Authentic Levi's Barrel jeans are inspired by folks who wear super oversized vintage 501® Original jeans, cinching the waist like a paper bag and in turn creating an exaggerated "barrel" shaped leg. What that means for you: these jeans are constructed with a relaxed, looser fit and a slight taper, then cropped at the ankle. The overall effect is a bold, slightly curvy shape. An ankle-length silhouette with a cut-off hem and an exaggerated, curved leg. Iconic leather back patch at waist. Wear with a belt to accentuate your waist, or without for a casual, looser look. Made with organically grown cotton by expert artisans using traditional techniques.
