    Product Story+

    Wide-leg denim in a vintage black wash with an exposed five-button fly, five-pocket construction and a white OPTIMISM. FASHION mark at the hip. Rigid denim held at a high rise, so the leg falls straight from the waistband to a full break.

    Materials+

    Rigid cotton denim, vintage 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.

    Care & Keeping+

    Made to be worn, not preserved. Cared for as directed below, rigid cotton denim, vintage 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.

    We would rather you order once. The first chart is your body; the second is the garment laid flat. Both are stated to the half inch and can vary a little from piece to piece, as cut cloth does.

    Questions+
    How should I size this piece?
    US standard sizing. Take your usual size. Size down only if you prefer a trim silhouette. High rise, wide through the leg, full break at the hem. The charts above give your body measurements and the garment laid flat, both to the half inch.
    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.
    When will it arrive?
    Checked against the house standard before dispatch. Sent within 5–7 business days. Flat USD 7 domestic shipping, 5–10 business days after dispatch. International arranged on request.
    Can I return or exchange it?
    30 days to return unworn pieces with tags attached.
    Will this be made again?
    Runs are small and finite. When a piece closes, it is held in the record rather than reproduced.
