Frequently Asked
What rise should I look for?
Mid-rise works for most body types. High-rise elongates legs visually. Low-rise is harder to pull off unless you have a specific style in mind.
How much shrinkage should I expect?
Raw denim can shrink 1-2 inches. Pre-washed denim typically shrinks less than 0.5 inches. Always ask if the item is sanforized.
