Nudie Jeans Women's Regular Jeans Wendy Back Sateen

The Wendy pants offer a clean, workwear-inspired silhouette with a simplistic four-pocket design. They’re crafted from rugged, indigo yarn-dyed back sateen in a deep blue hue, woven from coarse, slubby weft yarns that create a richly textured surface with pronounced horizontal slubs. A gentle wash subtly accentuates the fabric’s texture and highlights the inseam and outseam, finished with felled twin-needle construction for durability and a clean look. From its silhouette to its construction, Wendy is our love for simplified workwear condensed into one thoughtfully made pant. As the back-sateen is yarn-dyed with indigo, these pants will ages with quiet elegance, becoming more textured, nuanced, and beautiful over time—slowly becoming tomorrow’s vintage.

Curious to learn more about back sateen? The “back” refers to showcasing the technical back of the fabric as the face, flipping the fabric so the reverse side becomes the surface. While traditional sateen is woven for a smooth, lustrous finish using fine yarns, we use coarse, irregular weft yarns to create a look that’s the very opposite of classic sateen: rugged, weft-dominant, and built to last. It’s a utilitarian approach with heritage, one that develops a rich character over time—especially in deep indigo, where the aging process only adds depth and nuance.
