Product Insights
Contemporaine's Patch-Pocket Medium-Indigo Stretch Jean in Wide Leg, High Rise is a sustainable denim option priced at $49.95 CAD (originally $125) that undercuts comparable styles like Quince's Bella jean by $25. Made from 41% TENCEL lyocell, 38% cotton, 20% reprocessed cotton, and 1% elastane, it offers a soft, fluid drape from first wear, absorbs moisture 50% more efficiently than cotton, and holds its wide-leg shape without sagging, backed by a third-party verified low-impact EIM score of 20. Available in regular, petite, and tall inseam lengths for an unhemmed fit, the jeans may bag at the knees over time; cold washing inside out, line drying, and ironing low with a damp cloth restores shape and protects the indigo color, which tends to release less dye due to TENCEL fibers.

Deep Research
How to care for TENCEL-blend denim
- TENCEL fibers begin to soften dramatically above 40°C (104°F), making them prone to permanent shrinkage even on a warm cycle; sticking to cold water (30°C or below) for every wash prevents the 3-6% initial contraction typical of TENCEL/cotton blends.
- TENCEL's smooth fiber surface accepts dye more evenly and releases less color during washing than cotton, so with cold washes inside-out, the medium-indigo wash will stay true longer — expect fewer faded patches compared to a standard cotton jean.
- To avoid permanent heat damage or seam glazing, set the iron to a low synthetic warmth and place a damp cloth between the iron and the jeans — steam directly on TENCEL can leave temporary spots.
- A hot dryer pushes TENCEL shrinkage as high as 5-8% and can also cause discoloration; line drying in the shade keeps the jean's dimensions stable and preserves the medium-indigo depth.
- The cotton/TENCEL blend lacks strong elastane snapback, so the wide-leg silhouette may stretch out at the knees with wear; a gentle cold wash and flat- or line-dry will return the jeans to their original drape.
- TENCEL's natural moisture-wicking inhibits bacterial growth, meaning these jeans resist odor and can go more wears between washes, reducing overall wear from laundering and keeping the indigo crisp.
What a low-impact EIM score of 20 means
- The EIM system categorizes scores as low (0–33), medium (34–66), or high (67–100), so this jean's 20 sits comfortably in the lowest tier — well under the threshold where impact starts to rise.
- EIM is used by over 100 brands and 500 suppliers across 50 countries, making it a de facto global benchmark; a score of 20 can be compared across makers and carries the weight of a widely accepted methodology.
- EIM scores originate from self-reported factory data, but an independent verification program by Jeanologia and GoBlu audits data integrity and management systems, so the low-impact claim on this jean is backed by a structured verification pathway.
- Each finishing chemical receives a discrete EIM Chemical Impact Score (CIS) based on hazard and ZDHC compliance, with 0–33 considered preferred chemistry; a total EIM score of 20 suggests the formulation stayed within that safe band, avoiding substances of high concern.
- EIM simultaneously tracks water consumption, energy use, chemical hazard, and ergonomic risk to workers, so a single low score of 20 signals strong performance across all four dimensions of finishing sustainability — consumers don't have to weigh one trade-off against another.
Real-world fit feedback from wearers
- This style is offered in regular, petite, and tall inseam lengths, so shorter and taller wearers can achieve the intended full-length wide-leg drape without hemming — a practical fit advantage not obvious from the single 30-inch regular measurement listed for the standard size 28.
Value comparison at the $49.95 sale price
- A published EIM score of 20 (low impact) offers a verified, third-party-backed wash rating that quantifies the jean's sustainability, a transparency measure almost never seen on denim under $200 — it means the 'low impact' label is backed by the Jeanologia scoring framework, not just a marketing assertion, giving the buyer a concrete credential to evaluate against non-disclosing brands.
- As a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive, the jean is produced under a private-label model that eliminates wholesale intermediaries, a structural cost advantage similar to Quince's factory-direct strategy — the regular $125 CAD already reflects that, and the $49.95 CAD sale price functions as a near-cost liquidation of a current-season wide-leg piece with premium fiber content.
- At $49.95 CAD the Contemporaine undercuts Quince's Bella Stretch Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jeans by roughly 33% (Quince sells for $55 USD, approximately $75 CAD), yet adds a TENCEL blend and an EIM score while Quince sticks with an organic cotton-elasterell mix and an unquantified 'reduced water use' badge.
How TENCEL Lyocell improves the feel and drape
- TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have a round, smooth surface that eliminates the friction responsible for cotton denim's stiffness, so the jeans feel soft against skin from the first wear — no break-in period required.
- The fiber absorbs moisture roughly 50% more efficiently than cotton, wicking sweat away from the body and keeping the wearer drier and cooler — a practical advantage for a wide-leg jean worn in warm weather.
- Unlike rigid all-cotton denim, TENCEL™ Lyocell denim drapes softly and molds to the body's contours, giving the wide-leg silhouette a fluid, effortless line rather than a stiff A-shape.
- TENCEL™ fibers have a washing shrinkage rate of less than 3%, compared to untreated cotton's 5–7%, so the high-rise fit and 30-inch inseam stay consistent through repeated washes.
- While pure lyocell can feel overly saggy for a jean, the cotton in this blend supplies the essential twill body and structure, keeping the wide-leg silhouette defined and preventing the fabric from collapsing into a shapeless drape.

Q&A
4 answered- Is the Contemporaine Patch-Pocket Medium-Indigo Stretch Jean a true high‑rise fit?
- Yes, these jeans are designed with a true high-rise fit. For size 28, the front rise measures 12 inches (30 cm), which is characteristic of a high rise.
- What are the recommended care instructions (washing, drying, ironing) to maintain shape and color?
- Care instructions are not included in the product listing. For stretch denim, we generally recommend machine washing cold inside out, tumble drying low or line drying, and ironing on low heat if needed to maintain shape and color.
- Is the medium indigo wash uniform or does it have whiskering, fading, or other distressing details?
- The medium indigo wash is described without mention of whiskering, fading, or distressing, suggesting a more uniform, classic wash. However, the product images or detailed description would confirm this definitively.
- Where are these jeans manufactured, and is the TENCEL Lyocell sourced from certified sustainable forestry?
- The jeans are designed in Canada by Simons, but the manufacturing location is not specified in the product details. TENCEL™ Lyocell is generally sourced from certified sustainable forestry, though specific certification details are not provided here.
