Gene Therapy

TLK Jeans

Your mom’s hips, dad’s arm hair, and Uncle Frank’s damn nose. You don’t have the greatest genes to work with.

Make up for it with TLK Jeans. The little company was started by three Boston girls who scour flea markets and vintage shops for dungarees of all shapes and sizes (read: no two are ever the same), then get to work hand-distressing, redyeing, and bleaching for a one-of-a-kind, had-’em-forever look.

Finding the perfect fit is trial and error and can gobble up a chunk of time (they’re vintage, people), but once you come across the right pair (skinnes that are bleached and burned out to perfection), you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.

They’ll become part of your DNA.
