The denim guide.

Everything you need to choose a fit, understand the cloth, and keep your denim wearing well for years. No magic claims — just how denim actually behaves.

Find your fit

Five ways to wear a leg.

Straight

Cut straight from hip to hem. The default — works on most bodies.

Slim Tapered

Close through the thigh, narrowing to the ankle. A touch of stretch.

Wide

High waist, column-straight leg. Long, easy drape.

High-Rise Mom

Sits at the true waist, tapers to a cropped ankle. Vintage cut.

Cargo

Relaxed with bellowed side pockets. Straight or harem leg.

Get the size right

Measure once, wear forever.

Lay a pair that fits you flat and measure the waist edge-to-edge, then double it. Compare against the size chart on each product page (we list waist, hip and inseam in both centimetres and inches, with US/EU/UK references).

  • Between sizes? Size up for a relaxed feel, down for a closer fit.
  • Rigid (non-stretch) denim relaxes about half a size with wear.
  • Expect 3–5% shrinkage on the first wash — that is normal for natural cotton.
  • Measurements are taken flat and may vary ±1 cm.
Read the cloth

Denim weight, explained.

6–8 oz

Lightweight

Shirts and hats. Soft from day one, easy to layer.

10–12 oz

Mid-weight

Most jeans, skirts and the cropped jacket. Everyday denim.

13–14 oz

Heavyweight

Cargo and the trucker. Stiff at first, breaks in to you.

Make it last

Wash less, wear more.

The care label

  • Wash cold, inside out, only when you really need to.
  • Hang or line dry to hold the shape; skip the hot tumble dryer.
  • Spot-clean small marks instead of a full wash.
  • Natural indigo may transfer slightly when new — wash separately the first time.
  • Store folded or hung; let damp denim dry fully before putting it away.
