How Swede It Is

Cheap Monday Denim

In your mind, you’ll forever be the sinewy slip of a thing you once were.

But right now, you’ve got something more substantial to ponder. (And we’re not talking about your backside.)

Specifically, the news that the Tight jean by Swedish label Cheap Monday just recently washed up on American shores.

Creator Orjan Andersson originally designed the line as a thank-you to the loyal buyers who frequented his posh Euro boutiques year after year (and paid top Euros for the denim).

But then the super-skinny, unwashed gray and black unisex version became so popular on its own that he priced the exports to match — at an Ikea-esque $65 per pair.

At that price, you should grab one while you can.

Before the pickings get too slim.
