FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') along the fabric width. This often indicates higher quality denim and is traditionally associated with classic jeans craftsmanship.

How do I best showcase the selvedge lines?

The selvedge lines are most visible when you cuff or roll the hem of your jeans. The tacked turn-ups are designed to facilitate this.

Can I machine dry these jeans?

Yes, you can tumble dry them on a low heat setting. However, hanging them to air dry is recommended to minimize potential shrinkage and preserve the denim's quality.

What is the benefit of the recycled cotton?

Using recycled cotton reduces the environmental impact by reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded, requiring less water and energy compared to producing virgin cotton.

How does the 'Richter' wash differ from other washes?

The Richter wash is a specific rich blue color that features subtle, authentic wear through the thigh area, designed to highlight the depth and texture of the selvedge twill weave.

Are these jeans suitable for all body types?

The loose fit is designed to be comfortable and forgiving. While it offers a relaxed silhouette, individual fit preferences vary, and it's best to consult the size chart.

What does 'low stretch' mean for comfort?

Low-stretch denim has minimal elastane, meaning it retains its shape well and offers a more durable, traditional denim feel. It will conform to your body over time with wear, offering comfort unique to the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them frequently for a few days; they will soften and mold to your body with wear.

Unexpected fading or color loss.

Ensure you are washing them inside-out in cold water with like colors, and using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleaching.

Seam or stitching issues.

Inspect the garment upon arrival. For any manufacturing defects, contact customer support with your proof of purchase.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying a different size if the fit is not as expected. The loose fit is intentional; ensure this style aligns with your preference.
