Which is better for everyday wear?

The Calla. Its mid-rise straight leg is the more neutral shape and works with more tops and shoes. The Uniform's wide leg makes a stronger statement.

Which sits higher on the waist?

The Uniform. It is high-rise, so the waistband sits at the natural waist. The Calla is mid-rise and sits lower, below the navel.

Is the organic cotton worth stepping up to?

If organic fiber matters to you, yes. The Calla uses rigid Italian 100% organic cotton; the Uniform uses 100% cotton without an organic claim.

Both are rigid 100% cotton, which holds shape and wears well over time. The deciding factor is fit, not durability.

Which is easier to get on and off?

The Uniform. Its zip fly fastens in one motion; the Calla's button fly takes several buttons each time.

No. Both are rigid denim with no stretch, so they break in rather than stretch out. Size for the seated fit.

DALA Uniform Jeans vs DALA Calla Straight Jean

Both are rigid 100% cotton DALA jeans made in Paraguay with a low-impact wash. The Uniform is a high-rise wide-leg with a zip fly; the Calla is a mid-rise straight leg with a button fly in Italian organic cotton. Pick the Uniform for a high waist and a roomy leg, the Calla for a straighter, more classic line and organic fabric. Owners of rigid denim report it holds shape and lasts, but breaks in stiffly at first.

Choose the Uniform Jeans if you want a high-rise waist, a relaxed wide leg and a zip fly for quick dressing.
Choose the Calla Straight Jean if you prefer a mid rise, a straight leg and a button fly in Italian organic cotton.
