FAQ: Washing, Styles, and Fit
How should jeans be washed?
Wash infrequently: Denim is best washed as little as possible to preserve color, fit, and fiber strength. Instead, air them out outdoors as needed.
Gentle wash: When washing is necessary, wash jeans inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with low spin speed.
Use a gentle detergent: Use liquid detergent without bleach and avoid fabric softener, as it damages the elastane and unnecessarily softens the cotton fibers.
No tumble drying: Always hang jeans to air dry. Tumble drying wears down the fabric and can cause jeans to shrink or lose their fit.
How should jeans fit?
At the waist/hips: Jeans should fit snugly around the waist or hips without cutting in or slipping down.
With or without stretch: 100% cotton jeans typically stretch 0.5–1 size with wear and should fit snugly from the start. Jeans with elastane (stretch) stretch less and should fit comfortably right away.
Length: For straight and slim fits, the hem should rest just above the top of the shoe. Wider styles may fall softly over the shoe, while cropped silhouettes end just above the ankle.
What’s the difference between straight fit, wide/loose fit, slim fit, and tapered fit?
Straight Fit: Features a completely straight cut from the hip down to the ankle opening, creating a timeless, classic, and neutral silhouette.
Wide Fit / Loose Fit: Offers extra width throughout the leg with plenty of room at the thighs and calves, creating a more relaxed look.
Slim Fit: Fits closer to the body along the thighs and calves without being skin-tight, creating a more form-fitting silhouette.
Tapered Fit: Offers plenty of room around the thighs and seat but gradually tapers from the knee down toward the ankle for a modern, tapered look.
