Some variants of the 514 style may include stretch in the denim for added comfort. Check the specific product description for fabric composition details.

It's recommended to wash denim as infrequently as possible to preserve color and fit. When washing, use cold water and mild detergent, and air dry or tumble dry on low.

Wash the jeans alone or with like colors in cold water and tumble dry on a low setting. Wear them regularly to help break in the denim naturally.

To minimize uneven fading, wash the jeans inside out. For washes that are designed to fade, this is a natural characteristic. If this is not desired, wash less frequently and follow care instructions closely.

Denim can vary slightly between production runs. If sizing is critical, try on the jeans before purchasing or check the specific fabric composition (e.g., stretch denim may fit differently) for the pair you are considering.
