Klondike Jeans: Raw Selvedge With the Protection in the Yarn
In short: The Klondike is a single-layer riding jean in selvedge denim, woven from PEKEV® Titan on vintage shuttle looms. There is no separate liner: the protection is in the yarn itself. The complete garment is tested to EN 17092 class AAA and comes with RE ZRO® Flat Level 2 protectors.
What makes the Klondike different?
Most protective jeans combine a denim outer with a lining inside. The Klondike has no separate protective liner. PEKEV® Titan, our strongest protective fabric, is the denim, and it feels like a 14 oz raw denim.

Wearing in raw denim
Raw denim moulds to you, so expect it to relax about half a size in the first weeks. We recommend wearing it in before the first wash. Then remove the protectors, wash inside out on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
