Low Rise Cutoffs

These shorts are cut from a rigid, light-wash denim that sits mid-rise, featuring a button fly and a frayed, raw-cut hem that hits high on the thigh. The whiskering at the hips and subtle fading mimic the lived-in character of a decade-old flea market find. It is a no-nonsense silhouette that relies on the weight of the cotton to maintain its structured, boxy shape.

Safety Rating: Fair

Analysis: The blend of 95% organic cotton and 5% post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled material creates a breathable base, but the inclusion of recycled synthetic fibers (PCW) introduces potential for microplastic content and unknown chemical residues from the secondary recycling stream. While the organic cotton is high-quality, the mixed composition prevents a top-tier rating.
