Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff when new
This is characteristic of non-stretch cotton. Wear them regularly or wash once to expedite the softening process.
Difficulty with the button fly
Button flies may feel stiff initially. They will loosen up slightly with frequent use, making them easier to fasten.
Concerns about shrinkage
Always wash in cold water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to minimize fiber shrinkage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these jeans do not utilize elastane or other synthetic stretch materials, ensuring you select the correct waist size is essential for comfort. When caring for your 501s, it is recommended to wash them sparingly in cold water and hang them to dry to preserve the integrity of the 100% cotton fibers and prevent unwanted shrinkage. If you plan to customize your fit, do so after the initial break-in period to ensure you have an accurate assessment of how the fabric sits on your frame.
