Model & Design Identity
Official model name printed inside:

HIGH RISE CROP SLIM
VINTAGE BLUE PATCHWORK

This is not standard denim.

It features:

• Intentional patchwork panel construction
• Contrasting denim blocks at knee area
• Cropped length
• Raw frayed hem
• Button fly with branded Helmut Lang hardware

The darker horizontal patch panels at the knee are factory-applied — not alteration.

The dye warning label confirms intentional treatment process.

Fabric & Dye Technique
Label clearly states:

“As a result of the dye technique used to achieve this look, color may transfer or rub off on lighter materials.”

This confirms:

• Treated vintage wash
• Intentional dye depth
• Reactive indigo finishing

Fabric: 100% Cotton denim.

The denim shows structured grain, not stretch.

This is rigid denim with shape retention.
