G-Star's 3-D Arc Pant is a sculptural triumph. "The term "3-D" is bandied around with abandon in 2011 in regards to technological innovations in film and home entertainment, but Dutch denim purveyor G-Star's commitment to studying

added dimensions has been a priority since 1996. Head engineer Pierre
Morisset first created sculpted jeans with the iconic G-Star Elwood, and in 2009, the company perfected the Arc Pant. In doing so, they honed

the art of creating a silhouette that not only molds to the contours of

the human form but intuitively accommodates movement.

Available at G-Star, $200

Featuring an architecturally tapered leg with articulated knees, the Arc is the intersection of motorcyclist trousers and workwear pants.

Sides and inseams are twisted as they are sewn, lending give to knees when they bend and snapping back into form when the leg is straight.

Upon completion, each pair of jeans is put on a model and the trouser is heat-and-resin treated to maintain its 3-D form.

The resulting cut, available in multiple washes, is an artisanal denimhead’s dreamscape.
