FAQs
What is selvedge denim?
Selvedge denim is woven on a special loom that produces a clean, finished edge. This prevents the fabric from unraveling and adds to the jeans' durability and premium look.
How do I measure for the correct waist size?
Measure around your natural waist, keeping the measuring tape snug but not tight. Refer to the Levi's size chart for specific measurements.
Can I put these jeans in the dryer?
It is not recommended. The heat from the dryer can cause shrinkage and damage the selvedge denim. Always air dry the jeans.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a gentle detergent designed for delicates or dark-colored clothing to preserve the color and the fabric's integrity.
How often should I wash these jeans?
Wash them as infrequently as possible to maintain their color and shape. Spot clean as needed.
What is the Big "E" Red Tab™?
The Big "E" Red Tab™ is a historical detail, representing an older era of Levi's jeans. It adds to the authenticity and value.
Where are these jeans made?
These jeans are made in Japan, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
What is the fit like?
These jeans feature a straight leg fit, providing a classic and versatile silhouette suitable for various body types.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff initially.
Wash the jeans inside out in cold water with a gentle detergent. Air dry to help soften the denim.
Jeans are too long.
Consult a tailor for professional hemming to maintain the original selvedge finish.
Color fading unevenly.
Wash the jeans inside out and avoid direct sunlight when drying.
