FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim refers to denim produced on narrow shuttle looms. It has a finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying and unraveling, often visible on the outseam and sometimes displayed when the cuffs are rolled.

How do I care for my selvedge jeans?

Care for them like regular denim but avoid over-washing. Wash cold, inside out, and hang dry if possible. This helps preserve the fabric's integrity and the wash details.

Are these jeans true to size?

Based on typical sizing for this model, they are designed for a standard fit. It's recommended to consult the size chart and consider the low-stretch nature of the denim. Some users prefer to size up slightly for a looser fit initially.

What is the 'Richter' wash?

The Richter wash is a specific deep blue denim color with subtle, authentic wear marks on the thigh, designed to mimic natural fading and add character.

Can I alter the length of these jeans?

Yes, you can alter the length. However, be aware that cutting selvedge denim requires careful attention to prevent fraying. It is best to have this done by a professional tailor who understands how to handle selvedge edges.

What is the benefit of the 19% recycled cotton?

The inclusion of recycled cotton reduces the environmental impact by utilizing pre- or post-consumer cotton waste, conserving resources compared to using only virgin cotton.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or tight initially

This is typical for low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them regularly for a few days to allow the fabric to break in and conform to your body. Avoid excessive washing initially.

Color bleeding during first few washes

Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors in cold water for the first few washes to prevent color transfer to other garments.

Uneven wear pattern develops too quickly

Ensure you are washing them according to the care instructions. Consistent wear and proper washing will lead to natural fading over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These jeans are ready to wear straight from the purchase. Their primary compatibility is with casual and semi-casual attire. To maintain the integrity and appearance of the denim:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve fabric quality. Avoid high heat.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting while the garment is still slightly damp, or inside out.
  4. Selvedge Care: Be mindful of the selvedge edge if considering alterations. Professional tailoring is recommended.
