- How does the Temple fit compare with Rick Owens' Detroit cut?
- Temple is slimmer through the hip and thigh with a bootcut leg; Detroit is a straight, wider leg. Temple also runs longer, so it pools more over shoes.
- Do these jeans run true to size?
- They run close to Rick Owens' usual denim sizing, which is snug in the waist and thigh. Size up if you are between sizes or want a looser upper leg.
- Will I need to hem them?
- Most shoppers under about six feet will, since the inseam is cut long on purpose to stack over boots. Hem after trying them with the shoes you plan to wear.
- What shoes work with a bootcut this long?
- Chunky boots, platform sneakers and Rick Owens' own Geobasket or Ramones all fill the hem. Low-profile shoes will let the denim drag.
- Is the denim selvedge or rigid?
- It is a lighter, washed non-selvedge denim, so it drapes and fades faster than the brand's rigid black denim. Expect a softer hand from the start.
- How should I care for the washed blue denim?
- Wash cold and inside out, and hang dry to slow fading. Skip the dryer, which shrinks the leg and softens the bootcut line.
