Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight initially
The 99% cotton denim with moderate stretch will adapt to your body with wear. Try wearing them for a few hours to allow them to break in. Ensure you selected the correct size based on the provided measurements.
Color fading unevenly
This is often a characteristic of the Artax wash, designed to look worn. For more uniform care, wash inside out in cold water with minimal agitation and avoid high heat during drying.
Zipper is stiff
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
