Frank & Eileen West Village NYC Wide-Leg Trouser Jean in Washed Black
Frank & Eileen West Village NYC Wide-Leg Trouser Jean in 1981 Washed Black Denim
The Frank & Eileen West Village NYC Wide-Leg Trouser Jean combines the clean structure of a tailored trouser with the ease of Italian Dream™ Light Denim. The 1981 Wash is a softened washed black with charcoal depth, cut into a mid-rise, full-length wide leg with an elongating centre crease. A substantial block hem, front slant pockets, discreet back welt pockets and a hook-and-bar waistband reinforce the trouser-inspired finish. Available in Australia online and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
The lightweight stretch denim has a softer, more fluid hand than a conventional rigid jean while still holding the broad shape of the leg. Subtle variation through the washed black surface gives the fabric depth rather than a flat solid finish, making the style easy to move between casual and more polished dressing. Compare it with the Frank & Eileen Galway 32" Wide-Leg Jean for a more traditional blue-denim option, or layer with the Montecito Crew Neck Cardigan in Sand for a softer neutral contrast.

What is Italian Dream™ Light Denim?
Italian Dream™ Light Denim is a lighter-weight stretch denim designed to retain its shape without the heavier feel of traditional denim. This version contains cotton, EME and elastane for softness and recovery.
What colour is the 1981 Wash?
The 1981 Wash is a softened washed black with charcoal undertones and subtle tonal variation. It appears less severe than a flat jet black and will continue to evolve naturally with wear and washing.
Is the West Village a jean or a trouser?
It combines elements of both. The fabric is lightweight denim, while the construction is distinctly trouser-inspired, with front slant pockets, back welt pockets, a centre crease, hook-and-bar waist fastening and broad finished hem.
What is the difference between the West Village and Galway jeans?
West Village has a more tailored profile with a wider 26" leg opening, 31" inseam, centre crease and trouser pockets. The Galway 32" Wide-Leg Jean is one inch longer and has more recognisable five-pocket jean detailing in a medium blue Italian Dream™ Denim.
Is West Village available in another fabric?
Yes. Riada Concept also carries the West Village NYC Wide-Leg Trouser in White Italian Performance Linen, which has the same polished wide-leg concept in a crisp cotton-linen stretch fabric.
How should I style the West Village Trouser Jean in Washed Black?
Pair the dark washed denim with the Montecito Cardigan in Sand for soft contrast, or wear it with the Monterey Pointelle Sweater in White for a clean monochromatic palette.
Where can I buy Frank & Eileen denim in Australia?
Frank & Eileen denim is available at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney, and online throughout Australia.
