Fabric & Construction
We build our RSQ slim straight jeans on a foundation of ring-spun cotton blended with just enough stretch to eliminate restriction without losing structure. The fabric weight sits at 12.5 ounces—substantial enough to resist wear but breathable for year-round comfort.
Every pair undergoes enzyme washing to soften the hand feel and develop natural color variation. Double-needle stitching runs along every seam, with reinforced bar tacks anchoring the pockets and fly. The rivets are copper-plated for corrosion resistance, and the metal hardware won’t tarnish with repeated washing.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Our slim straight cut sits fitted through the seat and thigh without feeling restrictive, then follows a clean vertical line from knee to hem. The mid-rise waist measures approximately 10 inches from crotch seam to waistband on a size 32.
For sizing, we recommend your true waist measurement—the jeans will stretch about half an inch in the waist after a few wears. The inseam is offered in 30-, 32-, and 34-inch lengths to accommodate different heights. If you typically wear skinny jeans, you may find the straight leg roomier through the calf and ankle.
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold inside-out to preserve color and minimize fading. We recommend washing denim every 5-7 wears unless visibly soiled—overwashing breaks down the fibers and accelerates wear.
Tumble dry low or hang to air dry. High heat can shrink the cotton fibers and degrade the elastane over time. If wrinkles appear, a quick steam or low iron on the reverse side smooths them out without damaging the finish.

Common Questions About RSQ Slim Straight Jeans
RSQ slim straight jeans offer more room through the knee, calf, and ankle compared to skinny jeans. While both styles fit slim through the hip and thigh, the straight leg maintains a consistent width from knee to hem rather than tapering. This creates a less restrictive fit around the lower leg while still looking modern and fitted.
The 14-inch leg opening is about 1-2 inches wider than most skinny jean openings, which makes them easier to get on and off and more accommodating for boots or chunkier sneakers.
The RSQ slim straight jeans feature a mid-rise waist that sits approximately 10 inches from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband on a size 32. This translates to the waistband resting just below the navel for most builds.
The mid-rise design offers versatility—it’s high enough to stay in place when you sit or bend but not so high that it creates an outdated look. This rise works well with both tucked and untucked shirts.
The RSQ slim straight jeans contain 2% elastane blended with cotton, which provides stretch recovery to help the jeans maintain their shape. You can expect about half an inch of give in the waist after several wears, which is normal for any stretch denim.
The fabric returns to its original shape after washing. If you notice any relaxation through the day, running them through a wash cycle will restore the fit. The key is washing in cold water and avoiding high heat in the dryer, which can break down the elastane fibers over time.
We offer RSQ slim straight jeans in three inseam lengths: 30 inches, 32 inches, and 34 inches. The 30-inch inseam works well for guys 5’7″ and under or anyone who prefers a cropped, no-break look. The 32-inch inseam is our most popular length, fitting men between 5’8″ and 6’0″ with a slight break over shoes.
The 34-inch inseam accommodates taller builds up to about 6’3″ with a full break. All measurements are taken along the inner leg seam from crotch to hem before washing.
Yes, the RSQ slim straight jeans use a 12.5-ounce denim weight that balances durability with breathability. This mid-weight fabric is lighter than traditional heavyweight work jeans but substantial enough to feel quality.
The cotton-dominant blend with 2% stretch allows air circulation better than pure synthetic fabrics. Many customers wear these year-round, though in extreme heat you might prefer our lighter chambray or linen options from the casual pants collection.
If you fall between two waist sizes, we recommend choosing your true waist measurement or sizing down if you’re closer to the smaller size. The stretch denim will give about half an inch with wear, so buying too large will result in a loose fit after a few days.
For reference, if you measure 33 inches at the waist, a size 32 will feel snug initially but will break in comfortably. A size 34 may feel perfect out of the package but could require a belt after wearing. Always measure at your natural waist where you’ll wear the jeans, not your hip measurement.
To preserve the indigo color on dark wash RSQ slim straight jeans, turn them inside-out before washing and use cold water exclusively. Cold water prevents the indigo dye from bleeding as quickly as warm or hot water.
Wash denim separately or with other dark items for the first 3-5 washes to avoid dye transfer. Skip the fabric softener, which can strip color, and air dry or tumble on low heat. Washing less frequently—every 5-7 wears unless soiled—is the single best way to extend the life and color of any dark denim.
