The Riptide jeans from Valabasas are cut from a dark indigo stretch-denim that’s been stone-washed and subtly faded to give a deep, lived-in hue, then hand-distressed along the front and back of each leg with long, frayed tendrils of lighter blue threads peeking through to create a wild, torn-up effect. They sit at a low waist and close with a tonal branded button and zip fly beneath five belt loops, while the classic five-pocket layout—with two slanted front pockets (including a coin pocket) and two signature patch pockets at the back—is reinforced with contrast stitching and finished with a small black leather Valabasas logo patch above the right rear pocket. The cut is slim through the thigh before dropping into a dramatic 8″ flare that elongates the silhouette, and the hem is left clean-finished for a slightly raw edge that mirrors the distressed pattern. Together, the heavy distressing, rich indigo wash, and retro flared leg create a bold, vintage-inspired aesthetic that feels both deconstructed and fashion-forward. "Riptide" Stacked Denim
