Baggy-taper denim with a vintage wash, workwear pockets, and that loose-but-sharp Former silhouette that feels made for curbs, rails, and couch time alike.
The Former Distend Denim Pants are a relaxed, baggy-taper jean built around workwear cues and skate function rather than skinny-fit trends. Depending on the specific run, they come either in a pure 100% cotton denim or a heavier cotton–elastane blend, giving a solid hand feel with just enough movement where it’s needed. The overall block runs loose through the hip and thigh with a tapered leg and a wide opening around 18–18.25 inches, so they sit comfortably over shoes without bunching like a full balloon fit. Many Distend variants add carpenter-style or double-knee panelling and a Crux PU leather patch, plus contrast stitching and “F” embroidery, tying the jean back to Former’s hardware story while keeping the look rooted in classic work pants.
- Baggy taper fit: Loose through the top with a tapered leg and wide 18–18.25 inch opening for a relaxed yet controlled silhouette.
- Heavy denim construction: Built from durable 100% cotton or 310 gsm cotton–elastane denim for long-lasting wear and proper structure.
- Vintage wash finishes: Offered in worn blue, washed grey, washed purple and similar vintage-style washes for a broken-in look from day one.
- Workwear pocket layout: Carpenter-style pockets, patch back pockets, and occasional double-knee panelling nod to traditional workwear.
- Custom Former details: Features elements like Crux PU leather patch, “F” embroidery, and custom hardware to anchor it firmly in the Former line.
- Team-rider approved: The VT/distend jean variants are designed with and worn by team rider Jake Anderson, aligning the fit with real skate needs.
