FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim refers to denim woven on a specialized loom that produces a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') to prevent fraying. This edge is often visible on the outseam and is a mark of quality craftsmanship.

How much do these jeans stretch?

These jeans are made from 13.25oz low-stretch denim, meaning they have minimal elastane or stretch fibers. They will stretch slightly over time as they conform to your body.

What is the 'Xion' rinse?

Xion is the specific name given to the beautiful dark navy rinse applied to these jeans, providing a classic and versatile dark wash appearance.

Can I alter the length of the jeans?

The hems are turned up and tacked to showcase the selvedge lines. While technically possible to alter, it would involve undoing the existing tacking and may change the intended aesthetic. It's recommended to choose the size that best fits your desired length.

How do I care for jeans with recycled cotton?

Care for jeans with recycled cotton as you would traditional denim: wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle, and air dry. This helps preserve the fabric and reduce environmental impact.

What is the fit of the London jean?

The London jean is a regular fit style that hugs the waist and hips, then falls straight from the knee to the ankle. It features a flattering mid-rise.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is typical for low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear the jeans frequently for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your body shape. Avoid excessive washing during the break-in phase.

Color transfer onto lighter clothing or furniture.

New denim, especially dark rinses, can experience some color bleeding. Wash the jeans separately for the first few washes, and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces until after several washes.

Hems are too long or too short.

The hems are intentionally turned up and tacked to display the selvedge. Altering the hem length will involve undoing this tacking and may affect the intended design. If a specific length is crucial, consider alternative styles or consult a tailor experienced with denim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless straight-leg cut that flatters various body types.
  • High-quality selvedge denim that ages well.
  • Versatile styling options due to the full-length leg and straight silhouette.
  • Sustainable material component (recycled cotton).
  • Classic dark navy wash suitable for many occasions.

Cons

  • Low-stretch denim may require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Selvedge denim can be less forgiving than stretch denim for some individuals.
  • Tacked-up hems mean the length is fixed and cannot be easily altered without impacting the selvedge detail.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the selvedge denim and the dark navy rinse, it is recommended to wash these jeans infrequently. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out, zip up, and wash with cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. For drying, hang them to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Some shrinkage may occur after the first wash, especially in warmer water; consider this when choosing your size. These jeans are designed for adult women and are compatible with standard clothing care practices.
