Red Button jeans and trousers: inside the AW26 delivery
Red Button jeans are the pairs our customers ask for by name, and the autumn delivery has just arrived in Wetherby. Three washes of blue this season, from a dark evening-friendly pair to a vintage wash that comes with its own scarf, plus the fine cord trousers that take over when denim wants a rest.
The short version:
- Jeans arrived in three washes: dark used look, midstone with patch pockets, and vintage.
- The Caitlina fine cord came in twice, mud brown and navy.
- A punta trouser in navy covers the days that need a cleaner line than denim.
- Two new tops arrived alongside, including a feather-trim piece in ecru cream.
- Most styles run UK 8 to 16 and sit under £80.
Why Red Button fits the way it does
Red Button is designed in Amsterdam, and the whole label is built around one job: trousers you stop noticing the moment they are on. The denim carries real stretch and holds its shape through a full day rather than bagging by lunchtime. That is the reason customers who buy one pair tend to come back for the next colour rather than starting the search again.
It is also one of the most sensibly priced labels we carry. Almost everything in this delivery sits between £49 and £79, which for this fit is quietly remarkable.
The three washes
The Conny is the dark one. A deep used-look blue that reads almost smart, so it carries an evening as comfortably as a school run. If you own one pair of jeans for everything, this is the wash to own it in.
The Colette sits in the middle, a softer midstone blue with patch pockets across the front. Pockets like these change the character of a jean more than people expect. They make it read relaxed and a little bit seventies, without tipping into fancy dress.
Then the Brielle, the vintage wash, which arrives with its own matching scarf. Tie it at the neck, on the bag, or through a belt loop. It is a small thing that makes the pair feel finished before you have chosen a top.
Fine cord and punta
Once the mornings turn properly cold, cord takes over. The Caitlina is a fine needlecord rather than a chunky one, so it reads smarter than it feels, and it came in twice this season: a warm mud brown and a deep navy.
Beside the cords sits the Colette punta in navy. Punta is a dense jersey that behaves like tailoring, so this is the pair for days when denim feels too casual and a suit trouser feels too much. It holds a crease-clean line from morning to closing time.
How we wear them
The delivery came with its own tops. The Fiona in ecru cream carries a feather trim at the sleeve, and it is the piece that dresses every trouser on this page up for an evening. For daytime, the terry stripe tops in burgundy cream and brown cream do the easy work over the jeans.
One honest fitting-room note: rise and leg shape vary between Red Button styles, the same as any denim label. The Conny and Colette suit most shapes straight away, while the cords reward trying both colours because the fabrics sit slightly differently. Come in and we will get the right pair on you first time.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy Red Button jeans in the UK?
We stock Red Button at Olivia Grace in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, and the full collection is on our website. We hand-pick the styles each season rather than carrying the whole range, so what you see is the edit we would put on a customer ourselves. Ring us on 01937 585429 if you are after a particular style or size and we will tell you straight away whether we have it.
How do Red Button jeans fit?
Comfortably, which is the brand's whole argument. The denim carries real stretch and is cut to hold its shape through the day rather than bagging at the knee. Rise and leg shape still vary between styles, so if you are between sizes or new to the brand, come in and try two. The fit is the reason customers reorder in new colours without a second thought.
What sizes do Red Button trousers come in?
Most of the styles in the current delivery run UK 8 to 16. Sizes do sell through unevenly, especially in the popular washes, so if a style has caught your eye it is worth calling us to check your size is in stock before you travel. We are always happy to set a pair aside to try.
What is the difference between the Colette and the Caitlina?
The Colette is the wider family, covering jeans and punta jersey trousers, including this season's midstone patch-pocket jean and the navy punta pair. The Caitlina is the straighter cut, and this autumn it arrives as a fine needlecord in mud brown and navy. If you want one of each, a Colette in denim and a Caitlina in cord cover most of a week between them.
Can I try Red Button on in the shop?
Yes, the whole delivery is in the shop in Wetherby. Trousers are the piece we most recommend trying rather than ordering, because rise and leg length decide whether a pair gets worn and neither photographs well. Come in, bring the shoes you wear most, and we will find the pair that works. There is no obligation to buy anything.
