FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, producing a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and traditional denim production.
How much stretch is in these jeans?
These jeans contain a 'small dose of stretch,' typically meaning a very low percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of elastane or similar fiber blended with the cotton for added comfort and flexibility.
How do I know if I should size up?
The product description suggests sizing up for a 'slightly more relaxed, carefree look.' If you prefer a looser fit around the thighs and knees, consider ordering one size up from your usual waist size.
Can I wear these jeans in the summer?
Yes, the 'Free Soul' off-white color makes them particularly suitable for summer. The cotton blend with stretch also contributes to comfort in warmer weather.
Are these jeans suitable for formal occasions?
These are casual jeans. While the off-white color and clean design offer a slightly more refined look than distressed blue jeans, they are best suited for smart-casual or casual settings, not formal events.
What is the benefit of 20% recycled cotton?
Using recycled cotton reduces the need for virgin cotton production, saving water, energy, and reducing waste, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
How do these jeans compare to other Lee fits?
The 'Regular Straight' fit is designed for a classic, non-restrictive silhouette, sitting straight from thigh to ankle. This differs from 'slim' or 'skinny' fits which are more tapered, and 'relaxed' fits which are generally looser throughout.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff initially
This is normal for selvedge denim. Wear them regularly for a few days to break them in, or wash them once inside-out in cold water to soften the fabric.
Color seems to fade unevenly
Ensure you are washing the jeans inside-out in cold water with like colors. Avoid overloading the washing machine.
Fit is not as expected
Consider the intended 'regular' fit. If you prefer a looser feel, try sizing up. If they feel too tight, ensure you are washing and drying according to care instructions, as some minor shrinkage might occur.
Seams or stitching issues
Inspect the garment upon arrival. If any defects are found, contact the retailer for potential exchange or return options as per their policy.
