FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality denim construction and is typically found on the outseam of the jeans, visible when the cuffs are rolled.

How should I care for my selvedge denim jeans?

To preserve the denim, wash them as infrequently as possible. When washing, use cold water, a gentle cycle, and turn the jeans inside out. Air dry them by hanging; avoid machine dryers. Minimal, color-safe detergent is recommended.

Will these jeans shrink?

As the denim is low stretch and made from cotton, some minor shrinkage may occur, especially with hot water washing or machine drying. It is best to wash in cold water and air dry to minimize shrinkage and maintain the intended fit.

What is the benefit of the A-line silhouette?

The A-line silhouette flares out from the waist, creating a flattering shape that is both modern and retro. It offers ample room for comfort and pairs well with various footwear.

Are these jeans suitable for all body types?

The high waist and wide leg are designed to be flattering on many body types. However, personal preference for fit and style can vary. Trying them on or referring to size charts is recommended.

What does 'Xion' refer to?

'Xion' refers to the specific dark navy rinse color of the denim. It's a deep indigo wash with traditional tobacco stitching.

Can I adjust the turn-up cuffs?

The turn-up cuffs are securely tacked in place to showcase the selvedge lines. While they can be carefully unpicked, it is not recommended as it may affect the garment's structure and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or tight initially.

This is normal for low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear the jeans for short periods initially and allow them to naturally mold to your body. Movement and natural wear will soften the fabric over time.

Color transfer onto other clothing or upholstery.

Selvedge denim, especially in dark rinses, can have excess dye. Wash the jeans separately in cold water for the first few washes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces until the excess dye has washed out.

Turn-up cuffs become uneven.

Gently refold the cuffs, ensuring they are even on both sides. If they consistently shift, a few discreet stitches on the inside of the cuff can help maintain their position without altering the visible appearance.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Highly compatible with a range of shoes, including sneakers, boots (ankle and knee-high), and heels. The wide leg and turn-up cuffs complement various styles.
  • Tops: Flatter high-waisted designs, making them ideal for pairing with cropped tops, t-shirts, blouses, and sweaters that can be tucked in or partially French-tucked.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and color of the selvedge denim:

  1. Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans infrequently. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jeans whenever possible. Hanging them to dry preserves the fabric's shape and minimizes shrinkage. Avoid using a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the denim fibers and cause excessive shrinking.
  3. Selvedge Care: To preserve the selvedge detail, avoid excessive agitation or abrasion during washing. Consider a minimal detergent that is color-safe.
