Silence Before the Thaw

Materials & Craft

WearWolfe is designed in Chicago and built to spec. Our raw selvage denim runs 13oz Japanese selvage, cut in a straight fit built off the Levi's 514 block and modified for how rigid fabric shrinks and breaks in.


The inseam is chainstitched on a Union Special 43200G, the machine denim houses have relied on for decades. The waistband patch is 2 to 3oz vegetable tan leather, raw cut, hand debossed with the WearWolfe paw, chain stitched top and bottom. Every raw denim run is serialized.


Our knitwear runs in wool and cashmere, cut with the weight and structure of a campus knit, not the softness of a fashion basic. Corduroy runs 9 wale at 350gsm. Fatigue trousers run 8.5oz cotton sateen.


Design happens in Chicago. Production runs through our manufacturing partner, Oxford, overseas. We hold every piece to the same spec regardless of where it's cut and sewn.


Quality and fit aren't taglines here. They're specs we hold on every piece, at any price point.
