FAQs

What does 'high-rise' mean for these jeans?

A high-rise fit means the waistband sits at or above your natural waistline, typically covering the navel.

How do I best style the bootcut flare?

The bootcut flare is designed to be worn with shoes that have a bit of a heel or a thicker sole, like boots or platform sneakers, to balance the silhouette.

Is the 'Black Wax' finish permanent?

The 'Black Wax' finish provides a unique look and feel. While hand washing and careful drying will help preserve it, like any finish on denim, it may evolve subtly over time with wear.

Can these jeans be tailored?

Yes, like most denim, these jeans can be tailored. However, alterations should be performed by a professional tailor experienced with denim to maintain the garment's structure and appearance.

What is the difference between the various MPN numbers for these jeans?

The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) typically corresponds to specific size and color variations of the same product model. For instance, different MPNs may exist for different waist sizes within the black colorway.

Are there other colors available for the Bolan Banana jeans?

While this guide focuses on the black variant, other color options might be available depending on the collection and season. Please check the brand's available offerings.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff after washing.

This can be normal for denim, especially with the 'Black Wax' finish. Wear them to soften the fabric or gently stretch them while damp.

Color transfer to other clothing.

Due to the nature of dyed denim, some color transfer may occur initially. Wash separately for the first few washes and avoid contact with light-colored fabrics until several washes have occurred.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth can help smooth its movement.

Fit is too tight or too loose.

Refer to the size chart before purchasing. As these are 100% cotton, they may have slight shrinkage after washing. If the fit is significantly off, consider the different sizes available in the Bolan Banana model.
