How to Get the Perfect Krisp Crease in Your Jeans
Whether you're headed to the rodeo, stepping into the arena, going to work, or simply want your everyday western jeans looking their best, there’s something about a sharp, krisp crease that pulls the whole look together.
But getting that professional-looking crease isn't just about a hot iron. It starts with the right preparation, the right technique, and - most importantly - the right starch.
If you're tired of watery starches that don't provide the hold you need, Cowboy Krisp is a super-concentrated liquid starch designed to help you achieve the crisp, professional finish you're looking for.
Here's everything you need to know about how to starch jeans and get that perfect crease.
How to Get the Perfect Krisp Crease in Your Jeans
Want that extra-stiff, ultra-Krisp crease? The way you position your jeans before starching can make a big difference.
1. Button Your Jeans Oppositely
Start by laying your jeans out opposite of how you normally would. This sets your crease up.
2. Establish Your Crease
Before spraying, carefully line up your jeans and establish exactly where you want your straight crease to run. Take your time here - the straighter your starting point, the better your finished crease will look.
3. Spray Your Desired Hold Level
Using your prepared Cowboy Krisp mixture, spray your jeans evenly with the hold level that matches the finish you're after.
Want a little structure? Go Light.
Looking for that classic crisp finish? Go Medium.
Want them stiff? Heavy.
Want them Krisp with a capital K? Extra Heavy.
4. Give High-Wear Areas a Little Extra Krisp
If you want an especially stiff crease or additional structure in certain areas, saturate those areas slightly more.
Pay particular attention to the edges of the crease and any areas where you want additional stiffness and durability. You don't necessarily need to soak the entire pair of jeans - concentrate the product where you want the most hold.
5. Press and Let Them Set
Once your jeans are evenly starched, press your crease using your preferred iron or press. Work carefully along the established crease to create that clean, straight line.
Allow the jeans to completely cool and set before wearing them.
The Result?
A clean, straight, seriously Krisp crease that's ready for the arena, the jobsite, the ranch - or wherever the day takes you.
Cowboy Krisp. Starch as Hard as You.
Why Starch Your Jeans?
Starching your jeans isn't just about getting that sharp, western-style crease. A good starch can also help your jeans stand up to the demands of everyday work.
When properly starched, the added structure can help create a barrier that makes it harder for dirt and grime to work into the fabric. For welders and other workers, starching can also help provide an added layer of protection against everyday jobsite messes and sparks.
Regular starching can also help reinforce the structure of the denim, potentially helping your jeans maintain their shape and hold up through repeated wear.
So whether you're working cattle, welding in the shop, hauling hay, or headed to the rodeo, starch isn't just about looking good - it's about making your jeans work harder, too.
Krisp jeans. Cleaner jeans. Hard-working jeans. That's Cowboy Krisp.
