FAQs
What does 'selvage denim' mean?
Selvage denim is made on a specialized shuttle loom, creating a durable, tightly woven fabric with a clean, finished edge (the 'selvage'). This typically results in a higher quality denim that fades beautifully over time.
How do I get the best fit with these jeans?
The 101 S jeans feature a regular fit. For the best personal fit, consult a size chart and consider your preferred comfort level. The denim will naturally adapt to your body shape with wear.
Will the 'Dry Blue' color wash out completely?
The 'Dry Blue' color is an indigo dye that is meant to fade gradually with wear and washing, creating unique personal fades. It will not wash out completely but will evolve its appearance over time.
Can I machine wash these jeans?
While machine washing is possible, it's not recommended for preserving the denim's quality and color. If you must machine wash, use a cold, gentle cycle and turn the jeans inside out.
What is the best way to dry these jeans?
The best method is to air dry the jeans. Hang them from the waistband or lay them flat, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric.
Are there other sizes and colors available?
Yes, the Lee 101 S Slim Jean is available in various waist and length sizes, and potentially other washes or colors. Please check the product catalog for available options.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary significantly depending on how often you wear the jeans and your activity level. It can range from a few weeks to a couple of months before the denim feels significantly softer and conforms to your body.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for selvage denim. Wear the jeans regularly for several days or weeks to break them in. Soaking them in cold water for a short period and then air drying can also help soften the fabric.
Uneven fading or color bleed.
Wash the jeans separately in cold water for the first few washes. Avoid wearing them with light-colored clothing until the color has stabilized. Use a detergent designed for dark colors if possible.
Buttons are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the buttonholes are properly aligned. The buttons may become easier to use as the denim around the button fly area softens with wear.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always use cold water and a gentle wash cycle. Hang dry the jeans immediately after washing. Avoid using a machine dryer. If shrinkage is a concern, consider washing them less frequently.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity and color of the premium selvage denim:
- Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans infrequently to preserve the original color and allow for natural fading. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and use cold water. A gentle cycle is advised.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaning agents.
- Drying: Hang drying is the preferred method. Avoid machine drying, as excessive heat can cause shrinkage and damage the denim fibers.
- Shrinkage: Expect some potential shrinkage, especially in the initial washes. Cold water and hang drying minimize this effect.
- Fading: The 'Dry Blue' finish is intended to fade naturally over time. Avoid washing with other garments that could bleed color or be damaged by indigo dye.
