The Straight 19 in Shale is an American-made men's stretch jean cut and sewn in our Chicago factory. It's a straight leg with a 19 inch bottom hem opening, made from 98% cotton.

This one is for guys who want a straight leg with some room in it. It is fitted in the seat with room through the thigh, then runs straight to the ankle, so it sits over a boot or a work shoe without bunching.

The fit facts:

• Leg: straight cut, 19 inch bottom hem opening
• Seat and thigh: fitted in the seat, room through the thigh
• Wash: Shale, which should fade nicely after a few months depending on how you wash it
• Hardware: YKK zipper and a Horween leather patch

Machine wash cold and hang dry to hold the color and the fit. Washing less often and inside out will slow the fading if you want to keep it dark. Hot water and a hot dryer will pull the color out faster.

On sizing: order your usual waist. The denim has 2% spandex, so it gives a little as you wear it. We hem to your length for free before the jeans ship, so pick your inseam at checkout rather than guessing and cuffing.
