What is the fabric blend?

It is 98% cotton and 2% elastane. The elastane gives the denim a small amount of stretch, while the cotton keeps it feeling like traditional denim.

What does ankle length mean here?

The straight leg is cut to finish at the ankle rather than stacking on the shoe. Expect the hem to sit above or at the top of most footwear.

Five flat pockets, the standard five-pocket jean layout.

With only 2% elastane, they hold their shape better than high-stretch denim, but expect a little give at the knees and seat over a day of wear.

Wash cold and inside out, and line dry or tumble low. Heat is what shrinks cotton denim and wears out elastane.

It sits in between: mostly cotton with a small stretch component, so it is softer than rigid selvedge-style denim but not a stretch skinny.
