An all-rounder pair of jeans, with a relaxed fit and tapered leg that looks good turned up or down, and casual or smart. The 13.75oz raw selvedge denim from Candiani Mills is soft with a smooth finish. Made for everyday wear they look fantastic when the soft silhouette of your wallet or phone begins to emerge and such indexical traces of wear endear the garment to you, the owner. I wear mine with a single roll at the shoe, no break, but you have the option to roll these beauties as you wish. See below for further details, including general denim care.

General denim care:
- Cold wash only, or the denim will shrink 5%
- Wash inside out with mild detergent or none at all
- They are sanforized so will shrink in the length up to 1″, but shouldn’t shrink in the width
- Raw denim will give up to a 1 1/2″ in the waistband, so the fit should be snug (but not restrictive) to compensate
