Phetu is Designed for the daily grind. Inspired by the Zulu youth hustling for a living. They love their jeans and especially skinny jeans. These jeans are made from special hardwearing denim which can take loads of washes and stay looking new. We specifically made these jeans with the fabric first because we like darker jeans but do not like how they fade. But these jeans are just a slim cut, not skinny. You can send in your specs if you want them baggy or slim. These jeans are the king for pockets to hide your goodies away from non-friendlies. With a secret heal pocket.
