Double Knee
When you ride, your knees take the first hit. Pushing up the hill, shaping the line, stepping off at the wrong moment. That's exactly where the Double Knee Jeans come in: a second layer of denim sits over the knees.

If you've seen TYPE SHIT, you already know them. In the Greenhill session, Erik wears the jeans with the signature jersey.

Dust on the knees comes with it. These are exactly the days the jeans are made for.

TYPE. on the Double Knee Jeans
The designer
Mark Westmoreland
The jeans were designed by Mark Westmoreland, a denim designer from London who has developed denim for Levi's and Evisu. For TYPE. he built a cut of his own that you'll only find here: wide, with double knees and carpenter details.
The fabric
13 oz Right Hand Twill
13 oz means one square yard of the fabric weighs 13 ounces, roughly 440 grams per square metre. A heavy denim that can take a lot. Right hand twill is the classic jeans weave: the diagonal in the fabric runs up to the right. With every wear, the indigo develops its own fade marks, at the knees first.
