Product Information
Full details
The Lee Rider Classic Jeans in Blue, waist 28, are designed for individuals seeking a versatile denim style that blends classic ruggedness with a distinctly feminine touch. Their key win is the comfortable blend of cotton, lyocell, and elastane, offering a fit between regular and relaxed with a straight leg and regular waist, infused with iconic Rider details. A potential caveat is that the "borrowed-from-the-boys" feel, while intentional for a unique aesthetic, might not align with preferences for a more traditionally tailored feminine cut.

FAQs
What is the specific fit of the Lee Rider Classic Jeans?
These jeans offer a versatile fit that sits between a regular and relaxed style, featuring a regular waist and a classic straight leg for a timeless silhouette.
What materials are these jeans made from?
They are crafted from a blend of 67% Cotton, 32% Lyocell, and 1% Elastane, providing a balance of comfort, durability, and a slight stretch.
Do these jeans have any stretch?
Yes, the inclusion of 1% Elastane in the fabric blend provides a comfortable amount of stretch, allowing for better movement and fit.
How do the 'historic 1941 Rider Jeans' details manifest in this design?
These jeans incorporate iconic elements such as a straight outseam and larger back pockets, inspired by the original 1941 Rider Jeans, giving them a classic and authentic look.
Are these jeans designed for men or women?
While drawing inspiration from historic men's styles, the description explicitly states they have a 'borrowed-from-the-boys feeling, but they still look really feminine,' indicating they are designed with a feminine aesthetic in mind.
How should I wash these jeans to maintain their color and shape?
It is generally recommended to machine wash them inside out in cold water with similar colors and a mild detergent. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is best to preserve the fabric and fit. Always check the garment's care label for precise instructions.
What is Lyocell, and what benefit does it offer?
Lyocell is a sustainable fiber known for its strength, softness, and excellent moisture-wicking properties. In denim, it contributes to a comfortable feel, good drape, and durability.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff after purchase or wash.
The fabric blend, especially with cotton, can initially feel a bit stiff. Washing them a few times (following care instructions) and wearing them will help soften the denim and allow them to conform better to your body.
Color appears to be fading prematurely.
Always wash your jeans inside out in cold water. Using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents can also help preserve the dye. Minimize tumble drying, or air dry instead.
The fit feels inconsistent after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended drying method. High heat can cause elastane to lose its elasticity or cotton to shrink. Air drying or tumble drying on a very low setting will help maintain the original fit.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Lee Rider Classic Jeans, follow these general denim care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. This helps preserve the indigo dye and prevents fading.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric's integrity. High heat can damage the elastane fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out.
- Frequency: Wash only when necessary to preserve the denim and reduce environmental impact.
