Vollebak reintroduces its ‘lumberjeans’
09/01/2023
They are cut in a 14 oz raw selvedge denim fabric made by Japanese mill Kaihara and woven on shuttle looms with high-strength aramid fibres, in an 82% cotton/8% aramid blend. This fibre, the brand says, is normally used for body armour. Cordura panels have been added to further reinforce the seat and knees. A combination that is said to allow the jeans to survive a 75 kmph fall and drag on concrete. In Vollebak’s Black edition lumberjeans, the denim fabric is made from a blend of cotton and Dyneema.
Founded by twin brothers Steve and Nick Tidball, Vollebak strives to push the boundaries of durability in the functional items it has been making since 2015.
