A mid-rise straight leg with a fuller seat and thigh, washed as charcoal with controlled grey seam highlights. Develop thigh ease, rise, leg opening, wash depth and trims against a physical sample.
On this site, “washed charcoal” describes the grey-black target shade of our Washed black programme. It is the same wash family, not a second product.
Development reference. Final fabric, fit, wash and commercial terms are confirmed through sampling and the purchase order. Fabric weight is a pre-wash reference specification.
Illustrative development specification until the factory has photographed and approved the physical garment for public display.
Full specification
| Field | Value | Expansion |
|---|---|---|
| Style | M-02 · MEN’S · Relaxed straight | M-02 shares a straight hem story with M-01, but the seat and thigh are fuller. It is not a regular fit and is not ordered as one. |
| Fit | Mid rise · fuller seat and thigh · straight leg | Mid rise with a fuller seat and thigh, staying straight through the knee to the hem. |
| Fabric | 100% cotton · 12.5 oz/yd² pre-wash · rigid | Rigid 100% cotton denim at a 12.5 oz pre-wash reference. The slightly heavier starting weight helps a relaxed pattern keep shape after wash. |
| Colour base | Black | Black colour base. Shade control is about charcoal depth and grey highlights, not indigo whiskers. |
| Wash | Washed charcoal with controlled grey seam highlights | Washed black / washed charcoal with controlled grey seam highlights. Batch-to-batch range is agreed on a physical reference, because one lot can look ink-black and the next dusty grey if the standard is only a memory. |
| Customise | Thigh ease, rise, leg opening, wash depth and trims | Typical changes: thigh ease, rise, hem opening, how far the black is taken toward grey, and trims. |
| Trims | Button, rivets, zip, patch and labels specified at sampling | Metal finish reads strongly on black. Choose it on the sample; a bright brass and a gunmetal button are different garments. |
| Sizing | Buyer size chart and grading · inches or centimetres | Relaxed patterns need explicit seat and thigh grades. We will not blow the base size up by a single percentage. |
| MOQ | Quoted per style, colour and wash | Quoted per style, colour and wash. Fabric, branded-trim and wash-batch minimums are included in the project quotation. Black and indigo programmes are quoted separately because the wash route is different. |
| Sampling | Timing and cost confirmed after pattern/material review | Approve a shade range, not only a single hero pair, before bulk. |
| Bulk | Schedule agreed after sample approval and material readiness | Bulk shade lots are checked against the approved charcoal reference under agreed light. |
Measurement points
Call out Thigh and Seat/Hip on this page — these are where M-02 must measure differently from M-01. If thigh values look almost identical, it is not a relaxed fit. M-01 pocket coordinates are not copied across.
Measurement-points diagram
Technical drawing forthcoming.
Measuring action
Photograph forthcoming.
| Measurement point | How we measure |
|---|---|
| Waist | Across the waistband at the agreed point (top edge or mid-band), laid flat, doubled |
| Hip | Across at the agreed distance down from the back rise, laid flat, doubled |
| Front rise | Front crotch seam to top of waistband |
| Back rise | Back crotch seam to top of waistband |
| Thigh | Across at 2.5 cm below the crotch seam, or the buyer’s stated point, doubled |
| Knee | Across at mid-inseam or a fixed distance from the crotch, doubled |
| Leg opening / hem | Across the hem edge, doubled |
| Inseam | Crotch to hem (state whether the cuff is included) |
| Outseam | Top of waistband to hem |
| Waistband height | Height of the waistband itself |
| Back pocket position | Distance from waistband lower edge and from side seam |
Where base sizes are defined the same way, place M-01 and M-02 thigh and hip side by side so ease is visible as numbers, not adjectives.
Measure the garment laid flat, after the agreed wash and press. If your chart uses a different point — for example thigh at 1 inch down instead of 2.5 cm — write that on the enquiry. We will not guess.
Base-size chart
Industrial garments cannot be promised to the millimetre. Tolerances are agreed in the order documents and checked after wash.
| Size | Waist | Hip | Front rise | Back rise | Thigh | Knee | Hem | Inseam |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base size (factory to name) | To be confirmed on the approved sample | |||||||
| Tolerance | Agreed in the order documents — not promised as zero variance on this page | |||||||
What can change
| What changes | Typical approach | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Thigh ease | Add or slightly reduce | Closing too far returns the pattern to regular — switch to M-01 instead |
| Rise | Raise or lower front/back rise | Dropping front rise on a relaxed pattern often looks baggy |
| Leg opening | Change the hem | Closing too far becomes a taper and needs a renamed silhouette |
| Wash depth | Deeper black or greyer charcoal | Too grey creates lot-to-lot drift |
| Trims | Metal finish and patch material | A light patch on black is very loud — only if the buyer asks for it |
Linked wash · Washed black
M-02 belongs to the Washed black programme. The wash page explains charcoal versus grey-black targets, seam highlights and why black lots must be approved as a range.
Construction & hardware
On a fuller seat, pocket placement shifts relative to the body. Locate pockets from the approved sample; M-01 pocket coordinates are not reused. Black thread on black fabric hides skipped stitches and floaters — inspect under agreed light specifically for those defects.
Sampling & bulk path
- 1Select M-02 on the enquiry form, or list the parts you want to change.
- 2Confirm fabric, wash, size chart and trim artwork.
- 3Cut a base-size sample; revise once if needed.
- 4Approve a shade range (acceptable darkest and lightest), not only one “perfect black” pair, and lock it into the order.
- 5Schedule bulk after material readiness; shade lots are checked against the approved charcoal reference.

Style FAQ
Is washed charcoal different from washed black?
No. Charcoal describes the grey-black target inside our washed black family.
Can you make it jet black with no seam highlights?
That is a different shade target. We can evaluate it, but it must be sampled; it is not the M-02 display wash.
Can M-02 be produced in clean indigo?
The pattern can be evaluated in indigo, but that is a new fabric-and-wash approval, not a colour swap.
