FYT JEANS


Overview

FYT Jeans is about garment's design and engineering to improve comfort, health and performance in dynamic and sedentary positions. When we move our body changes in shape/measurements but the garments we wear won’t change! We spend most of our time seated or moving in current lifestyle, building tension at stress and flexion points like waist, crotch and knees, which can be linked to poor circulation, fatigue and pain. FYT Jeans changes all that!
