EP's Denim by Epaulet

We proudly present EP's - our collection of raw denim jeans made in Los Angeles. Intended to compliment our shirts, sportcoats, and footwear, EP's have clean design, strong construction, and an excellent cut. Each piece is crafted in artisan selvedge denim woven and will deliver a comfortable fit and a great fade. EP's is one of our in-house brands and is exclusive to Epaulet. Like our other Epaulet pieces, EP's are crafted in the USA in small batches. Alongside a few basics, we'll release a constant stream of special and limited editions.

Clean and Dry

EP's have minimal embellishments. There's no logo and no contrast stitching. The denim is raw and unwashed. The front has gunmetal donut buttons, button fly, and riveted pockets. Stitched bartacks on the rear pockets reinforce the top. Pockets are crafted in rugged hickory-stripe cotton twill. The EP's coin pocket is perfectly sized to accommodate a few cards and some cash, thereby doubling as a mini-wallet. A genuine cowhide patch is stamped and sewn onto the rear. It's really all about great fabric, classic style, and a precise fit. EP's look just as good with a sportcoat and wingtips as they do with a sweater & boots. With their clean and versatile design, they'll surely be one of your favorite pieces.

Raw Selvedge Denim

The denim selected for EP's is woven on vintage shuttle looms. It has closed selvedge - a tightly woven band that runs up both edges of the denim fabric. On these narrow looms (28 to 30 inches), the closed selvedge stripe prevents the denim from unraveling. The selvedge is run down either leg when the jeans are assembled - so you can see the woven stripes when you cuff the jeans.

Selvedge, narrow denim is slower to produce and dramatically more costly than wider, mass-market denim. As such, the mills that we work with use the best quality fibers and indigo dye - resulting in a superior product which wears well and fades beautifully. EP's jeans are raw and unwashed. You'll find them really stiff in the beginning. With wear, they'll soften and fade beautifully. More importantly; they'll fade authentically. We don't use rinses, chemicals, or artificial washing techniques. You'll break these jeans in yourself. Just like the good old days.

Made in the United States

Each pair of EP's is meticulously crafted in Los Angeles. While maintaining artisan manufacturing in the USA is one of our goals and mission statements, there's a more practical reason for this: LA makes some of the best jeans in the world. The fit is consistent, the construction is top-notch, and the finishing is excellent. You're going to spend the next few years wearing these jeans in. It's our responsiblity to ensure that they're made tough enough to take it.
