Särmä Ladies Common Jeans, Black
We felt a bit bad for making proper stuff for men only, so here are women's jeans! These are, you know, real jeans with functional pockets and everything, and definitely not stonewashed, pre-worn, or any of that crap.

We felt a bit bad for making proper stuff for men only, so here are women's jeans! These are, you know, real jeans with functional pockets and everything, and definitely not stonewashed, pre-worn, or any of that crap.
- High waist, modest boot cut
- Zipper fly
- Fabric weight 326 g/m2; 98% cotton and 2% elastane
- All metal parts nickel-free
Then there's the price too. These are good quality jeans, made in Finland/Estonia. Jeans don't need to cost hundreds of bucks.
Size info
Normal jeans sizes - first waist, then leg in inches. If you already know your jeans size, order a notch tighter from that if you want form fit (as shown in our pictures). Order your regular size for a more relaxed fit.
Actual measurements of the jeans are in the charts below, so you can measure your hips and compare them to the numbers. With a size that closely corresponds with your measurements, the fit will be a tad relaxed. By ordering one size smaller you will get a more form fit, as these do stretch a bit. These are pre-shrunk so it's safe to pick by the numbers in the chart.

In search of proper jeans
Finding good jeans can be overwhelming. Especially ladies' jeans are too often riddled with pocket-looking things that aren't, worn to the point of being broken or ruined with bleach.
Our inquiry showed that a well-fitting boot cut model was the most favorable style among women. In other respects, these are comparable to Särmä Common Jeans: five pockets, zipper fly, and six generous belt loops.
The only thing that sets these apart from century-old jeans is the fabric: with 2% of elastane in the mix, these are very comfortable to wear. The fabric weight is also a slight bit lower, as is the norm these days. The label on the backside is made from leather.
We don't believe in making a product worse before selling, so these have no pre-worn holes or fades. The only treatment these have had is the removal of starch. Moreover, the fabric is "Stay Black" style, meaning it won't fade easily when washed correctly.
Jeans are washed after sewing, which poses a challenge for the manufacturer to keep measurements stable as the fabric shrinks. Each roll of denim fabric is tested to determine a shrinkage rate for the length and width, based on which the cutting patterns are enlarged to hit the final size as advertised.
Our sub-contractor is rigorous in these matters and the jeans follow nominal measurements very accurately. The maximum tolerance is +/-15 mm (just short of 5/8"), usually much less.
Made in Finland/Estonia
The subcontractor is the Finnish company MASI - the paperwork is done here, while the sewing work and finishing washes are made just over the gulf in Estonia, still within EU.

Lentää saman tien kaikki paskasti istuvat henkkamaukkafarkut roskiin, ei niistä oo mihinkään näihin verrattuna. 6/5, täydelliset.

Tilasin nämä mentaliteetilla "Ei ne kuitenkaan hyvät oo, mutta housut tarttis."
Elintapojen mukana kevyesti keskeltä levinneenä mahduin hyvin arvioimaani kokoon, olisin jopa voinut ottaa koon pienemmät. Ja kiva että oli pituusvaihtoehtoja, 157cm pituisena yleensä joutuu lyhentämään tai tallaamaan lahkeensa rikki.
Toivoisin samaa sarjaa suoralahkeisenakin, mutta bootcut ei onneksi ole kovin leveä joten kelvannee.
