Okay, so this one is truly fantastic. The BEAMER RAW DENIM by DAWN DENIM is one of those pairs of jeans where the shape practically does all the work. A nice snug waist and then: pants. A whole. Lot. Of pants. 😍 Those enormous wide legs, the pleats on the side, and that beautiful dark raw denim… this isn’t just a wide-leg jean, this is a statement.
And do take a close look at the side in the photos. DAWN has inserted extra pieces of denim and added pleats, giving the jeans that amazing volume. Because of this, it doesn't just fall straight and wide, but gains an almost architectural quality. So, mega fantastic and amazing. I can't put it any other way.
Why is the DAWN DENIM BEAMER so special?
The BEAMER is a super wide-leg jean with a snug waist and an enormous amount of fabric in the legs. It sits at a mid-waist and flares out increasingly from the hip into a full, long leg.
But the best part is on the sides. DAWN has inserted extra denim with deep pleats. These give the jeans extra volume and movement without them becoming unnecessarily bulky around your waist and hips. As a result, they remain surprisingly sleek and flattering from the front, while you suddenly see that amazing detail from the side.

How does the BEAMER RAW DENIM fit?
This is emphatically not an ordinary wide-leg. The BEAMER is super wide. The waist is nicely fitted, and from there, more and more volume emerges. That contrast is exactly why it looks so good: you maintain shape around your midsection, while the legs fall wonderfully generously.
The pleats on the sides further enhance that effect. They open up a bit as you move, giving the jeans that beautiful swing. Despite all the fabric, it doesn't look heavy, but rather long and elegant.
What is the DAWN DENIM BEAMER made of?
The fabric is also special. The BEAMER is made of Candiani denim from Italy and consists of:
- 92% regenerative cotton
- 6% elastomultiester T-400
- 2% elastane (Lycra)
The result is a denim that feels much softer and more comfortable than you might expect from such a dark raw look. The stretch ensures the jeans move comfortably and fit well at the waist while maintaining that true denim look.
What is regenerative cotton?
Regenerative cotton farming is not just about doing less harm, but specifically about agricultural methods focused on restoring and keeping the soil healthy. A beautiful next step in more sustainable cotton farming—and exactly the kind of development we are happy to see.
How do you style super wide-leg jeans?
Let these pants take center stage. Due to the massive volume, we think the BEAMER looks best with something that is a bit more restrained or shorter on top. A fitted shirt, a woolen tank top, a turtleneck, or a cropped jacket: done.
But you can also combine them with a roomier sweater that you tuck in a bit at the waist. Wear sneakers for a casual look, loafers or flat shoes for more of a 70s vibe, and with heels, you make that long line look even longer.
PLEASE NOTE: raw denim can transfer color
And this warning really belongs with such dark jeans: raw denim can transfer color. Especially when the denim is as dark and intense in color as this.
Therefore, be careful, especially at the beginning, with white and very light-colored shirts, blouses, shoes, bags, and furniture. Friction can cause the color from the denim to transfer to lighter materials. So, that stark white sofa? I wouldn't sit on it mindlessly for the first little while. ;-)
Soaking them overnight in lukewarm water with a splash of vinegar can help reduce color transfer, but it is no guarantee that the denim will stop transferring color entirely. With dark denim, staying cautious is simply the smart thing to do.
How do you wash the DAWN DENIM BEAMER RAW DENIM?
As little as possible! A good pair of jeans definitely doesn't need to be washed after every few wears. Hang them up and let them air out. That's better for your jeans and better for the environment.
Do they need washing? Wash them inside out, on a low temperature, and exclusively with dark colors. Afterward, let them air dry and preferably do not put them in the dryer.

Sustainable does not mean indestructible. Even a fantastic quality pair of jeans needs love. Washing less, handling with care, and rotating your pants all help you enjoy them for as long as possible.
Frequently asked questions about the DAWN DENIM BEAMER RAW DENIM
Is the BEAMER a wide-leg jean?
Yes, but "wide-leg" actually undersells it. The BEAMER is a true super wide-leg jean with extra inserted denim panels and side pleats that provide even more volume.
Does the BEAMER sit high on the waist?
The BEAMER has a medium rise and fits snugly around the waist. That very fitted top is exactly what creates a beautiful contrast with the extremely wide legs.
Is there stretch in the BEAMER?
Yes. In addition to 92% regenerative cotton, the denim contains 6% elastomultiester T-400 and 2% elastane. This makes these pants feel surprisingly comfortable and allows them to move nicely with you.
What are the pleats on the side?
That is precisely one of the most fun details. Extra pieces of denim are worked into the side seams, which fall into pleats. With these, DAWN creates extra volume in the legs and gives the pants their distinctive, swaying silhouette.
Where does the denim come from?
For the BEAMER, DAWN DENIM uses denim from Candiani in Italy, a renowned Italian denim producer.
Can the dark raw denim transfer color?
Yes, absolutely. Especially new, dark raw denim can transfer color due to friction. Keep this in mind when wearing light-colored clothing, or using light shoes, bags, and furniture. A vinegar treatment can help, but it does not guarantee the prevention of color transfer.
And yes, this is definitely one of those. The DAWN DENIM BEAMER RAW DENIM has a beautiful waist, gigantically wide legs, Italian denim, and those insane inserted pleats on the side. A pair of jeans for when you don't really feel like wearing an ordinary pair of jeans. Truly a winner.
