Product Information
Full details
The Lee Stella Selvedge Denim Wide Leg Jean is designed for women seeking a retro-inspired, flattering silhouette. Its key benefit is the stylish A-line wide leg and ultra-high waist, offering versatility with footwear and a comfortable, flattering fit. A potential consideration is the low-stretch nature of the selvedge denim, which may require a break-in period. This jean features a classic wide leg with an A-line shape, an ultra-high waist, and is crafted from 13.25oz low stretch twill selvedge denim with 19% recycled cotton, finished in a dark navy rinse with traditional tobacco stitching.

FAQs
What does 'selvedge' denim mean?
Selvedge denim is produced on traditional shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and authentic denim craftsmanship.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart and measure your waist and inseam. The '28x31' designation refers to a waist size of 28 inches and an inseam length of 31 inches.
Will these jeans stretch?
Yes, the low-stretch denim will stretch and mold to your body over time with wear, offering a personalized fit. However, they will not stretch out excessively like some lower-quality denim.
How should I care for the 'Xion' rinse?
The Xion rinse is a dark navy. To maintain the color, wash inside out in cold water and air dry. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Can I alter the tacked hems?
Yes, you can have the hems altered by a tailor if you wish to change the length or style, but this will remove the original tacked selvedge detail.
Are these jeans suitable for all body types?
The A-line wide leg and ultra-high waist are designed to be flattering on many body types, creating a balanced silhouette. However, personal fit preferences vary.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight initially
This is common with low-stretch selvedge denim. Wear them for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your body. Avoid excessive washing in the initial stages.
Color bleeding during washing
Wash the jeans inside out in cold water separately for the first few washes. Use a color catcher sheet to absorb any excess dye.
Hems feel stiff
The tacked hems are a design feature. They should maintain their shape. If they become misshapen, gently re-tack them by hand or consult a tailor if you wish to alter them.
Denim feels rough
Selvedge denim is known for its robustness. The texture will soften considerably with wear and proper care. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat when washing and drying.

- Tops: The ultra-high waist pairs well with fitted tops, tucked-in t-shirts, blouses, and cropped sweaters.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: To preserve the color and integrity of the selvedge denim, it is recommended to wash them infrequently. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: It is best to air dry these jeans to prevent shrinkage and maintain the denim's shape. Hang them or lay them flat. Avoid machine drying.
- Selvedge Detail: The tacked hems are designed to stay in place. Avoid cutting or altering the hems unless you intend to re-hem them to a different length.
