STRAIT is an emerging NYC-based denim label that aims to fill a niche in the raw denim market, designing products with an emphasis on function, durability, timelessness and novelty.
This ambition is realized through a single, considered product: the ‘Bering’ Cut. A mid-rise straight leg jean—not too wide, not too slim—crafted from midweight 13.5oz or heavyweight 16oz selvedge denim. Finished with utility-forward details, its rope dyed fabric lets it fade faster and in more hues than other black raw denim on the market.
Founded in 2024 by Benjamin Strait, an artisanal designer with deep denim, leather and luxury expertise, STRAIT is based, manufactured, produced and distributed entirely within NYC.
