FAQs

What does 'selvedge denim' mean?

Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, resulting in a clean, self-finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It's often considered a mark of higher quality denim and is traditionally shown off with a cuff.

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and inseam and compare them to the garment's specifications. The 'size_mens_waist_uk' attribute in the product information indicates the waist measurement in UK sizing.

Can these jeans be machine washed?

Yes, they can be machine washed, but it is recommended to wash them inside out in cold water with a mild detergent to preserve the fabric and color.

Are these jeans suitable for all body types?

The loose fit is designed to be flattering and comfortable for many body types, offering a relaxed silhouette. However, individual fit preferences may vary.

What is the Richter wash?

The Richter wash is a specific dyeing and finishing process used by Lee that results in a deep blue color with authentic wear marks through the thigh, designed to mimic natural wear patterns and highlight the denim's texture.

How much recycled cotton is in the jeans?

These jeans are made with 19% recycled cotton, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

How should I care for the tacked turn-ups?

The tacked turn-ups are part of the design to display the selvedge line. Care for them as you would the rest of the jeans, following the washing and drying instructions. Avoid excessive stretching or pulling at the cuffs.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff initially

This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them for short periods initially and wash them as per care instructions to help break in the fabric for increased softness and comfort.

Color fading unevenly

Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying; opt for air drying in the shade.

Selvedge edge fraying

Ensure the tacked turn-ups are secure. If fraying persists, consult a professional tailor for repair to maintain the selvedge detail.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and color of your denim:

  1. Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. This helps preserve the color and the integrity of the selvedge detail.
  2. Drying: Air drying is preferred to prevent shrinkage and preserve the denim's shape. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
  3. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the fabric and fade the wash unevenly.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is needed, use a cool iron setting, preferably on the inside of the garment.
