Staying true to the original with their five-pocket design, iconic W stitching and 7 belt loops to keep your belt where it needs to be. Less Laundering It's best to wash denim as little as possible in order to prevent shrinking and fading.

When they are ready for a freshening up, turn jeans inside-out and wash separately in cold water and line dry, if possible.
