Product Insights
This wide-leg, high-rise jean in TENCEL lyocell blend drapes fluidly and feels soft from first wear, with an 11-inch rise and 25.5-inch inseam that bare the ankle when tops are tucked, and shrinkage under 3% preserves both rise and length after washing, while moisture wicking 50% more efficiently than cotton keeps wear cooler and drier, and an independently audited EIM score of 18 documents a low-impact wash process (though fiber sourcing is not covered), yet the hem may fray slightly, and at a sale price of $49.95 CAD it undercuts Banana Republic while offering lyocell and sustainability credentials not found at Old Navy's $44.99.

| Raw Hem Ankle Jean Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a high-rise, wide-leg ankle jean with a roomy, non-tapered cut and an intentionally raw, scissor-cut frayed hem that gives an uneven edge. It suits shoppers drawn to a faded-blue wash with whiskering in a stretch cotton-lyocell denim (with 1% elastane), and its denim treatment carries a low-impact EIM score of 18 with 20% reprocessed cotton in the fabric. Note that in Baby Blue the listing shows sizes 29 and 30, and size 28 measures an 11-inch front rise with a 25.5-inch inseam.[1,2,3] | Medium-Indigo Stretch Jean Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a high-rise, wide-leg jean with plenty of give: it's an ultra stretch cotton-blend denim (66% organic cotton with 2% elastane) in a medium indigo wash with whiskering, caramel contrast seams, a zip fly, and five-pocket styling. The treatment scores 16 on the EIM© scale, which the retailer describes as low environmental impact. Note the full-length cut measures a 32-inch inseam and 11.75-inch front rise in size 33, and it's offered in sizes 26 through 33 in Indigo/Dark Blue.[4] | Patch-Pocket Dark Indigo Jean Fit: Wide Leg, Mid Rise: Choose this if you want a mid-rise, wide-leg jean in a dark indigo wash that falls straight from the hip and ends cropped above the ankles, with patch pockets at the front and back and a wide folded hem. It is made of a stretch denim blend (60% organic cotton, 39% cotton, 1% elastane) with a zip fly and belt loops, and its denim treatment carries a low-impact EIM score of 7. Sizing runs from 26 to 33 in the Navy/Midnight Blue color, and in size 28 the front rise measures 11 inches with a 27-inch inseam, so check the length if you are taller.[5,6,7] |
