FAQs
What is the fit of these jeans?
These are Lee Rider Classic Jeans with a 'relaxed straight' fit, offering comfort and a timeless silhouette that isn't too tight or too loose.
What material are these jeans made from?
The jeans are composed of 67% cotton, 32% lyocell, and 1% elastane, providing a durable, breathable, and slightly stretchy fabric blend.
How much stretch do these jeans have?
They feature a 'low stretch' type, meaning there is 1% elastane for a small amount of give, but they retain a classic denim feel and shape.
How should I wash these jeans?
These jeans are machine washable. For best results, wash them inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors, and tumble dry on low or air dry.
Are these jeans suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the cotton and lyocell blend makes them breathable enough for warmer weather, while their denim construction provides sufficient warmth for cooler seasons, making them versatile for year-round wear.
What does 'lyocell' contribute to the fabric?
Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber known for its softness, strength, and excellent moisture-wicking properties, adding comfort and a smooth feel to the cotton blend.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight or restrictive
The Lee Rider Classic Jeans have low stretch. If they feel too tight, it may indicate that a larger size is needed. Consult the brand's sizing chart for guidance or consider trying a different size.
Color is fading after washing
Always wash black jeans inside out and in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid hot water and harsh detergents. Air drying can also help preserve color longer than tumble drying.
Jeans appear to have shrunk
Washing in hot water or drying on high heat can cause cotton-blend fabrics to shrink. Always use cold water for washing and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Sometimes air drying can make denim feel stiffer. You can tumble dry on a low setting for a short period to soften them, or wear them for a bit to help them relax. Avoid using excessive detergent.
