FAQs
What does 'Barrel Jean' mean?
A Barrel Jean refers to the specific cut of the denim. It's characterized by being fitted through the hips and then ballooning out significantly before tapering back in towards the ankle, creating a unique silhouette.
Is this denim stretchy?

What is the 'Modern Maker' wash?
The Modern Maker wash is an authentic mid-blue denim color with fading across the thigh, designed to mimic a naturally worn-in effect.
How do I care for rigid denim jeans?
To preserve the integrity and color of rigid denim, it's recommended to wash them infrequently in cold water, inside out, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid excessive heat and harsh detergents.
What kind of shoes pair best with these jeans?
The slightly shorter inseam and tapered leg make these jeans versatile. They pair well with sneakers, boots, loafers, and other casual footwear, allowing your shoes to be a focal point.
Does the denim contain any recycled materials?
Yes, this denim contains post-consumer waste recycled cotton, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff initially.
This is normal for rigid denim. Wear them regularly for extended periods to allow the denim to break in and soften. Washing them inside out in cold water can also help.
Inconsistent fit after washing.
Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat drying, which can cause shrinkage and alter the fit. Follow care label instructions precisely.
Fading seems uneven.
The Modern Maker wash is designed to have natural fading. Slight variations are part of the authentic, worn-in look. Ensure you are washing them according to care instructions to maintain the intended appearance.
