FAQs
What does 'Dry Red Cast' mean?
Dry Red Cast refers to the dyeing process used for the denim. It results in a deep blue color with distinctive violet undertones, often seen in vintage denim, and is intended to fade uniquely over time.
Is this selvedge denim?
Yes, these jeans are crafted from prestigious selvedge denim, produced using traditional methods on vintage looms, which is known for its quality and distinctive edge binding.
How should I care for my Dry Red Cast jeans to prevent color loss?
To maintain the color, wash sparingly in cold water, inside out, with a mild detergent. Air dry the jeans whenever possible and avoid machine drying.
Will these jeans shrink?
As they are 100% cotton, some minimal shrinkage is possible, particularly after the first wash if machine dried. It's recommended to follow care instructions and air dry to minimize shrinkage.
What is the fit of the 101 50's Rider Jean?
The fit is described as 'Regular Fit - Straight Leg,' offering a relaxed silhouette that is comfortable and not overly tight.
Are these jeans suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the relaxed fit and durable denim construction make them suitable for everyday wear. The classic style ensures they remain versatile.
What makes the '50s Rider' detail significant?
The '50s Rider' details refer to specific design elements and the fit that are authentic recreations of Lee's iconic Rider jeans from the 1950s, offering a genuine vintage look.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff after purchase.
This is common with raw or dry denim. Wear them regularly, and they will soften and mold to your body with use.
Uneven color fading.
Avoid excessive washing. If washing is needed, turn inside out, use cold water, and consider spot cleaning for minor marks.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Check the size chart provided by Lee and compare it to your measurements. Remember that raw denim may shrink slightly after the first wash.
Button fly is difficult to manage.
This is a characteristic of vintage-style button flies. It may take some practice to button and unbutton smoothly. Avoid forcing buttons.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: To preserve the unique Dry Red Cast blue color, it is recommended to wash the jeans sparingly. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out, use cold water, and a mild detergent. Machine wash separately or with similar colors.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the jeans to maintain their shape and color. Avoid using a machine dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and affect the denim's texture.
- Shrinkage: As 100% cotton denim, expect some minimal shrinkage after the first wash, especially if machine dried. This is normal and contributes to the custom fit.
- Fading: The Dry Red Cast finish is designed to fade over time with wear. To achieve even fading and preserve the original color, avoid excessive washing and harsh chemicals.
