What’s in Store: Top Men’s TENCEL™ Denim Looks for Fall
There’s a lot of reasons to love denim made with TENCEL™ Lyocell. The natural fibers are soft and strong, creating jeans that are simultaneously comfortable and durable.
TENCEL™ Lyocell also has a low ecological impact. The production process that creates the fibers from trees uses resources efficiently, including recycling more than 99 percent of solvent used.
It’s easy to find TENCEL™ denim through an online search. But we wanted to bring you some of the top looks using the fibers so you can easily add them to your wardrobe this season.
Levi’s
Whether you prefer a slim fit or a roomier tapered look, Levi’s has you covered.
The brand offers its 502 tapered cut in a mix of cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell and elastane. For both an added eco touch and customizability, the jeans are finished with laser technology. You can pick your base wash, overdye, pattern, distressing and back patch to make your denim your own.
Levi’s 511 slim jeans come in a mix of cotton, elastane and TENCEL™ x REFIBRA™ Lyocell, which incorporates recycled cotton scraps into new lyocell. The premium selvedge denim finds a perfect medium between skinny and loose fits.
Banana Republic
One of Banana Republic best sellers, its Straight Legacy denim combines softness and strength with the addition of TENCEL™ Lyocell. With a 14 oz. weight, these jeans are perfect for transition months, since they are light enough for warmer early fall weather while being thick enough to wear when colder temperatures hit.
Aside from looking and feeling good, these jeans also do good. They are part of Gap Inc.’s Washwell program that uses 20 percent less water than conventional washing. The jeans are also produced in a facility that uses Gap’s P.A.C.E. female empowerment program.

Made in Italy with Candiani denim, Closed’s Unity Slim jeans have a high 66 percent concentration of TENCEL™ Lyocell. Part of the brand’s A Better Blue line, the denim production uses the Kitotex dyeing process, which consumes less water, energy and chemicals than conventional dyeing.
