Material Composition
This jean is composed of 66% cotton, 27% polyester, 1% spandex, and 6% adhesive - a complete fiber declaration totaling 100%. The cotton provides the primary denim texture and breathability, though at 66% it is below what would be considered a cotton-dominant construction; the fabric will feel and perform somewhat differently from a high-cotton jean. The 27% polyester content is significant - it reduces fabric weight and breathability relative to a cotton-dominant construction, while contributing shape retention and wrinkle resistance. The 1% spandex adds a trace amount of recovery fiber - at this ratio it is unlikely to produce perceivable stretch, consistent with the "no stretch" listing in the JSON. The 6% adhesive likely refers to adhesive interlining used in the waistband or panel construction - a standard industrial technique for adding structure to specific garment sections. Note: this product's natural fiber content falls below the Lumistelle 70% floor - see material compliance flag in Product Identification.
Construction Details
High-waist cut with button-and-zip fly closure (image-inferred) and standard 5-pocket construction (image-inferred). The signature construction element is the wide, relaxed leg - the silhouette runs straight from a fitted seat and hip outward through the full leg, producing a wide-opening hem. Open rips sit at both knees, with raw frayed edges framing each tear. The light acid-wash finish applies across the full fabric surface with uneven bleaching that creates pale variation in the wash. The high-rise waistband provides a structured fit at the rise.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing maintains the light acid-wash finish and preserves the pale blue tone. Low-heat drying reduces the risk of shrinkage in the cotton component and reduces the possibility of heat-related impact on the adhesive interlining in the waistband construction.
