Antur Supply Co - a lifestyle brand curated for the adventurous heart. Having launched in 2018, we established the brand with our signature camping mats and insulated water bottles. Over the past 18 months, I have been designing and developing our most exciting project yet.
Functional, comfortable, durable, and breathable denim, built for your lifestyle.
We developed jeans that don't restrict your lifestyle. A jean that can adapt, and can be worn at the office, on your commute, for nights out, Sunday walks, and everything in between.
Our custom ASX denim fabric is made of a cotton/COOLMAX®/LYCRA® blend for ultimate comfort, free movement, and breathability. COOLMAX® is designed to keep moisture away from the skin making our denim 30% more breathable than traditional denim. It also holds thermo-regulating properties, keeping you warmer when it's cold out and cooler when it's warm out.
LYCRA® gives our denim 4X the stretch.
We added a gusset panel for stretch, free movement, and durability where you need it most. No more crotch rips!
You heard that right.. DEEP WOMEN'S POCKETS! I recently created a Tiktok video that hit 1.2 million views; showing the deep pockets on our women's denim. We are so glad you love them as much as we do. Women need deep pockets
We added a secure flap to the inside of the back pocket to help keep your valuables safe.
We coated the jeans with SILVERPLUS® finish making the jeans water-resistant, anti-odour, and anti-bacterial.
Reinforced Belt Loops, Sustainable Non-leather Backpatch & Extra Strong Thread.
Antur denim includes:
Reinforce the belt loops
A sustainable backpatch
Coats Epic EcoVerde® threading - a 100% recycled premium polyester core spun sewing thread that has been precisely engineered to create durable, attractive seams with greater abrasion resistance
Eco-friendly Metalware:
For the metal buttons and trims, we made sure not to use electroplating. By not using electroplating, we were able to create a finish on the trims using a tumbler as opposed to using chemicals for the desired finish. This meant zero chemicals, less water, and less electricity was used to produce them.
