Weekend errands in jeans that leave room to move

Some days ask for a pair of jeans that stays out of the way and goes with a tank top. These wide leg, high waisted jeans have a loose, baggy cut, a raw hem and a little stretch from 2% elastane, and they also come in Sky Blue, brown and burgundy.

The fabric is 65% cotton, 33% polyester and 2% elastane. Cotton carries most of the denim feel, polyester is the second largest share, and the small amount of elastane is what gives the cloth some give. The listing calls the denim good quality, sturdy and durable, but it gives no weight in ounces, so how heavy or soft it feels is not something the spec can tell you.

The cut is wide leg with a high waist, a loose baggy fit, a raw hem, side seams, a zipper and the basic five pockets. The listing says the wide leg shape leaves room for movement and breathability and suits a variety of leg types, which is its claim rather than a measurement. It also says to check the size chart before buying, and that matters with a baggy cut, since the listing gives no inseam or rise numbers.

Styling is a matter of taste, though the listing suggests a tank top, a tee or sneakers for every day, and says the jeans can be dressed up for an evening party, a weekend or a trip. The raw hem is said to add some rugged charm. Care is listed as machine wash, with no temperature given, and the jeans are imported. It also does not say how much the denim shrinks or fades, so those are open questions.
