Goodfellow & Co Men's Straight Fit Jeans
We designed our straight fit jeans to deliver the classic silhouette that never goes out of style, with the durability you need for everyday wear. These jeans sit comfortably at the waist and run straight from hip to hem, creating a clean, balanced look that works with everything from sneakers to boots.
Our denim is crafted from heavyweight cotton with just enough stretch to move with you throughout the day. We built these jeans for men who want reliable, no-nonsense denim that holds up to real wear while looking sharp enough for casual Friday at the office or weekend plans.
Fabric & construction details
Denim Construction & Fabric Weight
We source 12-ounce denim for these straight fit jeans, a weight that balances structure with breathability across three seasons. The fabric blend combines ring-spun cotton yarns with a minimal elastane content to maintain the authentic feel of traditional denim while allowing natural movement when you bend, sit, or climb stairs.
Our weave pattern follows a right-hand twill construction, creating the diagonal texture that defines quality denim. The construction we use across the entire men’s jeans range ensures consistent thickness from waistband to hem, so you won’t find thin spots that wear through prematurely.
Sizing & Fit Measurements
Our straight fit follows a traditional rise measurement, sitting approximately one inch below your natural waistline for a secure fit that doesn’t sag. The seat and thigh measure generous enough to avoid restriction, while the leg maintains a consistent 16-inch opening from knee to ankle.
We offer waist sizes from 28 to 44 inches in even increments, with inseam options spanning 28, 30, 32, 34, and 36 inches to accommodate different heights. If you typically wear slim or skinny styles, we recommend ordering your usual waist size — the straight leg provides more room through the lower leg without requiring you to size up.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash these jeans in cold water on a normal cycle, turning them inside out to preserve the exterior finish. We recommend washing denim after every four to five wears rather than after each use, since over-washing degrades cotton fibers and accelerates fading.
Avoid chlorine bleach, which weakens the fabric structure and causes uneven color loss. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to minimize shrinkage — our pre-wash treatment reduces initial shrinkage to less than 2%, but high heat can still tighten the weave over time.

Common Questions About Our Straight Fit Jeans
Yes, our straight fit jeans follow standard men's sizing for both waist and inseam measurements. We recommend ordering your typical jean size without sizing up or down. The waist measurement reflects the actual garment dimension, not vanity sizing, so a labeled 32-inch waist measures 32 inches across when laid flat and doubled.
If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit through the seat and thigh, consider our relaxed fit style instead, which offers additional room while maintaining the same inseam options.
Our straight fit jeans undergo a pre-wash treatment during manufacturing that removes most shrinkage potential before they reach you. You can expect less than 2% shrinkage with proper care — cold water washing and low-heat tumble drying.
If you wash in hot water or dry on high heat, the cotton fibers will contract more noticeably, potentially reducing the inseam by up to half an inch and tightening the waist slightly. We always recommend following the care label instructions to maintain the original fit.
The leg opening measures 16 inches across all waist sizes, maintaining consistent proportions from the smallest to largest size in our range. This opening accommodates most boot styles while still looking clean with sneakers or casual shoes.
For comparison, our slim fit tapers to a 14.5-inch opening, while our relaxed fit opens to 17.5 inches at the hem.
Our straight fit jeans in darker washes work well for business casual dress codes that allow denim. The clean silhouette and traditional five-pocket styling pair appropriately with button-down shirts and leather shoes.
Lighter washes and distressed finishes lean more casual and may not meet stricter workplace standards. When in doubt, we recommend choosing our dark indigo rinse for professional settings.
These jeans feature a mid-rise design, sitting approximately one inch below your natural waistline. The front rise measures 10.5 inches on a size 32 waist, which falls between traditional low-rise styles that sit on the hips and high-rise cuts that reach the navel.
This mid-rise placement provides secure coverage when you bend or sit without requiring a belt to stay in position.
The denim contains 1% elastane blended with 99% cotton, providing subtle stretch that allows natural movement without feeling like athletic fabric. The stretch is mechanical rather than constant — you'll notice give when you bend your knee or squat, but the jeans won't sag or lose their shape over the course of the day.
This minimal stretch content preserves the authentic weight and texture of traditional denim while eliminating the stiffness that makes 100% cotton jeans uncomfortable during extended wear.
All five pockets are fully functional with reinforced openings to prevent tearing. The front hand pockets measure seven inches deep, accommodating most smartphones and wallets without items sliding out when you sit.
The coin pocket sits inside the right front pocket and measures 4.5 inches deep. Both rear pockets are 6.5 inches deep with button closures to secure contents during active movement.
