Anatomy of an INDI jean: Part 2

Last week we defined some components that make up your favorite clothing item, jeans. Now we’re back with to continue the denim education!

Yoke
The v-shaped section at the back of jeans below the waistband is called the yoke or riser. This fabric adds curve to the seat, so the deeper the v-shape the greater the curve. This will vary on INDI jeans depending on your individual measurements.

Belt loops
To wear or not to wear a belt? That is the stylish question.

Back rise
The distance from the crotch to the top of the back waistband is the back rise. This measurement is longer than the front rise because it has a little more to go over, if you know what I mean.

Embroidery
Back pocket embroidery can be used to advertise the jeans brand, as many now have iconic designs. However, use embroidery wisely, a little goes a LONG WAY to making a statement.

Seat Area
This area is the back of the jean including the back pockets; think of it as the “part of the jean you sit on”. Since INDI jeans are custom, this area will vary depending on your personal booty.

Leg Opening
This is the width of the jeans at the hem. At INDI you can choose a leg opening, so whether the skinny leg alarms you or the bootcut is too boring, there’s a leg style for everyone.

Hope this helps simplify everyone’s favorite clothing item. Now that you can define the parts of the jean, design your own!
