Frequently Asked Questions

What is natural indigo dye and why does it matter?

Natural indigo is a plant-based dye derived from the Indigofera plant, historically cultivated across India for thousands of years. Unlike synthetic indigo used in most modern denim, natural indigo produces richer, more complex tones that fade beautifully over time. India was once the world's largest exporter of natural indigo, and Old Gene's Vintage India collection pays tribute to this extraordinary legacy.

How is indigo denim different from regular denim?

Indigo denim gets its colour from indigo dye applied to the yarn before weaving, rather than dyeing the finished fabric. This means the colour sits on the surface of the fibres and fades gradually with wear and washing — creating a unique, personal fade pattern that tells the story of the wearer. No two pairs age the same way.

What fit are these men's indigo jeans?

These jeans feature a classic straight fit — clean through the thigh with a consistent leg opening. It's a timeless silhouette inspired by vintage Indian workwear and mid-century tailoring. The fit works equally well dressed up or down.

Are these jeans suitable for everyday wear?

Absolutely. The straight-fit silhouette and premium denim construction make these jeans versatile enough for daily wear. The indigo tones pair well with whites, creams, khakis, and earthy tones — making them a wardrobe anchor for any vintage-inspired or classic casual style.
