Product Information
Full details
The Khaite Karo Jeans in Blue (W26) are designed for adult females seeking a relaxed yet polished casual look. The key benefit is their unique bowed silhouette created by curved seams, offering a distinctive style. A caveat to consider is that the hand-finished indigo dye may transfer, requiring careful washing and avoidance of lighter fabrics. These jeans are made from 100% cotton rigid denim and feature a classic five-pocket design with a zipper fly and button fastening, along with turn-up hems.

FAQs
What does 'rigid denim' mean?
Rigid denim is 100% cotton denim that has not been pre-washed or treated with stretch fibers. It offers a classic, durable feel that molds to your body over time.
How do I best achieve the 'bowed leg silhouette'?
The silhouette is created by the curved seams. Ensure the jeans fit comfortably around the waist and hips. The fabric will naturally drape to create the bowed effect as you move.
Can I machine wash these jeans?
The care instructions specify dry clean only. Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and the unique hand-finished wash.
What is the 'Benson wash'?
The Benson wash refers to the specific indigo dye and hand-finishing process used on these jeans, giving them their unique color and appearance.
How should I store these jeans to prevent dye transfer?
Store them away from direct sunlight and avoid folding them onto or alongside very light-colored garments. Consider hanging them or folding them with the inside facing out.
What does 'low-rise' mean for this specific jean?
A low-rise waist sits significantly below the natural waistline, typically resting on the hips.
Are these jeans stretchy?
No, these jeans are made from 100% cotton rigid denim and do not contain any stretch fibers.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with rigid denim. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Movement and body heat will help break them in over time.
Dye transferring to other clothing or surfaces
Ensure you follow the care instructions strictly. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter materials, especially when the jeans are new or damp. Wash them separately or dry clean as recommended.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Hemline looks uneven after washing/wearing
The turn-up hems are designed for adjustable styling. Ensure they are folded evenly. If there is a permanent issue with the stitching, consult a tailor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These jeans require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you try them on to confirm the fit before removing any tags.
Compatibility: These jeans are designed for adult females. They pair well with a variety of tops, shoes, and accessories, offering flexibility in styling. Their unique silhouette makes them a statement piece that can anchor an outfit.
Care Instructions:
- Dry Clean Only: This is the recommended method to maintain the fabric's integrity and the unique wash.
- Dye Transfer Warning: Avoid contact with lighter-colored fabrics, upholstery, or surfaces as the indigo dye may transfer. This is particularly important when the jeans are new or wet.
- Freezer Method (Alternative): For a less intensive approach, placing the jeans in the freezer overnight can help reduce odor and freshen them. However, dry cleaning is still the primary recommended care method.
- Hand Wash (Alternative): If opting for hand washing, use cold water and minimal detergent, and wash separately. However, this method is less preferred than dry cleaning for preserving the garment's original quality.
