Vincent Hickory Stripe Denim

Nudie Jeans have developed this 8.5 oz. 2/1 Z hickory stripe denim by studying their favourite vintage examples. The 2/1 construction gives the indigo stripe an almost solid mid-blue colour. To highlight the indigo-blue hue, they purposely made it wider. Which also creates a more pleasing balance between the stripes.

The hickory stripe is one of the most iconic American workwear fabrics. It was favoured by railroad workers and painters as the stripes would obscure stains. The catchy but odd name is believed to refer to the fabric's hard-wearing properties; because it is "tough as hickory". Other excellent details are the cream-coloured threads and the blue corozo buttons.
