How does a straight-leg jean fit compared with a skinny jean?

It sits close at the hip and thigh but falls straight from the knee down instead of tapering to the ankle. Expect more room at the calf and a hem that covers the top of a shoe.

Is the vintage wash the same on every pair?

No. Washed and faded finishes vary from pair to pair, so two jeans in the same size can look slightly different. Treat the variation as part of the look.

Should I size up or down?

Straight-leg denim usually has little stretch, so take your normal waist size. Size up if you are between sizes or want a looser, slouchier fit.

What shoes work with a straight-leg jean?

Sneakers, loafers, ankle boots and block heels all work. The straight hem sits over most shoes without bunching, and you can cuff it for a shorter look.

How should I care for the vintage wash?

Wash cold and inside out, and skip the dryer to slow fading and shrinkage. Wash less often to keep the finish looking intentional rather than worn out.
