DEFENDER DENIM

Part of the LAYERS collection, these one-of-a-kind distressed denim pants are handmade in Spain from 100% cotton, featuring strategically placed abrasions and raw-edged cuts. Designed with a relaxed, baggy fit, they incorporate polyethylene knee guards that add both structural reinforcement and a bold, protective element. The jeans feature a double-layered waistband with six functional belt loops and five decorative belt loops, two front pockets, four back pockets, and are fastened with two skull buttons from Peru. Finished with a Reverse ODIS emblem tag crafted from Plata Vieja, symbolizing resilience and identity.

Inspired by individuals experiencing insecurity, these jeans encapsulate the internal and external struggles tied to self-perception and vulnerability. The distressed fabric represents the visible marks left by life’s challenges, while the layered knee guards serve as both a shield and a metaphor for the barriers people construct to protect themselves. The contrast between the raw distressing and the structured reinforcement reflects the tension between fragility and strength, embodying the complex journey of self-preservation and growth. These jeans tell a story of survival, adaptation, and the ongoing battle to find stability in an unpredictable world.
