Step into your greatness—your fit deserves more than basic blue. Since 1989, style-forward men have turned to denim as their everyday armor. And while indigo reigns supreme, it’s time to elevate the game with a shift toward black and gray denim. Whether you're stacking with intention or going tapered and tailored, these underrated tones are rewriting the rules of men’s premium denim.

The Rise of Non-Traditional Denim

The modern streetwear king doesn’t stick to one lane. Black and gray denim offer that same rugged durability and premium stretch, but with sharper, sleeker versatility. These tones bring edge to your fit while staying neutral enough to mix with anything—from graphic hoodies to luxe outerwear.

Men’s denim isn't just about comfort; it's about commanding attention without saying a word. Black jeans project confidence. Gray jeans hint at refined rebellion. And when styled right, both shades push your outfit into elite territory.

Style Armor: Black Denim Breakdown

Let’s talk black denim. It's bold. It's clean. It’s your go-to when you want that instant drip without overthinking. Jordan Craig’s black denim options come in cuts like:

• Ross Fit: Our signature tapered fit—motion-ready with serious stack potential

• Aaron Fit: A roomier thigh with a clean taper below the knee, ideal for big men

• Brian Fit: Slim and modern without the squeeze

Black denim is the base layer to your streetwear suit of armor. Pair it with a heavyweight hoodie and a varsity jacket or rock it with a longline tee and puffer vest. Want to level up your #OOTD? Go monochrome with an all-black fit, letting texture and layering do the talking.

Gray Denim: The Understated Power Play

Gray denim has range. From faded charcoal to icy stone washes, it gives off a seasoned vibe—like you’ve been in the game and know exactly what you’re doing.

Plus, gray jeans open the door to playing with color. Olive cargos, maroon bombers, tan boots—they all hit different when grounded with gray. At Jordan Craig, our gray denim lineup keeps it real with breathable stretch, clean stacks, and big-man sizing that respects your shape.

Looking for outfit inspiration? Try pairing:

• Stone gray stacked jeans with a camel trench and sneakers

• Ash-washed Aaron Fit with a muted crewneck and denim jacket

• Charcoal skinny jeans with a bright statement tee for visual contrast

Fit First: Why Big Men Should Rock These Shades

Here’s the truth: not all denim is made equal, especially for big men. Jordan Craig understands proportion. That’s why our denim—whether black, gray, or classic blue—features:

• Flexible waistbands that don’t dig

• Premium stretch that moves with you

• Tapered legs that don’t cling or flare

Our Aaron Fit was literally built to serve broader frames while keeping that clean silhouette. And when it comes to black and gray, the slimming effect is unmatched. For fuller guys looking to master their fit, these neutral tones give structure without shouting.

Set the Tone: Layering with Non-Blue Denim

Your denim sets the tone. Pair black jeans with:

• A crisp white tee and tech-fabric jacket

• Camo flannel and high-top boots

• Oversized hoodie and beanie for winter-ready flex

Style gray jeans with:

• Neutral-toned sets for a tonal look

• Lightweight utility vests

• Color-blocked windbreakers for spring/summer edge

Want to go bold? Mix black denim with Jordan Craig’s streetwear sets, blending high-contrast prints and textures for a look that owns the room.
