Denim & Thread Jeans

You don’t come from a land down under (though your ratty Uggs have made some wonder).

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

Sydney-based Denim & Thread jeans speak-a your language. And the refreshing all-denim line just made its way to Boston.

The dungarees are no fuss (without crazy branding or distressing) yet super stylized and current. Shimmy into the high-waisted skinny pair or try the slim number with ankle zippers. There’s a straight-leg option (just add flats and a tank), as well as the requisite baggy boyfriend jean.

Made from 100 percent Japanese and European cotton (organic whenever possible), each pair is hand-sanded to the desired finish.

Which must put a lot of men at work.

Available at Stel’s, 334 Newbury Street (617-262-3348 or stelsinc.com). To see styles, go to denimandthread.com.
