Q: What's the difference between the five washes?
A: Our denim is grouped into five different wash categories. Dark, Medium, and Light refer to indigo denim at three different levels of fading. Dark washes have minimal to no fading. Medium washes have mild to moderate fading. Light washes are more extensively faded. We also group denim by Black and Ecru washes. Black washes are dyed black rather than indigo, and can feature some degree of fading. Ecru is undyed, closer to natural cotton than to a bleached white, though the category also includes our optic white washes.

Q: What's the difference between non-stretch and stretch denim?
A: Non-stretch denim refers to fabrics not woven with stretch. This includes Featherweight, our soft denim with an inherent drape that is fluid, not flexible; and Rigid, a structured denim designed to break in beautifully over time. Stretch denim is any fabric woven with elastic fibers for extra comfort, easier movement, and greater recovery, which means they fit your body and maintain their shape from first through every wear. Our stretch denim includes Vintage Stretch, Stretch Featherweight, and Flexi.

We currently offer ankle-length fits in wide-leg, straight, slim, skinny, and boyfriend leg shapes.
