GVNR-1515oz Broken Twill Indigo Selvedge Denim
Special Edition 15oz GVNR. Slim straight leg fit. Feels regular. Not baggy or skinny. Broken twill selvedge denim that's heavier and a bluer shade than the GVNR-14. Designed on our Calderdale cutting table. Made for us in London.
The first pair favourite
GVNR has always been our classic fit and the one that many pick as their first HebTroCo pair. They’re slim straight with a regular feel and can be worn comfortably with boots. Mid-rise for great shape, comfort and to keep your crack out of sight!
They feature all the signature HebTroCo design perks. Hardwearing, quality selvedge denim as a base; five button fly with solid brass buttons; a chunky leather patch on the back that you can feed your belt under; five pockets plus our signature “secret pocket” hidden in the left pocket bag to safety stow your loose change.
THE GVNR-15 are made from 100% cotton, raw selvedge denim woven at the Candiani mill in Italy using cotton sourced from farms practicing regenerative agriculture. More about that further down the page.
What is broken twill?
Denim is a twill-weave fabric. There are lots of different ways it can be woven. The GVNR-15 denim is broken twill, famous for its distinctive zigzag pattern. It was originally developed in the 60s to combat an old issue where denims would twist after washing, losing their original shape. Twisty denim isn’t much of an issue these days but the demand for broken twill is still strong. We love the way it looks and its place in denim history. You can see the weave really clearly on the inside of the jeans. Get up close and lose yourself in its hypnotic pattern.

More about the make...
100% Regenagri® certified cotton
Regenerative Agriculture is the antidote to damaging, intensive farming. Farming with nature. Not just avoiding synthetic fertiliser and pesticides but using extra ecological practices.
Intensive farming leads to soil degradation. Regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that builds and improves soil fertility, whilst sequestering and storing atmospheric CO2, increasing on farm diversity and improving water and energy management.

Size Guide
In the photos: Ed is 5’8″ / 10.5 stone and wears 30 waist, 28 leg (without a turn-up), 30 waist, 30 leg (with a turn-up)
Turn-ups: We’ve make the GVNR-15 to be worn without a turn-up. If you prefer to wear your jeans with a permanent turn-up, choose a longer leg length to accommodate this. For example, if you’re a 30″ leg and you’d like to fold in a turn-up, choose a 32″.
Your HebTroCo jeans are made with an extra 1-inch in the leg to compensate for first wash shrinkage (e.g. a 30″ will measure 31″ before first wash). Any shrinkage will be in the leg, not the waist.

Product Care
The GVNR-15 jeans are made from raw selvedge denim. Please follow the wash and care instructions included with your order to avoid f*cking them up.
Raw denim is not colourfast and requires special attention when laundering.
For the best fades, washing less often will yield better results. Take a look at our denim care online guide for a comprehensive overview on what’s required.

Got several pairs of Hebtroco jeans and trousers, which have all been fantastic. Having lost just over two stone recently, I needed to go down a size, so as my GVNR 14s have served me well, and continue to age like a fine wine, these GVNR 15s were their obvious successor. These not only fit great, but the look, feel, attention to detail, and finish, is absolutely first class, as I’ve now come to expect from Hebtroco, so a big thank you, keep up the great work.

Received these a few days ago after taking up the pre-order offer, I wish I had ordered two pairs now, best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned, sturdy, well made and fit perfectly. My Mrs says there’s no way is she waiting a year to wash them, she will have to wrestle them off me first.

I only just received these GVNR 15 jeans yesterday so today is my first time wearing them and first time wearing selvedge denim jeans.
The fit really comfortable especially for me with slightly larger thighs, and quality is absolutely amazing down to the button flies, the lining in the rear pockets and secret front pocket.
Highly recommended and I will definitely be buying another pair
Keep up the good work Guys as sustainable, good quality lasting clothing made in the UK will s the future
