FAQs

How high is the rise on these jeans?

The Ribcage Wide Leg features a 30cm super-high rise, designed to sit well above the hips.

Are these jeans stretchy?

These are primarily made of denim which generally offers a more structured, classic feel. Check the specific care tag, but most pairs have limited stretch compared to modern super-stretch jeans.

What shoes look best with wide leg jeans?

Platform sneakers, block-heel boots, and mules work exceptionally well to maintain the proportions of the wide leg.

Should I wash these in hot water?

No, always wash in cold water to prevent shrinking and color fading.

How should I measure my waist for this size?

Measure at your natural waistline, which is usually the narrowest part of your torso, located about an inch or two above your belly button.

Can I tumble dry the Ribcage jeans?

Air drying is best for denim longevity, but if you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible to minimize shrinkage.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel too tight at the waist

High-rise jeans sit higher than standard mid-rise pairs; try sizing up one waist size if you prefer a more relaxed fit.

Hem is too long and drags on the ground

The wide-leg cut is intended to be worn with shoes that add height; if they are still too long, consider having them professionally hemmed to your inseam.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Denim often feels stiff after air drying; wear them for a few hours to allow your body heat to soften the fibers, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting for 5 minutes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally high rise helps define and slim the waistline
  • Wide-leg cut offers excellent freedom of movement
  • Timeless vintage aesthetic that pairs well with various tops
  • Durable denim fabric designed for long-term wear

Cons

  • Wide leg style may require specific shoe heights to avoid dragging
  • Extremely high rise may feel restrictive for some users when sitting
  • Limited stretch compared to modern jeggings or skinny jeans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Finding the right fit is crucial with the Levi's Ribcage series. As they feature a high-rise waist, ensure you measure at your true waist—typically just above the belly button—rather than the hips. For care, always check the interior garment label for specific instructions. To preserve the color and fiber integrity of your denim, wash them inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinkage and keep the denim fabric from becoming brittle over time. Avoid frequent washing to keep the denim’s natural color and structural integrity intact for as long as possible.
