Product Insights
This high-rise, wide-leg jean offers a lightweight cotton-linen blend that breathes better than stretch denim, with linen's triple strength reducing blowout risk. Its 12.5-inch rise sits above the navel, while a 26.5-inch cropped inseam requires low-profile shoes to preserve the leg line. The no-stretch fabric holds its shape without bagging, but sizing up is advised if between sizes to avoid gape. Linen slubs create a visible texture that reads as handcrafted. At $69.95 (44% off), it undercuts similar styles from major brands by over 50%. Separate cold washing is needed initially to prevent indigo bleed.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Rigid cotton-linen denim with no elastane holds its shape without bagging out; if between sizes, sizing up may be more comfortable for the wide-leg fit.
- Durability
- Linen is roughly three times stronger than cotton, so the blend resists tearing and holds its shape better than all-cotton denim.
- Breathability
- The cotton-linen denim's breathability is structural—hollow linen fibers and an open weave—so even the full-length wide leg won't trap heat like a standard rigid jean.
- Fabric
- Linen makes the denim more breathable than all-cotton.
- Rise
- 12.5-inch rise – 2.5 inches above typical high-rise, hitting above navel.
- Stretch
- Lightweight 64% reprocessed cotton, 36% linen with no elastane holds shape.
- Inseam
- 26.5-inch inseam creates a cropped length, landing at or above the ankle.
- Drape
- Lightweight linen denim gives the wide leg a trouser-like drape that holds its shape.
- Value
- At $69.95 (44% off), this jean undercuts Calvin Klein and Banana Republic by >50%.
- Construction
- Structured denim construction with zip fly, button closure, and belt loops.
- Silhouette
- High rise and cropped inseam require low-profile shoes to preserve leg line.
- Versatility
- Dark wash and patch pockets style best with simple, fitted tops for a polished look.
- Indigo bleed
- The dark indigo wash can bleed initially; washing separately in cold water with like colors for the first several washes is recommended.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on gentle cycle and air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fit.
- Pocket design
- Oversized front patch pockets are a 1970s workwear-inspired visual anchor.
- Styling
- Fitted tops prevent the pockets from overwhelming; dark wash adds polished versatility.
- Texture
- Linen slubs create a visible, irregular grain that reads as handcrafted.
- Rise position
- The 12.5-inch rise places the waistband at or slightly above the navel for most wearers.
- Moisture management
- The linen denim wicks moisture and dries faster than all-cotton denim, resisting a clammy feel on humid days.
- Hip fit
- The wide leg hangs with a soft flow and is forgiving across the hips without flaring excessively.
