Do these jeans stretch?

No. They are 100% cotton rigid denim with no stretch, so they hold their shape and soften with wear rather than flexing.

How do they fit compared with regular Gap jeans?

They run extra roomy through the hip and thigh with a baggy, slightly tapered leg. If you want a closer fit, Gap's regular or slim cuts are the better match.

Rigid cotton denim can shrink slightly with hot washing and drying. Wash cold and line dry to keep the fit and length.

What is the hammer loop for?

It is a carpenter-style side loop, a workwear detail carried over from utility pants. It is decorative on a casual jean.

Are they good for warm weather?

The cotton is breathable, but the rigid, heavier hand and baggy cut make them better for cooler days than light summer wear.

What does Washwell mean?

It is Gap's washing program that uses at least 20% less water than conventional wash methods, according to Gap.

Our take on the Gap Baggy Carpenter Jeans

These are Gap's baggy carpenter jeans in rigid 100% cotton denim with no stretch. The cut is extra roomy through the hip and thigh, with a slightly tapered leg that stacks at the shoe. Carpenter details include a hammer loop and five-pocket styling. They suit anyone who wants a loose, workwear-inspired silhouette that breaks in over time. Against stretch-denim rivals, the rigid fabric holds its shape and softens with wear, but it starts stiff and takes time to loosen. The Washwell wash and U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol cotton are the sustainability angle.
