Glow in the Dark Jeans

Posted: July 26th, 2011 | 70 Comments »

Presenting… one of our craziest and most fun jeans ever… Glow in the Dark jeans! Available NOW at Barneys New York and Barneys COOP nationwide. (Soon to be on www.barneys.com as well.)

Here are some more photos… (Note: these photos below have NOT been edited in photoshop. These jeans really do glow in the dark!)

Here are some detail shots:

Just charge them up in the light (can be natural sunlight or artificial bulb light) and then shut the lights and watch ‘em glow! The jeans will also glow intensely under UV light (aka Blacklight), so if you wear the jeans in a club with a blacklight, your pants will appear neon green! Even the selvedge edges glow so flip up your cuff to flip people out!

The jeans work because we apply a phosphorescent coating to the fabric in Japan. This coating is baked into the fabric and will absorb light and slowly release that light with an emanating green glow, just like those Glow in the Dark stickers we had on our ceiling as a kid. Another fun aspect of the jeans is after you beat them up a bit the wear patterns will cause the coating to fade in certain parts of the jean and will create a unique piece of glowing art!

We have done 5 wash tests and the jeans still glow nicely. If you want the glow to last as long as possible, wash your jeans as little as possible, (we know you do that anyways) or just dry clean them.

Enjoy!

Oh man, been waiting my entire life for glow in the dark pants, and better yet they’re raw denim! How many did you guys make? And whats the weight? Thanks.

JP says:

Ha ha, you guys are messed up. Awesome! My N&F smell so bad after 6 months unwashed that they probably glow in the dark anyway…

Brandon says:

The denim is coated in a phosphorescent coating, which absorbs light and slowly releases the light over time.
Weight = 13.5oz

If these put off enough radiation to sterilize you, I’d like to order a dozen for Christmas presents.

Brandon says:

6 August 2011.

Just to clarify at doubt, these jeans do not emit any radiation. That would be pretty weird and probably very illegal and expensive too! It’s simply a coating that absorbs light and then slowly releases that light.

Hey these will match the glow in the dark condoms!

WHY says:

9 August 2011.

can i get these shipped overseas? can’t seem to find them on barneys?

Brandon says:

9 August 2011.

Barneys will ship internationally. The jeans will be on their website soon. But before that happens, you can simply call any Barneys or Barneys COOP store and order over the phone.

Brandon says:

9 August 2011.

The Glow in the Dark jeans are online now!… http://www.barneys.com/Weird-Guy/501372926,default,pd.html

Alisa says:

10 August 2011.

Man, I would so buy these as shorts. Such a bomb idea. =D

Frank Brennan says:

11 August 2011.

This would be great as a safety tool also. An example would be highway works at night would be more visible wearing these jeans.

Brandon says:

11 August 2011.

To make these into shorts, all you have to do is get them hemmed to the knee.

Emma says:

11 August 2011.

Make these for girls! Girls love gimmicky shit like this (I, for instance, would immediately throw cash at my computer to obtain a pair if they came in any girl styles or short styles)

I assure you, they’d sell BIG. Appeals to the raver crowd!

Rachael says:

12 August 2011.

Barneys link not working anymore. Any chance they’re not sold out? Or will they be available in other locations shortly?

Kaitlyn says:

29 August 2011.

PLEASE make them in women’s!!!

Brandon says:

30 August 2011.

The jeans are sold out on their website, but not in store. To order, all you have to do is call ANY Barneys New York or Barneys COOP, then ask to speak to a salesperson or manager from MENS COOP section and they can order it for you! I believe they offer free shipping accross the USA.

desmond says:

24 September 2012.

do these glow without blacklight? like if i were to walk into a room with no lights on or if i walked outside at night, would they still glow as intensely as the picture? because i saw a few youtube videos of ppl in the dark with them on but they didnt glow cept when they put the light over it :( please reply, im planning to get a pair soon

Brandon says:

24 September 2012.

Desmond – Yes, these jeans do glow in the dark after being exposed to any light. The UV light (aka Blacklight) will just make the glow work faster and brighter than “normal” light. If you walk in the sun and then go into a dark room, the jeans will glow bright! It’s often hard to pickup on camera, but much easier with the naked eye. Enjoy!

Desmond says:

24 September 2012.

thanks so much! ill be picking them up in a week or two, one more question, what color will they fade to?

Brandon says:

25 September 2012.

Desmont – The denim is indigo with a grey glow-in-the-dark coating. Indigo will appear at points of wear.

Noknok says:

23 October 2012.

Brandon says:

15 November 2012.

Bec – yes, pears are delicious and so are these jeans! You can get the jeans at Barneys now!

Tanner says:

Best pair of jeans I have ever bought…. Most expensive as well. They ran around $200 and I got them right when they came out. They shipped them to me while I was at military training and I wore them while on my weekend pass.

desmond says:

Brandon says:

28 January 2013.

Maddy – We do have a womens version of these jeans in stock now!

Tamara says:
