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.
