Polar Skate Co

Polar’s Big Boy Jeans are one of the defining silhouettes in
modern skateboarding – a properly baggy, wide-leg jean that landed while
everything else was going slim. Designed by Pontus Alv with skating in mind,
they’ve got room through the thigh and knee and are built from tough denim that
can take a beating.

They’ve since become a reference point for the wider baggy
trend, but Polar were ahead of the curve. Alongside the Big Boy, the range now
includes the ’89!, ’91! and ’93!  all
slight tweaks on the original.

Polar Skate Co. was founded in Malmö, Sweden in 2011 by Pontus Alv, the man behind renowned videos such as Strongest Of The Strange and In Search of the Miraculous.

Despite its size, Malmö has had a huge impact on global skateboarding – home to Bryggeriet and some incredible DIYs and a seriously influential scene
Polar is a direct product of that. The brand still operates out of Malmö, with much of the production kept in Europe. They’re easily one of the best in the industry.

Generally, yes – but the fit is intentionally relaxed.

Denim runs true to size, with the Big Boy and ’89! being the loosest, while the ’91! and ’93! taper slightly more. If you’re between sizes, going up usually keeps the intended silhouette.

Tops are boxy and generous. Size down if you want something neater, but the roomy fit is kind of the point.
