naked and Famous’ collection, this jean combines Japanese fabric with Canadian manufacturing. This pair is one of the lightest on the list. via Naked and Famous 4) Naked and Famous’s Summer Sky Selvedge Denim (10oz) It is part of their Calif collection which pays homage to various towns around California, the birthplace of denim jeans. This particular denim is a stretchy jean made from 95% cotton and 5% polyester. They are able to keep prices relatively low because they own their own denim and manufacturing plant.

With linen, you will get more breathability and comfort without sacrificing the rugged raw denim look. As the name suggests, this jean is constructed entirely out of linen as opposed to cotton. I think Gustin really knocked it out of the park with their Pure Linen Indigo Selvedge. This pair is one of the rarerst ones on this list. via Gustin 2) Gustin’s Pure Linen Indigo Selvedge (10.5oz) Gone are the days of fake selvedge lines from DSTLD… If you were around a couple of years ago, you may remember the time when this brand tried to finesse consumers with stitched on selvedge lines that were only 5 inches long! Today, they’re an authentic addition to the selvedge pantheon. They are also sanforized, which means they won’t shrink too much during soaks or washes, making it perfect for bar trips. Costing only $75 retail and often on sale for $45, these are no brainers if you need a pair of beaters. Not only are these ideal for the summer, but they are also insanely affordable. My 6 Favorite Summer Jeans 1) DSTLD’s Straight Summer Weight Raw Denim Jeans In Indigo (11.75oz) The best type of jeans to wear in the summer are lightweight, loose weave jeans with a slim to straight cut. Jeans that cover all your skin will create friction as you walk and make you feel warmer. Keep the fits loose, maybe slim but never skintight. Lastly, regarding fit, in my opinion you should avoid skinny jeans for summer. This can lead to a whole slew of hygiene issues as well as you prematurely ruining the jeans (we will save that article for another day)! Cut If this process is blocked by wearing heavy denim, then heat and moisture will accumulate inside your clothes. Your body wants perspire because when sweat evaporates, it makes a cooling sensation. This is because as the temperature rises, your body reacts by perspiring. Minimizing your body’s ability to breathe is the last thing you want on a humid day. Not only does it weigh more than lightweight options, but these jeans can also restrict your ventilation. Heavyweights – 16oz – 23oz or greater (per square yard) denim is used.Mid-weights – 12oz – 14oz (per square yard) denim is used.Lightweights –12oz or lighter (per square yard) denim is used.Overall, denim is categorized into several weight classes. These two factors are directly related because as you use additional material to create a tighter weave, as you’re increasing the denim’s weight per square yard. The weight refers to how much a roll of denim fabric weighs per square yard and the weave describes the density of the fabric’s construction. The two factors that will determine the comfort of your summer jeans are the weight of the denim and the fit of the jeans.
