Straight-Leg Denim — Faded Black

Relaxed straight-leg denim in a faded black wash with five-pocket construction and vertical OPTIMISM. FASHION artwork down the back left leg. Rigid denim, so the leg holds a clean straight line and breaks in to the wearer over time.

Rigid cotton denim, faded wash

Made in small runs and checked against the house standard — seam, print placement, hardware and label — before it is packed and sent. We describe the cloth as it is; weight and handfeel are what you will receive.

Made to be worn, not preserved. Cared for as directed below, rigid cotton denim, faded wash will hold its color, hand and line over time.

• Wash rarely — air the garment between wears
• Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle
• Wash separately for the first three washes; the wash will settle
• Hang dry away from direct sun
• Do not bleach or tumble dry — heat sets creases into rigid denim

Wash less than you think. Airing between wears keeps the garment newer than laundering it does.

Will the color or wash change over time?

Washed and dyed pieces settle with wear. Follow the care notes and the change stays even — that softening is part of the garment, not a fault.
