These are essentially new jeans. I wore them on a dinner date, then hand washed them in cold and line dried them. I am cleaning out my closet in preparation for a move, so sticking to more relaxed shapes that fit my current lifestyle. The wash is called Under Pressure. From the manufacturer: Inspired by the multi-talented social activist, The Marlo is Denim Forum’s signature dad jean. The Marlo has a high rise and a relaxed fit for that easy-going look. They’re cut from heavyweight, non-stretch denim that molds to your body over time. This fabric is sourced from a premier Italian mill and made with 100% regenagri-certified regenerative cotton.
