FAQs
What does 'rigid denim' mean?
Rigid denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed or treated to soften it. It's made from 100% cotton and will gradually soften and conform to your body with wear.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary. Some users find them comfortable after a few wears, while others may need several weeks of consistent wear for the denim to fully soften.
Can I machine wash these jeans?
Yes, but it's recommended to do so sparingly. Always wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent and air dry to preserve the color and fit.
What is the significance of the left-hand twill?
Left-hand twill denim tends to break in and fade differently than standard right-hand twill, often resulting in softer fabric and unique fades over time.
How do I care for the 'Dry Blue' wash?
To maintain the 'Dry Blue' wash, wash infrequently in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry. Embrace the natural fading that occurs with wear.
Are these jeans suitable for all seasons?
The heavyweight denim provides warmth, making them ideal for cooler weather. They can be worn in warmer months, but the heavier fabric may be less breathable than lighter-weight options.
What does MPN '112367284:30:32' mean?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. The numbers often indicate specific product variations, such as size (e.g., 30 for waist) and length (e.g., 32 for inseam).
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.
This is expected with rigid denim. Wear them frequently for short periods and gradually increase wear time. Washing them according to care instructions can also help soften the fabric.
Uneven fading or color loss.
Ensure you are washing the jeans inside out in cold water with minimal detergent, as per care instructions. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or spot cleaning with harsh chemicals.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always air dry jeans after washing. Avoid using a machine dryer, as the heat can cause significant shrinkage.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: To preserve the 'Dry Blue' wash and the integrity of the denim, it is recommended to wash infrequently. When washing is necessary, turn the jeans inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach.

- Maintenance: The rigid denim will naturally soften with wear. Avoid excessive stretching while damp. For minor marks, spot cleaning may be sufficient.
