Men's Slim Straight

Men's Straight Leg

Frequently Asked Questions

The straight leg jean is the most reliable piece of denim a man can own — consistent from hip to hem, versatile across almost every dress code, and flattering on the widest range of body types. Our men's straight leg jeans are built around the Zach, our iconic straight leg style that's been at the core of our men’s collection for years. Not too slim, not too relaxed — the Zach features a regular rise and a classic straight cut that works for casual to elevated occasions alike.

We offer the Zach across our full range of fabrics and washes — from our core Williamsburg denim to our lightweight Casual Twills — with inseam options from 30" to 36" so men of every height can find the right length.

Straight Leg Jeans for Men

Straight leg jeans have a consistent width from the thigh all the way down to the hem — no taper, no flare, just a clean, even line from hip to ankle. That consistency is the whole point. Unlike slim jeans, which narrow below the knee and can feel restrictive, or relaxed fits, which can read as sloppy if not styled carefully, the straight leg hits a natural middle ground — comfortable through the thigh with a silhouette that holds its shape and works with almost anything.

It's the most universally flattering cut for men because it leaves room for the leg without looking baggy. A straight leg works equally well with boots, sneakers, or dress shoes, making it the most versatile denim shape in a man's wardrobe. If you only own one pair of jeans, they should probably be a well-fitting straight leg.

Our men's straight leg collection is anchored by the Zach — our signature straight leg that's been one of our most reliable, consistently worn styles for years. The Zach has a regular rise, a classic fit through the hip, thigh, and leg opening, and a contoured waistband that sits comfortably without gaping. It's the kind of jean that doesn't call attention to itself, which is exactly what you want from an everyday straight leg.

Within the Zach, we offer a wide range of fabrics and washes:

Williamsburg — Our core straight leg fabric. A midweight (9–11 oz) denim with moderate stretch, classic texture, and a wide range of washes from dark indigo and black to rinse and mid brushed. Starting at $98–$108. Browse Men's Williamsburg Denim.
Maui — A lightweight denim with moderate stretch and our signature back pocket detailing. Starting at $108.
Feather Blue — Our most premium straight leg option. A Tencel™ and recycled cotton blend that's breathable, sustainably made, and noticeably lighter than standard denim. Available in light foggy, mid brushed, rinse, and dark washes at $138–$148. Browse Men's Feather Blue.
Organic Move — A midweight organic cotton denim with moderate stretch and a luxuriously soft hand feel. For men who want the look of traditional denim with a more comfortable, sustainable fabric. Starting at $128.
Classic Vintage / Organic Vintage — Fabrics with a distinctly vintage denim character — more texture, more structure, and a deliberately aged surface finish. Part of our Regenerative Denim collection. Starting at $138.

We also carry the Marlon Modern Straight Leg — a newer addition to the lineup for men who want a slightly more contemporary interpretation of the straight silhouette in Classic Blue fabric.

Straight leg and slim straight are both widely stocked in our collection and often confused, but the distinction matters:

Straight Leg (Zach) — A classic, consistent cut. The same width through the seat, thigh, and leg opening. The silhouette doesn't narrow or change from hip to hem. This is the more traditional, relaxed interpretation of the straight cut.

Slim Straight (Marcus) — A hybrid fit: fitted through the seat and thigh like a slim jean, but the leg opening stays straight rather than tapering. The result is a more contemporary, close-to-body silhouette that still has a clean hem line. It's trimmer than a pure straight leg without the restriction of a true slim.

The practical difference: if you want something that looks polished and modern without feeling fitted, the slim straight Marcus is the pick. If you want the most versatile, least fussy everyday jean that pairs well with anything, the straight Zach is the better call. Browse Men's Slim Straight Jeans.

Our full men's denim collection covers every fit from slim to wide. Here's where the straight leg sits relative to our other core cuts, to help you navigate:

More fitted than straight: Slim (Jake) and Slim Straight (Marcus) — both narrower through the thigh and leg opening.
Similar to straight but more room: Relaxed Straight (Matt) — same straight leg from the knee down, but with more room through the seat and thigh.
More room than straight: Athletic Fit (Steve) — designed for men with a larger seat and thigh relative to waist. Wide Leg — significantly more volume throughout.
Classic alternative: Bootcut — similar fit through the thigh with a slight flare at the hem for boot clearance.
