FAQs

What does 'Red Cast' mean for the color?

Red Cast refers to the dyeing process that gives the denim a deep red hue. This type of finish can evolve and change color with wear and washing, often developing unique characteristics over time.

Is this jean made of 100% cotton?

Yes, the Lee 101 50's Rider Relaxed Jean is made from 100% cotton, providing a durable and authentic denim experience.

What is the difference between this and a modern slim fit jean?

The 50's Rider features a regular fit through the seat and thigh with a straight leg opening, offering more room than a modern slim or skinny fit jean.

How should I care for the red cast finish?

Wash inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

Can these jeans be machine dried?

Yes, they can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, for best results and to preserve the color and fit, air drying is often recommended.

Will the red color bleed onto other clothes?

There is a possibility of color bleeding, especially during the first few washes. It is recommended to wash with similar colors and avoid prolonged soaking.

What does 'Back Pockets Moved Towards Side Seams' mean?

This is a distinctive design feature of the 50's Rider jeans, where the placement of the back pockets is shifted closer to the sides of the jean compared to standard pocket placement.

Troubleshooting

Color fading unevenly

This is often a natural characteristic of red cast denim. To mitigate, always wash inside out in cold water with similar colors and avoid direct sunlight during drying. Consider professional dry cleaning if significant color loss is a concern.

Jeans feel stiff

100% cotton denim can be stiff initially. Wear them frequently to break them in. Soaking them in cold water for an hour before the first wash can also help soften the fabric.

Inconsistent sizing

Consult the Lee size chart and compare with your measurements. Different washes or production runs can have minor variations. Check the specific waist and inseam measurements for the pair you receive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These jeans require no specific setup. They are designed for immediate wear. Compatibility is with general casual apparel. Care instructions are crucial to maintain the red cast finish:

  1. Washing: Wash inside out with similar colors. It is recommended to wash them separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer.
  2. Temperature: Use cold water (30°C or 86°F) for washing.
  3. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  4. Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can fade the red cast.
  5. Ironing: If needed, iron on a medium setting while the jeans are still slightly damp, or inside out.
