How long do Mott & Bow jeans last?
TL;DRDesigned to last for years with regular wear. A range of premium denim weights — from lightweight (around 10 oz) to midweight and heavier — lets you choose breathability or a more structured feel, without compromising durability.
Mott & Bow jeans are built to last for years with regular wear — and the weight of the denim plays a big role in that. We offer a range of constructions:
Lightweight (~10 oz): breathable and soft, ideal for warmer climates and everyday comfort.
Midweight (11–13 oz): the sweet spot between structure and flexibility — our most popular range.
Heritage heavyweight (14+ oz): the most durable construction, built to last 3–5+ years with regular wear.
The right weight depends on how and where you wear them — but all are engineered to hold their shape, resist fading, and improve with every wash.
