How does 14-oz. denim compare with typical women's jeans?

Most women's jeans use 8- to 11-oz. denim, often with elastane. At 14 oz. this is a heavier, stiffer cloth with no stretch, so it holds its shape and wears longer but feels firm at first.

Heavy non-stretch denim commonly shrinks some on the first wash, especially in length. Cold water and line drying limit it; hot water and a dryer increase it.

How should I size them?

Rigid denim gives little, so pick the size that fits snugly at the waist and hips from the start. They relax slightly with wear rather than stretching out.

Are they good for warm weather?

Less so. The 14-oz. cloth is thick and warm; lighter-weight denim suits summer better.

What pockets do they have?

Classic five-pocket construction: two curved front pockets, a coin pocket and two back pockets.

Do they work for casual and dressier outfits?

Yes. The clean straight leg reads casual with tees and sneakers and can be dressed up with a blouse and boots.

Our take on the Women's 14-oz. Straight-Leg Jeans

These are women's straight-leg jeans in heavy 14-oz. denim, a weight closer to raw and workwear denim than the stretch blends most women's jeans use. The straight cut keeps room through the thigh and knee without excess fabric, and a contoured waistband is cut to sit closer at the small of the back. Five-pocket construction with curved front pockets and a coin pocket covers everyday carry. They suit shoppers who want a structured, durable pair that holds its shape and breaks in over time; anyone who wants stretch or a soft first wear should look at lighter, elastane-blend jeans instead.
