Questions and answers

How does the AMIRI MX1 fit compared with other skinny jeans?

It is a true skinny cut, close through the thigh, knee and ankle. The 2% elastane gives some give, but shoppers between sizes often size up for a less painted-on feel.

Is the distressing real or printed?

The rips and distressing are built into the garment, not printed on. Each pair is finished individually, so the placement of the tears can vary slightly.

What is the fabric blend?

It is 92% cotton with 2% elastane, with the remainder made up of other fibers. That gives it more structure than a high-stretch jegging but less rigidity than 100% cotton denim.

Can these jeans be worn outside casual settings?

The heavy distressing and panelling make them a casual, statement piece. They work for nights out and streetwear looks but are hard to dress up.

How should I care for the distressed detailing?

Wash cold and inside out, and skip the dryer. Heat and tumble drying speed up fraying at the ripped areas and can shrink the cotton.

Do the panelled seams affect sizing?

The panels add structure, so the jeans feel firmer across the seams than a standard skinny. If you are between sizes and want comfort, take the larger one.
