Akimbo Sun Faded Midnight Black Jeans-1990s

This pair is a pony and cart duo that stands out.

There are jeans that are too serious. They emerge from the wash just like day one – stiff and flat. The Akimbo Sun Faded Midnight Black Jeans-1990s aren’t like that. They are deep and dark and slowly settle into a more lived-in black, as though they were just as old to you. That’s the point.

We create Akimbo Clothing for individuals who have a care for how things age. In the middle between a graphic piece and a plain tee is this pair. It’s the type of denim you go for when you require something that feels on purpose but doesn’t require maintenance.

Fit & Sizing Information

The Akimbo Sun Faded Midnight Black Jeans-1990s are true to size for most. When it comes to sizing, here is a simple guideline: size down if you wish for a snug fit and stay true if you would like for room. Don’t expect the denim to remain boxy after a few wears since it does loosen a bit in the waist and knees. They conform to your contour.

The inseam is long enough to fit over sneakers, but not long enough to overhang boots. The waistband is not at the bottom of the hips, it is at the natural waist. For those who are accustomed to low rise designs, wear them for a couple of days, as they are designed for comfort, not the fashion.

How to Style Them

This type of jean is supposed to work because it doesn’t end up fighting with anything. Simply throw on an Akimbo Hoodie, and you’re ready to go. Replace this with an Akimbo Sweater when it’s cold outside. The Chain Peeker Single Stitched T Shirt does not overpower the faded black and is a good choice for more texture. For layering days, a tee with an Akimbo Zip Up is a breeze.

This pair has been seen with anything from worn down sneakers to leather boots. Which is the draw of a faded black—a dressier than blue denim, however not stiff. It does not matter if the weather forecast is casual or a night out, it does not matter to you. This pair works well for lazy days when you don’t feel like wearing your Akimbo Club pieces and also for when you want to look sharper when building a rotation, this pair is the perfect fit.

Care Instructions: Washing

The truth is: if you want black denim to last, it requires a little care. Although the fade is built-in, it can be destroyed with hot water and hot dryers.

Wash them sparingly. Scan for small marks and spot clean with damp cloth. If they require a proper wash, flip them over, zip up and wash them on a light cycle with cold water. Don’t use fabric softener (residue will dull the fabric). A mild dark colored detergent works best. Never bleach them, never mix with light colors in the same load.

Care Instructions: Drying

Never place them in the dryer! Heat causes the fibers to break and accelerates fading; this is out of one’s control. Instead, hang them out of the sun. The black will fade with direct sunlight over time so a more shaded location with good air circulation is better. Place them on their side (hanging them by the waistband can cause stretching over time).

With proper care, the Sun Faded Midnight Black will adapt to your body and your lifestyle. That’s what good denim is all about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will These Jeans Bleed on to Other Clothes?

The wash number is set, but there may be some dye that escorts from black denim during the initial wash. Do wash them by themselves or with other darks for the first couple of cycles. From then on they stay stable.

How Will They Stretch Out?

As “denim” wears, it loosen up a little in the waist and knees. If not, if between sizes, opt for the smaller size if a snug fit. If you need more space, stick to your size.

May I Place Them in the Dryer Should I Be in a Rush?

You can, but you shouldn’t. The dryer will make the fit tightest and most fade flattened. Air drying requires longer time and maintains the shape and colour as desired.

So What Can You Wear with Faded Black Jeans Besides Blue?

Any blue colored outfits will work here! The faded black, however, is a bit more refined. When it comes to being casual, an Akimbo Hoodie is the way to go. It looks more cutting edge with a white shirt and jacket. It’s a neutral color, just darker.

Would These Jeans Be Suitable for Regular Wear?

Yes. The fabric can be used everyday and the fit is easy for long days. They are not light-weight denims so they can be worn throughout the seasons. They breathe fairly well in the summer months. They keep warm in cold weather and are not as heavy in cold weather.

Are They Applicable for Women as Well as Men?

Unisex look, straight leg, mid-rise, roomy through the thigh. The sizing is standard, please refer to the sizing chart before ordering. Cut from the ’90s works well for most shapes as it doesn’t thin out sharply at the ankle.
