“I wear jeans a lot. I usually wear vintage Levi’s 505’s from the 80’s, because they look great on the butt and have a perfect leg.” – Mel Ottenberg
The MEL jean style is very classic, very 80s. The rise is high so you can wear them tight and high waisted or more relaxed and chill. Since the jeans are unisex, they’re sized for both men and women. And they look great on both.
“I took my denim look to my friends at RE/DONE and we created a denim uniform, MEL by RE/DONE.
The uniform consists of the MEL jean in two washes (medium blue and light acid), a trucker jacket, the Club Mel graphic tee, and a selection of upcycled Levi’s 505’s. It’s all unisex and sustainable.” – Mel Ottenberg
“We also did a limited run of upcycled Levi’s 505’s because RE/DONE got famous by taking Levi’s and upcycling them, and because the 505 is my true essence.” – Mel Ottenberg
The jacket and MEL jean are made from 100% organic cotton. The RE/DONE/ Levi’s 505’s are 100% upcycled from vintage denim, while the graphic tees are made with 30% recycled cotton using the old-school tubular construction.
