When will my order ship?

If you’re ordering an in-stock item, it ships the next working day.

How are your jeans made?

All orders are shipped from Denmark, part of the European Union.

If you’re in the EU, your parcel stays within the Union, so no extra taxes or customs apply.

If you’re outside the EU, your local customs authorities will handle any import duties or taxes on arrival.

What if they don't fit?

You can return or exchange any item within 14 days of receiving your order.

Exchanges are shipped free once the original item is returned. Return shipping is at your own cost, and items must be sent back in their original condition.

If you’re returning from outside the EU, mark the parcel clearly as a return—any customs or duties billed back to me will be deducted from your refund.

Do I pay import duties?

That depends on your location.

If you’re shopping from outside the European Union (EU), your prices do not include European VAT. That means what you pay at checkout is already lower to begin with.

Your order may also be subject to import duties, local taxes, and handling fees when it enters your country. These are charged by local customs authorities and are your responsibility to pay.

For US orders, Weirloom ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), which means I cover the import tariffs. Local taxes or state-level charges may still apply.

Who's behind this

Built on experience, made with purpose

I’m Thomas, founder of Denimhunters. For nearly two decades I’ve worked with jeans—selling them in shops, writing about them, and helping people understand what separates a good pair from an average one.

Weirloom brings together what I’ve learned along the way: the fits that work, the fabrics that age well, and the details that make a difference over time.

The denim

Candiani selvedge

This first edition is made from selvedge denim—but it’s not raw. It’s been sanforized and washed once for comfort from day one.

The fabric is woven by Candiani in Italy on antique shuttle looms from the 1960s. You can recognise selvedge by the white self-finished edges with the red line down the middle, visible when you roll up the cuff.

Family-owned for four generations, the Candiani factory outside of Milan has been humming since 1938.

Dyed for fades

Washed once, easy wear from day one

These jeans are washed once after sewing so they feel comfortable from the start.

The denim is dyed using Candiani’s Indigo Juice process, which uses less water and fewer chemicals while still producing that classic indigo colour.

Even though they’re washed once, the denim will still change over time as you wear them—developing creases, softening up, and gradually taking on the character of how you use them.

Care tips for longer wear

Wear them hard, treat them right

These jeans are made to be worn. And as you do, they’ll soften, crease, and fade in all the right places. That’s the whole point.

With proper care and timely repairs, you can get hundreds of wears. How you treat them affects how they age. And how long they'll last.

When it’s time to wash, go gentle. Inside-out. Cold water. Mild detergent. Air dry. That’s the best way to preserve the colour and fit.

If you want sharper fades, wait longer between washes. If you prefer a cleaner look, wash them more often. Either way, there's a trade-off.

The root of the matter

Old-school farming for a future-proof fabric

Regenerative cotton is farmed with age-old techniques like crop rotation and natural fertilisers. The result is healthier soil, more biodiversity, more carbon sequestration and storing of atmospheric CO2, and less emissions released in the atmosphere.

This is a pretty big deal. Because cotton is a resource-intensive crop. It requires (a lot) of water and sunshine to grow. And just like in the food industry, farmers have been using fertilisers and pesticides for decades. Regenerative cotton is grown without any of that stuff.

The cotton is certified by the Regenagri initiative, which you can read more about on their website.
