Full details
The Lee Stella Selvedge Denim Wide Leg Jean is designed for women seeking a stylish, retro-inspired denim option with a modern, flattering fit. Its key benefit is the versatile wide-leg, A-line silhouette that complements various footwear and body types. A potential caveat is the low-stretch denim, which may require a break-in period for optimal comfort. Key features include an ultra-high waist, a crafted 13.25oz low-stretch selvedge denim construction with recycled cotton, and a dark navy rinse with signature selvedge detail.

FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and traditional denim production methods. The tacked turn-up hem on these jeans highlights this feature.
How much do these jeans stretch?
These jeans are made from 13.25oz low-stretch denim. They will have minimal stretch initially but will conform to your body shape with wear over time.
What is the 'Xion' rinse?
Xion refers to the specific dark navy rinse applied to the denim, featuring traditional tobacco stitching for a classic look.
Can I alter the length of the jeans?
While alterations are possible, it's not recommended to cut off the tacked turn-up hems as this will remove the visible selvedge detail. If shortening is desired, consult a tailor experienced with denim.
Are these jeans suitable for all body types?
The ultra-high waist and A-line wide leg are designed to be flattering for many body types, creating a balanced silhouette. However, personal fit preference is key.
How do I care for the recycled cotton content?
The care instructions for the recycled cotton are the same as for the rest of the denim. Gentle washing and air drying will help maintain the integrity of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff initially
This is normal for low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them for short periods initially and they will soften and mold to your body with wear.
Color fading
Wash inside out in cold water with mild detergent and air dry to minimize color loss.
Selvedge detail looks uneven
The tacked turn-up hems are a design feature. If they become significantly uneven, a careful hand-press or minor adjustment may be needed, but avoid over-manipulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These jeans require no specific setup beyond standard wear. They are designed for compatibility with a wide range of footwear, from sneakers and flats to boots and heels.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: To preserve the color and selvedge detail, it is recommended to wash these jeans infrequently and preferably by hand or on a gentle cycle with cold water. Turn the jeans inside out before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry the jeans flat or hang them to dry. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the denim fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting with the jeans turned inside out. For the selvedge detail, avoid excessive pressing on the tacked hems.
