Spitfire – Ltd Edition Tan Stitch Jeans

The Limited edition Spitfire jean is the ultimate in luxury denim. With only 200 pairs ever made, each pair features an original piece of spitfire metal, * taken from the aircraft wing of a redundant plane in Duxford, England.

Each piece is laser cut, then hand-painted with original numbers to add a unique luxury badge detail to each pair.  You are literally wearing a piece of history on your back pocket.

The denim is a luxury stretch blend, finished in mid/ dark blue wash, with vintage wash detail and tan stitching.  The Spitfire is offered in a Slim fit.
