FAQs
Is the fabric lightweight?
Yes, these jeans are made from an 8 oz. medium-stretch twill, which is lighter and more flexible than traditional heavy denim.
Does the elastic waistband look obvious?
No, the elastic waistband is designed to be subtle, maintaining the authentic look of a classic five-pocket jean while offering modern comfort.
What is the fit through the leg?
The fit is regular through the thigh and knee, ending in a classic, straight-leg opening.
Can I put these in the dryer?
While air drying is preferred to maximize the lifespan of the elastic, you can tumble dry on a very low heat setting if necessary.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
Their deep black color and straight silhouette make them appropriate for smart-casual environments, though they remain casual-first in construction.
How does the waist sizing compare to standard jeans?
The jeans use standard waist measurements, but the elasticized nature of the waistband allows for a slightly more forgiving and flexible fit.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose after several wears
Wash the jeans in cold water and air dry to help the elastic fibers regain their original tension.
Fading of the deep black color
Use a detergent specifically designed for dark or black fabrics and always wash inside out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lee Extreme Motion jeans last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Wash in Cold Water: Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the black dye and the integrity of the elastic waistband.
- Avoid High Heat: Tumble drying on high heat can degrade the stretch fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the fit.
- Turn Inside Out: Always wash jeans inside out to prevent surface friction and premature fading of the black twill.
- Storage: Hang the jeans by the belt loops or fold them neatly to keep the waistband from becoming misshapen over time.
