Product Information
Full details
The Lee Extreme Motion Straight Jean is designed for adults seeking a balance between the classic look of traditional denim and the functional comfort of athletic performance wear. Its key benefit is a highly flexible, elastic waistband that allows for complete freedom of movement, making these pants ideal for both office work and active weekends. A primary caveat to consider is that the lightweight 10.5 oz denim feels thinner than heavy-duty workwear jeans, so users who prefer thick, rigid denim may find them lighter than expected.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these jeans heavy?
No, they are crafted from 10.5 oz denim, which is considered lightweight to medium-weight, focusing on comfort rather than heavy-duty protection.
Can I wear these for work?
Yes, their classic straight silhouette and dark blue color make them suitable for business-casual environments where standard denim is permitted.
Does the waistband lose its stretch?
The high-quality elastic components are designed to withstand regular wear and washing, but avoiding high-heat drying will preserve the stretch longer.
What is the fit like through the legs?
They feature a standard straight fit, meaning there is consistent room through the thigh and knee without being overly tight or baggy.
Does the leather patch require special care?
It is a standard brown leather accent. It is durable, but avoiding excessive soaking during laundry cycles helps keep it supple.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose after several wears
Wash the jeans in warm water and dry on medium heat to help the elastic fibers recover their original shape.
Fading on the thigh panels
The thigh panels are designed to look 'well-worn'; if you wish to minimize further fading, always wash inside out with a detergent designed for dark colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Lee Extreme Motion jeans in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Turn the jeans inside out before placing them in the washing machine to protect the fabric finish and the brown leather back patch.
- Temperature: Use cold water settings to prevent excessive fading and to maintain the integrity of the elastic waistband.
- Drying: Air-dry is recommended to extend the lifespan of the denim. If using a machine, select a low-heat setting.
- Compatibility: The straight-leg cut pairs effectively with casual sneakers, boots, or desert boots. The 42-inch waist size is designed for a consistent fit, though the stretch nature of the waist may provide a slightly more forgiving experience than non-stretch denim.
