DUER is the perfect embodiment of the fusion of fashion and function, creating denim goods with performance fabrication for any season of the year. This year, DUER prepares for the dropping temperatures with technical denim designs in three different styles -- the 'Stay Dry,' 'All-Weather,' and 'Fireside.'
All three options are made to combat the cold and wet weather. The Stay Dry style coats the denim with DWR in order to ensure that it boasts waterproof elements. The All-Weather design keeps wearers warm with the implementation of a windproof membrane. Finally, the Fireside denim designs are lined with fleece to deliver warm elements carefully woven to ensure that it seamlessly blends with the sleek silhouette.
