Former Distend Denim Pants

Baggy-taper denim with a vintage wash, workwear pockets, and that loose-but-sharp Former silhouette that feels made for curbs, rails, and couch time alike.

The Former Distend Denim Pants are a relaxed, baggy-taper jean built around workwear cues and skate function rather than skinny-fit trends. Depending on the specific run, they come either in a pure 100% cotton denim or a heavier cotton–elastane blend, giving a solid hand feel with just enough movement where it’s needed. The overall block runs loose through the hip and thigh with a tapered leg and a wide opening around 18–18.25 inches, so they sit comfortably over shoes without bunching like a full balloon fit. Many Distend variants add carpenter-style or double-knee panelling and a Crux PU leather patch, plus contrast stitching and “F” embroidery, tying the jean back to Former’s hardware story while keeping the look rooted in classic work pants.
