Akimbo Denim Double Knees – Mid Wash

What These Jeans Are

Mid wash denim. Double knee panels. Done.

Akimbo gave the double knee shape a mid wash finish. Guys on their knees all day wore this first. Now it looks good on anyone. Second layer of fabric over the knee area.

Features

Extra fabric over both knees.

Not dark. Not light. Broken in from day one.

Room through thigh and knee. Not baggy. Not slim.

Bar-tack stitching where it matters.

Denim has some weight. Softer the more you wear it.

Warnings

New denim bleeds. Light couches, white sneakers? Careful first few wears.

Cotton denim gets smaller after washing. Between sizes? Go up.

Mid wash fades with washing. Part of the look. Wash less to keep it darker.

The double layer feels stiff at first. Breaks in.

Used to stretch denim? This is real denim. Doesn’t stretch out.
