Hudson Jeans is a Los Angeles denim brand selling women's and men's jeans, alongside denim jackets, shorts and tops. Its fits carry names such as Nico and Barbara for women, and Blake, Axl and Byron for men.
A Hudson Jeans order succeeds on four things: rise, leg shape, fabric stretch and inseam. The size number matters less than knowing how each fit sits and how the denim relaxes once worn.
Choosing a Hudson women's fit
Start with rise. Hudson Jeans lists the Nico as a mid-rise and the Barbara as a high-rise, and the rise measurement in inches is on each product page.
Then pick the leg. A single Hudson fit name can come in several shapes, such as skinny, straight, bootcut or flare, so read the full product name rather than the fit name alone.
If you already own a Hudson pair you like, compare its rise, thigh and leg opening with the new listing. That is more reliable than sizing by the name.
Choosing a Hudson men's fit
Hudson men's jeans are sorted by leg shape. The Axl is a slim fit, the Blake is a slim straight and the Byron is a straighter, roomier cut.
The Blake is the usual middle ground for anyone between slim and straight. If you have larger thighs, compare the Blake and Byron thigh measurements on the Hudson size chart before choosing.
Check the leg opening in inches, since it decides how the hem sits over boots or trainers. A narrow Axl opening can bunch over bulky shoes.
Stretch versus rigid Hudson denim
Much of the Hudson Jeans range uses stretch denim, which feels soft from the first wear and gives a little over the day. Stretch jeans tend to relax, so a snug fit in the fitting room is usually right.
Rigid or low-stretch Hudson styles feel firmer and need breaking in. Buy those in your true size, since they will not loosen as much.
The fabric composition is listed on each Hudson product page. A higher elastane share means more give and more relaxation after wear.
Getting the Hudson inseam right
Hudson Jeans lists the inseam in inches for each style. Measure a pair you own from crotch seam to hem and compare it before ordering.
Flares and bootcuts need extra length if you wear them with heels. Cropped and ankle styles are meant to sit above the ankle, so do not size up to gain length.
Raw or frayed hems on Hudson styles cannot be let down. If you are tall, choose a full-length style over a cropped one.
Washes and care
Hudson Jeans comes in dark indigo, mid-blue, black and lighter vintage washes, some with distressing. Dark indigo can transfer onto light fabric at first, so wash it before sitting on a pale sofa.
Wash Hudson jeans inside out in cold water and hang to dry. Heat can shrink the waist and wear down stretch fibres faster.
Distressed and ripped styles can open further with heavy washing. Hand wash or use a gentle cycle to keep the rips where they started.
Returns, exchanges and sale timing
Check the current Hudson Jeans return window and exchange terms before ordering two sizes to compare. Final sale items may not be returnable.
Hudson runs a sale section and seasonal promotions, and end-of-season markdowns are the usual time for older washes to drop. Core fits in popular washes are discounted less often.
If you are between sizes, keep tags on and try both at home. Send back the pair you do not keep within the window.
Where the Hudson Jeans savings are
Try the 25% off code first on a full-price Hudson Jeans order. If it is declined, the 20% off code is the fallback.
The $50 off code beats 25% on a subtotal under $200. Above $200, the 25% code saves more, so compare both on your actual basket.
Sale items may be excluded from codes. Check the discount line in the Hudson cart before you pay.
Putting two Hudson Jeans styles in one order gives a percentage code more to work on. If you are unsure of size, order both sizes with the code and return the pair that does not fit within the window.
Common questions
Do Hudson Jeans run true to size?
Stretch styles relax with wear, so many buyers choose a snug fit. Rigid styles are best in your usual size.
What is the difference between the Nico and Barbara?
Rise. Hudson lists the Nico as mid-rise and the Barbara as high-rise.
Which Hudson men's fit is between slim and straight?
The Blake, a slim straight fit, sits between the Axl and the Byron.
Can I return Hudson sale items?
Check the item page, since final sale pieces may be excluded from returns.
Does Hudson Jeans sell more than jeans?
Yes. Hudson Jeans also sells denim jackets, shorts and tops, often in washes that match its core fits.
