How does the Blake fit compared with other Hudson jeans?

It is slimmer than the relaxed Byron and less tapered than Hudson's skinny fits. Expect a close thigh and a straight leg from the knee down.

Is the Blake stretchy?

Yes. It is a cotton blend with modal, rayon and a small amount of spandex, so it gives through the seat and thigh. It is not a rigid selvedge-style jean.

What is the rise on the Blake?

It is a mid rise, sitting below the navel. That suits shoppers who find low-rise jeans uncomfortable but do not want a high waistband.

How should I wash them?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang or lay flat to dry. Heat from a dryer breaks down the stretch fibers faster.

What is in the fabric?

The blend is mostly cotton with modal, rayon and about 1% spandex. That mix gives the soft hand and the stretch.

Do the sizes run true?

Most buyers say the waist runs true, but several report the fit shifting between colors and washes. Check the specific pair's measurements if you can.
