FAQs

What does 'rigid denim' mean?

Rigid denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed or treated to soften it. It is in its rawest form and will require a break-in period to become comfortable.

How long does it take to break in rigid denim?

The break-in period varies depending on wear frequency and intensity, but typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months of regular wear.

Can I machine wash these jeans?

Yes, but it is recommended to wash them sparingly in cold water, inside out, with mild detergent, and to air dry to maintain the denim's integrity and color.

What is the significance of the left-hand twill?

Left-hand twill typically has a tendency to soften faster and can result in a different type of fade pattern compared to standard right-hand twill.

What does 'Dry Blue' wash mean?

Dry Blue is a term used to describe a dark, unwashed or minimally processed indigo denim finish, offering a deep, classic blue appearance.

Are these jeans suitable for sensitive skin?

These jeans are made with a blend of conventional, organic, and recycled cotton, which may be suitable for many. However, individual reactions can vary. Check material composition for specific sensitivities.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is typical for rigid denim. Wear them regularly for short periods, and they will soften and conform to your body shape over time. Avoid excessive washing in the early stages.

Color bleeding onto other garments.

Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors, especially during the first few washes. Turn them inside out before washing.

Shrinkage after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and using a low heat setting for tumble drying, or preferably, hang drying. Avoid hot water and high heat drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These jeans arrive in a rigid state and are designed to be worn as is. Compatibility is primarily with casual and smart-casual wardrobes. For care, it is recommended to wash these jeans minimally to preserve their original color and allow for natural fading. When washing is necessary:

  1. Turn the jeans inside out.
  2. Wash with cold water and a mild detergent.
  3. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
  4. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat to minimize shrinkage and preserve fabric integrity.

Avoid washing with lighter colored garments to prevent color transfer.
