Lee Stella Selvedge Denim Wide Leg Jean - Blue - 26x31

Selvedge denim is made on old-fashioned shuttle looms, producing a tightly woven fabric with a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. This is often a mark of higher quality denim.

To preserve the integrity and color of selvedge denim, it's best to wash them infrequently in cold water, inside out, and air dry. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.

The Stella jeans are made from 13.25oz low-stretch denim. They will soften and conform to your body with wear, offering a personalized fit over time, but they will not stretch significantly in width like high-elastane jeans.

Xion refers to the specific dark navy rinse applied to the denim. It's a classic, deep indigo wash finished with traditional tobacco stitching.

The A-line wide leg is versatile. Tuck in a simple t-shirt or a fitted blouse to emphasize the ultra-high waist. They also look great with cropped tops or sweaters. Footwear options range from sneakers to boots and heels.

The 13.25oz denim weight makes them suitable for most seasons. They can be worn year-round, perhaps paired with lighter tops in summer and warmer layers in winter.

This means the bottom hems have been folded up and then secured with stitching. This detail is often used to showcase the selvedge line of the denim.

This is typical for low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear the jeans for extended periods to allow them to break in and mold to your body shape. Washing them inside out with cold water can also help soften the fabric over time.

Ensure the jeans are washed separately or with similar dark colors, especially during the first few washes. Avoid contact with light-colored furniture or upholstery until the color has set.

Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying, which can cause shrinkage. If the fit seems off, try wearing them again; denim often adjusts with wear.

The tacked hems are designed to show the selvedge line. Minor fraying can be part of the aesthetic. If excessive fraying occurs, ensure the stitching is intact and consider professional repair if needed.
