Full details
The Lee David Regular Tapered Jean is designed for the modern man seeking versatile and comfortable denim for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in its perfectly tapered fit, offering a contemporary silhouette without being too restrictive.

FAQs
What is the main difference between a regular fit and a regular tapered fit?
A regular fit generally has a straight cut from hip to ankle. A regular tapered fit starts with a regular fit through the seat and thigh but narrows down towards the ankle, offering a more modern silhouette without being as tight as a skinny fit.
How should I cuff these jeans?
The jeans are designed to be worn cuffed to hit around the ankle. A single, medium-width cuff is generally recommended to achieve the intended look, especially when pairing with sneakers.
What does '13.5oz medium stretch twill denim' mean?
This refers to the weight and composition of the fabric. 13.5oz is a mid-weight denim, offering durability and a good drape. 'Medium stretch' indicates it contains a small percentage of elastic fibers (like elastane or spandex) blended with the cotton to provide comfort and flexibility. 'Twill' describes the diagonal weave pattern characteristic of denim.
Is the 'Rusty Rivet' finish a light or dark blue?
The 'Rusty Rivet' finish is described as a deep blue, suggesting a darker shade that provides a clean and versatile look.
Can these jeans be worn for formal occasions?
While the 'Rusty Rivet' finish is clean, these jeans are best suited for casual to smart-casual settings. They are generally not appropriate for formal events.
What is the material composition of these jeans?
These jeans are primarily made from 99% cotton, with a small percentage of stretch material for comfort.
How much shrinkage should I expect?
Some minimal shrinkage may occur if machine washed and dried, especially with higher heat. Following the care instructions (cold wash, low heat dry or air dry) will help minimize shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight in the waist
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the jeans are new, they may need a short break-in period. Wearing them for a few hours can help the denim adapt to your body shape. Check the care label; some materials may shrink slightly if washed or dried improperly.
Jeans feel too loose after washing
Check the care label for washing and drying instructions. Over-drying in a machine can sometimes lead to premature stretching. Consider air-drying or using a low heat setting. If the issue persists, a belt can be used to adjust the fit.
Color transfer onto other garments
This is common with dark denim. Wash the jeans with like colors, especially during the first few washes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored upholstery or surfaces while the jeans are new and damp.
Stitching appears loose or damaged
Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors without cutting the main seam. If there is significant seam damage, contact customer support or a tailor for repair.
