I love my Galway Gaucho Jeans so much that I decided to try another Frank & Eileen denim style, so I ordered their Derry F&E Signature Jean, also made with their Italian Dream Denim. This fabric is a blend of 81% Cotton, 11% Lyocell, 6% EME, 2% Elastane that’s woven in Italy, and when they say it feels like butter, they aren’t wrong. These are easily the most comfortable jeans I own.
The Derry has a flattering slim straight fit with a 27″ ankle-length inseam and a hand-cut raw hem with a 12″ leg opening. The contour waistband sits just below your natural waistline (they have an 11″ rise), and I also like how they have a more polished hook-and-bar closure.
You all know that I’m a denim snob, and I promise you, these jeans are worth the hype. They’re soft and stretchy, but they hold their shape beautifully. Plus, they’re beautiful. They use a small batch stone washing process that gives each pair of jeans a unique look that will evolve and fade over time.
Fit Tip: These jeans run small, as indicated on the website. I have the Gaucho Jeans in the 29, but I needed the 30 in the Derry.
