The Journey RSS

It was all a dream. I was written up in Rivet magazine. "FITTED Underground founder Eric Steffen traded finance for fashion when he set out to make custom jeans in the heart of Brooklyn."

Two great American mills, one old, one new. One amazing pair of jeans. The ultimate fade comparison. ... This is going to be epic.

Super excited to drop my first ever collaboration jeans with my good friend, Mike Bandy, aka @bigdudeindenim. Limited run of 12 jeans, size 29-42, and custom sizing. Drops Mon. 9/13/2021. More from the man himself...

I was humbled and excited when Chris commissioned me to make him a pair of waxed canvas jeans. Bold and audacious, these jeans are right up his alley - and not for the faint of heart. 

Great things happen when good people work together, and I'm very excited to announce a collaboration belt with some exceptional local artisans. The Brooklyner is a limited edition, indigo dipped, made-to-order, veg tanned leather belt. 100% locally made.
