| Embroidered Pocket Stretch Tapered Jean: Choose this if you want a relaxed tapered jean in stretch organic cotton denim with a vintage medium blue wash and lived-in fading at the thighs and knees. It suits shoppers drawn to subtle designer detailing, with a multicolor embroidered stripe on one back pocket that the retailer describes as the designer's colorful signature, plus a signature emblem at the back waist and golden contrast topstitching. Blue sizes run from 30 to 36, and the listed 78.5 cm (31 inch) inseam was measured on the size 32, so check the length if you wear a different size.[1,2,3,4] | Casual Indigo Tapered Jean: Choose this if you want a relaxed tapered jean in a smooth dark indigo wash with minimal visible distressing, cut from organic 11 1/4 oz stretch denim (99% cotton, 1% elastane) with a 32-inch inseam. Choose this for everyday styling with signature touches like a leather crest at the back waist, a multicolor stripe on the left rear pocket, and contrast topstitching in sizes 30 to 36. Note that the retailer page describes the fit both as relaxed tapered and as wide with a straight leg, so the leg shape may read differently depending on how you interpret the listing.[5,6,7] | Tapered Seersucker Pant: Choose this if you want a navy, tapered trouser in stretch cotton seersucker (99% cotton, 1% elastane) with subtle vertical texture and pressed front creases for a dressed-up look. It pairs pleats at the waist and leg, slant pockets, buttoned rear welt pockets, a zip fly, belt loops, and a full-length 32-inch (81 cm) inseam that rests over shoes with a modest break, and the merchant positions it as versatile for both formal and casual outfits. Note that the listing describes the material inconsistently as stretch organic cotton versus stretch cotton seersucker, and the size range runs 28 to 36.[8,9,10,11] |
