What to know about Buffalo
Stretch jeans with heavy treatments
The core is men's and women's stretch denim in skinny, slim, bootcut and relaxed fits, finished with whiskering, heavy fades, distressing and dark rinses.
A licensed trademark since 2013
Iconix Brand Group has held a majority 51% interest in the name since 2013 and licenses it out, including categories like eyewear, so output spans multiple makers.
Department stores and warehouse clubs
Distribution runs through department stores, warehouse clubs and buffalojeans.com, which matches its low-to-mid pricing rather than boutique positioning.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |

| Jeans & denim | true to size | slim, skinny, bootcut and relaxed options | Buy your normal waist; the added stretch means you rarely need to size up, and pick the named cut for the leg profile you want. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | slim, fitted through the body | Consider sizing up if you want a relaxed fit, as graphic tees tend to run a touch trim. |
