FAQs
What does 'Ribcage Bell' refer to?
This refers to the extremely high rise ('Ribcage') combined with the flared leg opening ('Bell').
How should I size these jeans?
Refer to standard Levis sizing charts. These jeans have a 12-inch rise, which sits higher than typical jeans, so consider this when choosing your waist size.
Can I wear these with heels?
Yes, the flared leg is designed to complement heeled boots and shoes, creating a dramatic and elongating effect.
What is the material composition?
The jeans are made from 99% Cotton and 1% Elastane, providing a primarily cotton feel with a touch of stretch for comfort.
Are these jeans stretchy?
They contain 1% elastane, offering a minimal amount of stretch. The primary material is cotton, so they will break in and conform to your body over time rather than having significant elasticity.
How do I care for my Ribcage Bell Jeans?
Machine wash them inside out with like colors in cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach.
Will these jeans shrink?
Some minimal shrinkage may occur, especially if dried on high heat. Following the care instructions, particularly using cold water and low heat for drying, will help minimize shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight initially
The 1% elastane provides a slight give. Wear them around the house to allow them to mold to your body shape. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can cause shrinkage.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently move the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the teeth.
Flared leg looks too wide
Consider pairing with footwear that balances the flare, such as platform shoes or boots. For a subtler effect, a tailor can slightly adjust the width of the flare.
Color fades after washing
Wash the jeans inside out in cold water with similar colors. Use a detergent designed for dark colors and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Line drying can also help preserve color.
