Balenciaga SS24 Letter-Print Spliced Denim & Fleece Wide-Leg Jeans – Washed Indigo / Black – Unisex 783697THW254245

Balenciaga SS24 Letter-Print Spliced Denim & Fleece Wide-Leg Jeans – Washed Indigo / Black

The Balenciaga SS24 denim that is built from two fundamentally different fabric architectures joined at a single seam. The front panel: washed indigo cotton denim — a mid-weight denim in a classic washed indigo colorway with a whisker-fade wash treatment and a vertical BALENCIAGA letterform print running down the right leg face from hip to hem. The back panel and inner-leg construction: pure cotton black loop fleece — the heather-black loop-knit fabric typically used for sweatpants and hoodies, here used as the rear and inner-leg construction of a denim silhouette. The two fabrics joined at the outseam and inseam in a visible splice construction. Mid-rise waist. Wide-leg silhouette. Zip fly. Side and front pockets. A relaxed, gender-neutral fit. The SS24 Balenciaga denim that wears like two garments simultaneously — a washed indigo jean from the front, a black loop-fleece trouser from the back.

Why You’ll Love It

• Denim-Front, Fleece-Back Splice Construction – Two Fabric Architectures, One Seam: The defining construction element of this SS24 Balenciaga denim: the front panel in washed indigo cotton denim and the back panel and inner-leg in pure cotton black loop fleece, joined at the outseam and inseam in a visible splice seam that is the piece’s most legible construction statement. The splice seam as a design decision: the seam that the standard denim construction conceals (the outseam that runs the full length of the leg at the outer thigh) is here the seam that marks the material transition — the exact line where the indigo denim face ends and the black fleece back begins. From the front: a washed indigo wide-leg denim. From the back: a black loop-fleece wide-leg trouser. From the side: the splice seam as a visible boundary line between the two fabric constructions. The denim-fleece material combination as a Balenciaga design system statement: the house’s consistent SS24 direction of building garments that read as category-crossing objects — the denim that is also a sweatpant, the sweatpant that is also a denim, the silhouette that cannot be placed in a single garment category because it is literally constructed from two.
• BALENCIAGA Vertical Letter Print – Right Leg Face, Hip to Hem: The BALENCIAGA wordmark printed vertically down the right leg face of the washed indigo denim front panel, running from the hip pocket zone to the hem in a single continuous letterform column. The vertical orientation: the print direction that uses the leg’s length as the letterform’s scale — the wordmark that reads at full height only from a distance that allows the entire leg to read as a single visual unit. The dark-thread letterform on the washed indigo denim: the credential that reads as part of the denim’s surface rather than applied over it — the print whose contrast against the washed indigo ground is calibrated to read as present but not loud, visible as the house credential at close and medium range. The vertical leg print as the SS24 Balenciaga denim’s front-facing credential: the single element on the indigo front panel that identifies the piece as Balenciaga before the splice seam and the fleece back are visible.
• Washed Indigo Denim Front – Whisker-Fade Wash, Classic Denim Register: The front panel in a classic washed indigo cotton denim with a whisker-fade wash treatment — the high-contrast fading at the front thigh creases (whiskers) and the lower-contrast overall surface fade that reads as a naturally aged denim rather than a clean, unwashed indigo. The washed indigo as the SS24 piece’s front-facing color: the color register that reads as denim from the front at any distance, before the black fleece back’s material identity is visible. The whisker-fade wash: the processing that gives the indigo front panel its vintage-reference surface character — the wash treatment that Balenciaga applies to a denim whose back construction is the most unconventional element, while the front maintains the visual legibility of a classic washed denim.
• Pure Cotton Black Loop Fleece Back – Sweatpant Material in a Denim Silhouette: The back panel and inner-leg construction in pure cotton black loop fleece — the heather-black loop-knit fabric whose material identity is unmistakably sweatpant-adjacent: soft hand-feel, loop-knit surface, cotton warmth, and the slight surface texture of a loop fleece visible at the back leg and seat. The black loop fleece as the back panel material choice: the construction decision that makes this garment perform differently when worn than a standard denim — the fleece back providing the comfort and warmth retention of a loop-knit fabric at the seat and inner-leg zones that are in direct contact with the body, while the denim front provides the structure and visual weight of a woven fabric at the zones that are visible from the front. The black loop fleece in the denim silhouette context: the material that reads as a coordinated sweatpant set when the back of the garment is visible, the material contrast that makes this piece a two-garment system in a single silhouette.
• Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Silhouette – Relaxed, Gender-Neutral, Coordinated-Set Proportions: Mid-rise waist: the rise standard that sits between a high-rise and a low-rise, providing a relaxed waist position without the extreme high-rise that would compete with the washed indigo front panel’s vertical letter print. Wide-leg: the leg silhouette that provides the maximum fabric surface for both the washed indigo denim front and the black loop fleece back to read at their full visual presence — the leg width that allows both materials to drape rather than conform to the leg, the silhouette that reads as intentionally generous rather than accidentally oversized. Gender-neutral: the mid-rise wide-leg proportions in a waist range (74–86 cm across XS–L) that works for both male and female bodies. Zip fly with front and side pockets: the functional hardware in the standard denim format, executed in the washed indigo front panel.
• Coordinated Set Design – The Denim as the Bottom Half of a Two-Piece System: The SS24 Balenciaga denim and fleece splice trouser designed as a coordinated-set bottom: the washed indigo and black two-material construction that reads as a matching set when paired with a black loop-fleece Balenciaga top — the denim-fleece jeans as the foundation of a two-piece system whose upper half is a black loop-fleece sweatshirt or hoodie and whose lower half is a garment that contains both materials simultaneously. The coordinated-set positioning: the Balenciaga SS24 direction that builds the set into the bottom rather than requiring the buyer to source a matching top — the trouser that is already half sweatpant.

Size Guide

Note: All measurements are taken flat. A 1–3 cm variance is within normal range.

Fabric Composition

• Front Panel: Cotton Denim, Washed Indigo, Whisker-Fade Wash Treatment
• Back Panel & Inner Leg: 100% Cotton Black Loop Fleece
• Splice Construction: Visible Outseam & Inseam Material Splice — Denim Front / Fleece Back
• Credential: BALENCIAGA Vertical Letterform Print — Right Leg Face, Hip to Hem

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold (max 30°C) — turn inside out; the denim-fleece splice seam requires gentle handling to preserve outseam integrity at the material join
• Hang dry flat — do not tumble dry; heat may cause differential shrinkage between the denim and loop-fleece panels
• Do not bleach — bleaching will destroy the washed indigo denim’s fade treatment and the black loop fleece’s color
• Separate dark colors when washing — both indigo denim and black loop fleece release residual dye in early wash cycles
• Do not iron over the vertical letterform print or the splice seam
• Dry clean recommended to preserve splice seam construction, letterform print, and both panel materials
