About Everlane’s jeans: Direct-to-consumer with a sustainability story. Way-High, '90s, and Original Cheeky cover the modern women's denim spectrum.

Is the price honest?

Genuine value at $98. The non-stretch high-rise category is mostly premium-priced, and reviewers consistently say the Way-High holds its own at roughly half the cost of the obvious alternatives.

Our take

Everlane's Way-High is one of the few sub-$100 high-rise jeans made from genuinely rigid, non-stretch organic cotton — a category otherwise dominated by $200+ labels. Owners who want that structured, no-stretch feel are the audience, and they tend to be happy: the true ~12-inch rise sits at the natural waist and the fabric holds a clean line. The honest trade-off reviewers flag is the break-in — the rigid cloth feels stiff and unforgiving for the first week — and that the waist runs slightly small, so a number of owners size up one. The cropped ankle length suits average heights and reads short on taller frames.

The details

Material
~12oz organic cotton denim, no stretch.
Fit
High-rise (~12 inches), straight leg, slim through the waist, cropped ankle. Runs slightly small at the waist — many size up one. Stiff until broken in.
Quality
Solid mid-tier. Clean stitching; the rigid organic cotton is the selling point and what gives it the structured drape.
Best for
A true high-rise, non-stretch silhouette and structured looks, without paying premium-denim prices.
Care
Cold wash inside-out and air dry; infrequent washing deepens the indigo over time.
