Its key benefit is a timeless silhouette that hugs the waist and hips, falling straight to the ground, offering both style and freedom of movement. A potential caveat is the low-stretch nature of the denim, which might require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs
What is selvedge denim?
Selvedge denim is produced on specialized looms that create a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') which prevents fraying. This is often indicated by a colored line running down the outer seam of the leg, which is visible on these jeans at the turned-up hem.
How do I care for my selvedge denim jeans?
To best preserve the quality and color of your selvedge denim, wash them infrequently in cold water, inside out, and with similar colors. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.
Will these jeans stretch over time?
These jeans are made from low-stretch denim. While they will conform to your body shape and become more comfortable with wear ('break-in'), they will not stretch significantly like high-elastane jeans.
What does 'Xion' refer to?
Xion refers to the specific dark navy rinse and finish applied to this particular pair of Lee London jeans.
Can I alter the length of these jeans?
Yes, but it's important to note that the hems are intentionally turned up and tacked to display the selvedge detail. Any alteration would require careful consideration to either maintain the selvedge appearance or re-hem professionally.
Are these jeans suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the classic straight-leg cut and durable denim make them suitable for everyday wear, offering both style and comfort for various casual and smart-casual occasions.
What is the benefit of the 19% recycled cotton?
The inclusion of recycled cotton contributes to reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with denim production, making the jeans a more sustainable choice.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff or tight initially.
This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear the jeans for extended periods to allow them to break in and mold to your body. Avoid excessive washing.
Uneven fading after washing.
Ensure the jeans are washed inside out in cold water with like colors. Avoid overloading the washing machine and use a gentle cycle if possible.
Hems feel too short or too long.
The hems are tacked and designed to show the selvedge. Altering them will require professional attention to maintain the selvedge detail or to re-hem properly. Consider this before purchasing if precise length is critical.
Pockets feel restrictive.
The design prioritizes a sleek silhouette. For carrying larger items, consider using a bag or opting for a different style of jeans with deeper pockets.
