Raw Hem Skinny Jean. Add some panache to your skinny jeans with these eye-catching raw hems, which adorn your ankles in flattering vertical stripes. Skinny jeans have an elongating, slimming visual effect anyway, and the raw hems magnify that effect. If you want the look shown here, style the jeans with our sweater with pink stripe hem in brown (sold separately). The jeans have stretch because they are made from 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane. Elastane, also known as Spandex, is a great addition to denim when making jeans. Stretchiness in jeans is caused by the elastane. Another benefit is that elastane provides a body-hugging effect, so your jeans wont lose their shape. And, of course, cotton plays the biggest role in the fabric blend. Cotton is breathable, durable, and has withstood the test of time. The model is 511 with measurements of 34-24-35 and is wearing a size small. The fit runs true to size.
