Designed for stretch denim and tailored to fit your shape, the Ames Jeans come in both skinny and straight leg options. Available in US sizes 12–28, with fit options for apple or pear body types. A high rise and pocket stay offer subtle shaping for a flattering and comfortable fit.

Fabric to Bring
The fabric you'll need will vary depending on the style and size of jeans you choose. Feel free to get in touch with us for tailored advice.
We recommend selecting your fabric in advance to give yourself more time to prepare, but you're also welcome to choose from our workshop shop selection on the day.
To ensure the best results, we strongly advise washing your fabric beforehand to allow for any shrinkage—much better before than after you’ve made your beautiful new jeans!
