Material Composition
This jean is 93% cotton, providing the structure, weight, and texture characteristic of traditional denim construction - the cotton content is dominant enough that the fabric behaves primarily as denim. The 5% polyester adds a modest degree of shape retention, helping the fabric recover after extended wear without deforming at the seat or knees. The 2% elastane adds a trace amount of recovery fiber - the JSON lists this as "no stretch," which is consistent with such a low ratio; the elastane at this percentage is unlikely to produce perceivable stretch but contributes to fabric recovery over time. Together, the blend produces a jean that wears as a stiff-to-semi-stiff denim with good structural hold.
Construction Details
High-waist cut with button-and-zip fly closure (image-inferred) and standard 5-pocket construction (image-inferred). The defining feature of this jean is the distress work - heavy open rips run through both thighs and at both knees, with raw frayed edges at each tear opening. The tears are substantial in size, producing visible openings rather than subtle surface abrasion. An acid-washed finish runs across the full fabric surface, creating uneven bleaching that results in a pale, varied blue. The straight leg carries consistent width from hip to the cropped ankle hem, which sits just above the ankle without a finished edge treatment.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing preserves the acid-wash finish and prevents the pale blue from washing toward gray prematurely. Low-heat drying maintains the shape of the high-rise waistband over time and reduces the risk of cotton shrinkage, which is most significant in the first several wash cycles.
