FAQs

What does 'Red Cast' mean?

'Red Cast' refers to the specific dyeing process used for these jeans, giving them a unique reddish hue inherent to the vintage denim wash. It's a stylistic choice to replicate a look from the 1950s.

Are these jeans made of 100% cotton?

Yes, the product description indicates they are made of Cotton, typical for authentic vintage-style denim.

How do I choose the right size?

It's recommended to consult the brand's size chart for accurate waist and inseam measurements. The '101 50's Rider' is a regular fit with a straight leg.

Can I machine wash these jeans?

Yes, you can machine wash them. It is advised to wash them inside out in cold water with a mild detergent to preserve the color and fabric.

What is the main difference between this and modern slim-fit jeans?

The 101 50's Rider is a reproduction of a 1950s fit. It features a regular, straight leg, offering more room than modern slim or skinny fits, and has specific vintage design details like pocket placement.

How should I care for the 'Red Cast' finish?

To best maintain the 'Red Cast' finish, wash the jeans infrequently, inside out, in cold water, and use a low heat setting for drying or opt for air drying.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff initially.

This is normal for 100% cotton denim. Wear them regularly, and they will soften with use and washing.

Color is fading unevenly.

This is a characteristic of vintage-style washes. If you prefer a more uniform look, wash less frequently and follow care instructions carefully.

Jeans seem to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are using cold water and a low heat setting for drying. Pre-shrunk denim can still experience minor shrinkage.

Fit is not as expected.

Refer to the size guide for specific measurements. The 'Regular Fit - Straight Leg' is designed to be neither too tight nor too loose.
