Skater jeans with an Italian accent

Questions and answers

How does the Tapered Skater fit compare with a straight skater jean?

It is roomier through the thigh and seat but narrows below the knee to a slim ankle. A straight skater jean keeps width all the way to the hem.

Should I size down?

The top block is relaxed, so shoppers who want a closer thigh often size down. If you want the intended loose skater look, take your usual size.

What is in the box?

One pair of jeans. No belt, no extra laces or accessories are included.

Is this a good first designer jean?

Yes if you want a relaxed cut with visible branding. If you prefer understated denim, a plain five-pocket from a mainstream label is a safer start.

How should I care for the denim?

Wash cold and inside out, and hang to dry to protect the wash and fit. Avoid hot drying, which shrinks denim and fades dark washes.

Does it work for skateboarding?

The roomy thigh gives freedom of movement, but the tapered hem is tighter than dedicated skate pants. Check that the ankle clears your shoes.
