Lee 101 Regular Rider Jacket - Blue - XXL

Rigid denim is denim that has not been pre-washed or treated to soften it. It is typically 100% cotton and starts stiff, but becomes softer and molds to the wearer's body with use, developing unique fades.

To maintain the 'Dry Blue' selvedge finish, wash the jacket as infrequently as possible using cold water and a gentle cycle or hand wash. Air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.

The break-in period can vary depending on how often you wear the jacket. Consistent wear over several weeks to a few months will gradually soften the denim and create personalized wear patterns.

Left-hand twill means the diagonal lines of the denim weave run from the bottom left to the top right. This type of weave often results in a softer feel and unique fading characteristics compared to right-hand twill.

While possible on a very gentle, cold cycle, it is recommended to hand wash or limit machine washing to preserve the denim's integrity, color, and selvedge finish. Always air dry.

Using recycled and organic cotton reduces the environmental impact of the garment by conserving water, minimizing pesticide use, and diverting waste from landfills.

This is normal for rigid denim. Wear the jacket frequently, especially for extended periods, to break in the fabric. You can also try gently bending and flexing the arms and torso areas while wearing it to encourage softening.

Washing the jacket infrequently with cold water and minimal, gentle detergent can help maintain an even color. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals. If uneven fading occurs naturally, this can add character to the garment over time.

Always opt for cold water washes and air drying. Avoid using a machine dryer on high heat, as this is the primary cause of significant shrinkage in denim.
