FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and traditional denim manufacturing.

How do I care for my selvedge jeans?

To preserve the dark indigo and unique fades, it's recommended to wash them infrequently in cold water, inside out, and hang dry. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.

Will these jeans stretch?

The Stella jeans are made from low-stretch denim. They will have a slight give and mold to your body over time with wear, but they are not designed for significant stretch like jeans with elastane.

What does 'A-line silhouette' mean for the leg?

An A-line silhouette means the leg gradually widens from the hip down, resembling the shape of the letter 'A'. This creates a fuller, wider leg compared to a straight or tapered cut.

Can I wear these jeans with different types of shoes?

Yes, the wide leg cut is very versatile and pairs well with sneakers, boots, and heels. The turned-up hem also adds a stylistic element that works with various shoe styles.

What is the significance of the 19% recycled cotton?

Using recycled cotton reduces the environmental impact by utilizing pre-consumer or post-consumer cotton waste, conserving resources like water and energy compared to using virgin cotton.

How should I style the ultra-high waist?

The ultra-high waist is designed to be flattering. It looks great with tucked-in shirts, t-shirts, or cropped tops to emphasize the waistline. You can also layer with cardigans or jackets.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or tight initially.

This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to break in naturally. Movement and body heat will help them mold to your shape.

Color transfer to lighter fabrics.

Selvedge denim, especially dark rinses, can experience color transfer. Wash them separately or with dark colors for the first few washes. Be mindful when pairing with light-colored accessories or upholstery.

Hems feel too long or short.

The hems are tacked in place to showcase the selvedge. If the length is not ideal, consult a tailor for professional alteration. Avoid cutting the selvedge as it can unravel.
