FAQs
What does 'loose fit' mean for these jeans?
The 'loose fit' indicates that the jeans have a more relaxed cut through the thigh, knee, and leg opening compared to more traditional or slim-fit styles, offering greater comfort and ease of movement.
Is the denim stretchy?
No, these jeans are made from stretch-free 100% cotton denim, providing an authentic, rigid feel characteristic of traditional workwear.
What is the 'Cyrus' wash?
The 'Cyrus' wash refers to a specific color treatment for the denim, described as a clean, rich blue that effectively showcases the texture of the twill weave.
How should I care for my 100% cotton jeans?
Machine wash in cold water with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat to minimize shrinkage and preserve the fabric's integrity and color.
Do these jeans contain recycled materials?
Yes, the denim is made with 100% cotton, which includes post-consumer waste recycled cotton.
What are the classic carpenter details?
The classic carpenter details include chino-style pockets for easy access and a hammer loop, providing functional elements inspired by traditional workwear.
Can I wear these for heavy-duty work?
While designed with workwear aesthetics and durability in mind, the 100% rigid cotton may require a break-in period. They are suitable for lighter to moderate work or for a durable everyday option.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff initially.
This is expected with 100% rigid cotton denim. Wear them regularly for extended periods to break in the fabric. Washing them inside out in cold water and air drying can also help soften the material over time.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low heat setting or air drying. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, which can cause significant shrinkage in 100% cotton garments.
Color fades unevenly.
Wash the jeans inside out with like colors in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. For washes that intentionally involve some fading, this is a natural characteristic of the denim.
Hammer loop placement is awkward.
The placement of workwear features like hammer loops can vary. If it is not useful for your intended purpose, consider it a stylistic element of the workwear aesthetic.
