FAQs

What does 'Dry Red Cast' mean?

'Dry Red Cast' refers to the specific dyeing process and color of the denim. It indicates a blue denim that has been dyed in a particular way to achieve a deep color with subtle violet undertones. 'Dry' often implies it hasn't been pre-washed by the manufacturer.

What is the fit of the 101 50's Rider jean?

This jean features a relaxed, straight-cut fit, offering a comfortable silhouette inspired by classic 1950s denim styles.

Are these jeans made from raw denim?

The 'Dry Red Cast' description suggests they are likely not pre-washed, meaning they can be considered close to raw denim. They will soften and fade with wear.

How should I wash my Lee 101 50's Rider jeans?

For best results and to preserve the unique color, wash inside out in cold water infrequently. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

Will these jeans shrink?

Yes, as they are made from 100% cotton denim, they may shrink slightly after washing, particularly if machine dried on high heat. It's advisable to follow care instructions carefully.

What is the material composition?

The jeans are made from 100% Cotton denim.

Where are these jeans made?

According to the product information, these jeans are Made in Japan.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff or rigid.

This is typical for 100% cotton, especially 'Dry' or raw denim. Wear them regularly; they will soften and conform to your body with use. Consider a single cold wash if extreme stiffness is uncomfortable.

Color transfer onto lighter surfaces.

New, dark-dyed denim can transfer color. Avoid contact with light-colored clothing, upholstery, or leather until the jeans have been washed several times. Washing inside out in cold water helps reduce initial color bleeding.

Inconsistent fading after washing.

To ensure even wear and fading, wash the jeans inside out in cold water and air dry. Avoid machine drying on high heat, which can cause uneven shrinkage and fading.

Sizing seems incorrect.

Check the size chart provided by Lee for the 101 Rider fit. Remember that 100% cotton denim, especially from Japan, can have slight variations and may shrink. Consider trying a size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality construction using traditional Japanese denim techniques.
  • Unique 'Dry Red Cast' finish with distinctive violet undertones.
  • Durable 100% cotton material for longevity.

Cons

  • The 'Dry Red Cast' finish may require specific washing and care to prevent premature fading or color alteration.
  • Relaxed fit might not appeal to those preferring very slim or skinny jeans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and unique color of the 'Dry Red Cast' finish, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans infrequently. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and use cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air drying is preferred. Hang the jeans to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent excessive fading.
  3. Shrinkage: As 100% cotton denim, expect some potential shrinkage after the first few washes, especially if dried on high heat. Consider this when selecting your size.
  4. Raw Denim Care: For those who prefer to preserve the 'raw' state of the denim, avoid washing altogether until absolutely necessary. Wear them regularly to develop unique fades and personal characteristics.
