The Owner’s Mission Statement

1 million miles, equivalent to 42 times around the Earth. One mission: find the perfect jeans.

“I started Ammode because I couldn’t find jeans that truly fit the life I was living.

Raised in the skies, I took my first international flight at six months old and by nineteen, I had logged over a million miles – not as a tourist, but as a global citizen. From solo travel at age five to boarding school at twelve, I grew up moving through the world — from Europe to Asia then the U.S.— always chasing new perspectives.

But somewhere between passport stamps and airport lounges, I realized that I needed jeans that could keep up. Not just stylish, but comfortable enough for long-haul flights. Not just flattering, but built to move, to explore, to last. I couldn’t find them — so I had to make them as a fashion student.

ammode is the result of that journey: obsessively curated, globally inspired, and designed for those who live boldly, travel far, and expect the exceptional.”

It’s more than denim. It’s a statement for those who stay still & seeks for comfort.

Logo

The representation of our commitment to creating pieces that you’ll love and last is etched in our design: the infinity “a” pocket. The double “A” embroidery can be found on the right back pocket of every ammode piece: the infinity reminiscent logo is a promise, a symbol of pride, and a badge of belonging.

Sustainability Commitment

Dedicated to reducing waste, we utilize deadstock lightweight denim and intentionally limit our production to combat fast-fashion practices

The logo of Ammode Studio features a stylized guitar headstock with text that reads 'Ammode Studio' in elegant script below the graphics.
