The BORO FOR PEACE project was created in collaboration with "Concur", a social enterprise based in Thailand's southernmost province. The BORO FOR PEACE Work Jeans are produced start-to-finish by a cottage industry of ethnic Malay women in Yala, Thailand, empowering them through fair wages and the preservation of their artisanal craft. A third of all profits are invested back into these communities, emphasizing the social and economic aspects of sustainability. Each pair is completely unique, a wearable work of art, produced entirely by hand with custom distressing and repairs using up-cycled vintage bandannas to create patchwork and boro mending details throughout. We've included a picture of 9 different pairs laid next to one another to show how vastly different each is from its counterparts. They have a straight leg fit, with a high rise and a slightly-cropped length that sits above the ankle. They have four very usable and roomy pockets for your stuff, because form shouldn't impede function, as well as a zip fly and belt loops for a proper workwear vibe. They fit slightly on the smaller side, we suggest checking our measurements (below) to determine the best fit. They're made from a 100% cotton indigo denim and completely overlaid with vintage bandannas, covering the entire exterior and then reinforced with topstitching. It's quite stiff at first, requiring a bit of wear before the thick material starts to break-in and soften, but over time it will relax considerably, taking the shape of the wearer's body.
