Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for non-stretch denim. Wear them frequently for short periods, and they will soften and conform to your body with use. You can also try washing them once to help break them in.
Jeans appear too large or too small after first wear.
Ensure you selected the correct size based on the size guide. Non-stretch denim can feel different than stretch fabrics. If significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size. Be aware of potential shrinkage after washing.
Color fades unevenly.
This is a characteristic of some denim washes. To minimize uneven fading, wash them inside out in cold water with similar colors, and avoid excessive heat during drying.
