FAQs

WHAT IS J-SHAPE DENIM?

J-shape refers to a unique cut that curves from knee down to create a "J", this shape and added inseam allows the fabric to fall on your body in a way that creates a unique stacking look unlike any other jean you've ever worn, you don’t have to worry about getting the wrong inseam. The J-shape naturally stacks at your legs without the hassle of tailoring them or worrying that your pants will be too short.

WHERE DO WE PRODUCE OUR COLLECTIONS?

We hand-source our fabrics and trims from Italy and Japan, we believe in sourcing only the highest quality materials when producing our garments. Our fabrics and trims are then sent to our sample room in the city of Guangzhou, PRC where they are assembled by our production team. With over 20 years of production experience, our team ensures that every garment exceeds our standards with advanced quality control operations. That way we can be sure that your denim fits just the way we designed them.

SIZING 

For sizing on denims, we recommend going true to size to your waist size. For example, a size 32 from our denim is a 32 inch waist exactly. If you are also worried about the thigh, leg opening, or the rise measurements of our denim, you can find our size guide here. 

Our 35 inch inseam is consistent throughout our collection of J-Shape silhouettes. The reason for the elongated inseam is to provide you with a one size inseam; your denim will naturally stack from the knee down so you do not need to worry about the inseam. Whether you are an aspiring basketball player measuring 6’9” or 5’6”, you can rest assured that your jeans will mold to your legs without the need to tailor them. 

Depending on the fabric of each denim, you can expect different models to fit slightly different than their counterparts. A jones denim will fit more relaxed and feel stretchier than a Jameson denim, which is structured with raw denim. Our size guide will allow you to estimate those measurements and decide if a size up is a better option for you. 

You can also find a full size chart for other pieces of collection with this link. 

If you are still unsure about sizing, we’re available everyday around the clock to help with any sizing questions.

PRE-ORDERS

We release new styles every month and sometimes we allow you to be among the first to reserve your pair ahead of an anticipated drop. We make small runs for exclusive drops, so once placing your pre-order you are signing up to have a size put aside for you. Do not worry, we will keep you updated on the status of your pre-order. Once your AKINGS piece passes the final quality control phase, we will update you on an estimated delivery date. Because our pieces are often made in a small sample room, pre-orders typically take 6-8 weeks to arrive at your door from the day you place your order. 

We appreciate your patience and the early support. Without your trust and continuous support, we would not be able to make our collections come to life.
