"Love these. Was worried about the button but we just ignore it and use them like pants without a button. They have waist stretch. They run really big though. Our son is now too big for cotton on size 4 and the JK size four in these is nearly too big. They slide down heaps."

Frequently Asked Questions
The Rueben Pant offers a relaxed fit with an elastic waistband, providing comfort and flexibility for active toddlers while allowing room to grow.
Yes. Because the denim is dyed using rich, traditional washes, we recommend washing before first wear, especially if pairing with light‑coloured tops or accessories. This helps remove any excess dye.
Absolutely. All metal accessories are nickel‑free, making the pants suitable for children who may be sensitive to certain metals.
The Rueben Pant offers a relaxed, classic fit with an elasticated waistband for comfort. They generally run true to size, but if your child is between sizes or growing quickly, sizing up provides longer wear. Refer to the detailed length and waist measurements for the best fit.
Like all denim, the light wash may softly fade with repeated washing. Following the care instructions—cold wash, delicate cycle, and avoiding the dryer—will help maintain the colour and finish for longer.
