12.5 oz refers to the weight of the denim fabric per square yard, indicating a medium-heavyweight denim. 'Rigid' means the denim has not been pre-washed or treated to be soft, so it will initially feel stiff and will soften and break in over time, molding to your body and developing unique wear patterns.

To best preserve the color and unique character, wash them as infrequently as possible. When washing, turn them inside out, use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, color-safe detergent, and always air dry. Avoid machine drying completely.

The Steady Eddie II features a regular tapered fit. This means it has a regular rise, offers a comfortable amount of room through the thigh, and then gradually tapers down to a narrow leg opening from the knee to the ankle. It's a versatile fit that is neither too slim nor too loose.
