FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often considered a mark of quality and authenticity in denim.

How do I care for my selvedge denim jeans?

Wash infrequently in cold water, inside out, with mild detergent. Hang dry and avoid the machine dryer to preserve the denim's integrity and color. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

What is the benefit of the ultra-high waist?

The ultra-high waist is designed to sit at your natural waistline, creating a flattering and elongating effect, especially when paired with tucked-in tops.

Can I adjust the length of the jeans?

The hems are turned up and tacked to showcase the selvedge. While alterations are possible, they may affect the intended design and the visibility of the selvedge detail.

What does 'low stretch' mean for comfort?

Low-stretch denim offers durability and retains its shape well but may feel a bit stiff at first. It will gradually conform to your body with wear, becoming more comfortable over time.

How does the A-line silhouette differ from a standard wide leg?

An A-line silhouette gradually widens from the hip downwards, creating a more pronounced flare than a standard wide leg which typically maintains a consistent width from the thigh or knee.

What is the significance of the recycled cotton content?

The inclusion of 19% recycled cotton reduces the environmental impact by utilizing pre-consumer or post-consumer cotton waste, conserving resources compared to using only virgin cotton.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff initially.

This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to naturally break in with body heat and movement. Avoid excessive washing.

Color fading unevenly.

This can be a characteristic of selvedge denim. To minimize this, wash inside out in cold water and avoid harsh detergents. Excessive washing will accelerate fading.

Hems are too long/short.

The hems are tacked and turned up to display the selvedge. Altering them may compromise the selvedge detailing. Consider if the length works with your intended footwear before purchasing or attempting alterations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and color of the selvedge denim, it is recommended to follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Wash infrequently to preserve the denim's character. When washing is necessary, turn the jeans inside out and wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent, preferably one designed for dark colors or denim. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  3. Drying: Hang dry the jeans away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid using a machine dryer, as this can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and iron the jeans inside out.
