Full details

The key benefit is their unique silhouette – fitted through the hips, ballooning out, and tapering to the ankle, offering a distinctive look.

FAQs
What does 'barrel fit' mean for these jeans?
The 'barrel fit' refers to a unique cut that is fitted through the hips, then balloons out through the thigh and knee area before tapering back in towards the ankle.
Are these jeans stretchy?
No, these jeans are made from rigid denim without any stretch for an authentic feel. They will mold to your body shape over time with wear.
What is the 'Modern Maker' wash?
The 'Modern Maker' wash is an authentic mid-blue denim color with natural-looking fading across the thigh, designed to give the jeans a pre-worn, vintage effect.
How should I care for rigid denim?
It's best to wash rigid denim infrequently, inside out, in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve the denim's integrity and shape.
Do these jeans contain recycled materials?
Yes, the denim used in these jeans contains post-consumer waste recycled cotton, contributing to a more sustainable fashion choice.
Will the jeans shrink after washing?
Rigid denim can experience some shrinkage, especially with heat. Washing in cold water and air drying or using a low tumble dry setting will help minimize shrinkage.
What kind of shoes pair best with these jeans?
The ankle-length cut and tapered leg work well with a variety of shoes, including sneakers, boots, and casual loafers. They are designed to highlight your footwear.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff or tight initially.
This is expected with rigid, non-stretch denim. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to break in naturally. Washing them inside out in cold water might also help soften the fabric slightly.
Uneven fading or color loss after washing.
Ensure you are washing the jeans inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive agitation. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended.
Tapered leg feels too narrow at the ankle.
The design features a slight taper. If the fit is too restrictive, consider if this particular cut aligns with your desired silhouette. For future purchases, explore other fits if a wider leg opening is preferred.
