Lee Jessica Bootcut Jean - Blue - Size 8

The 'Higher Climb' designation indicates that these jeans feature an updated, higher rise compared to the traditional low-rise bootcut styles of the past. This provides a more comfortable and flattering fit around the waist.

Generally, Lee jeans are designed to fit true to size. Given the 2% stretch, they will conform to your body with wear. We recommend purchasing your usual size, referring to the 26-inch waist and 29-inch inseam for this specific pair.

While the 2% stretch provides comfort and flexibility, the high cotton content (98%) ensures they retain their shape well. They may relax slightly with wear, but significant stretching out is unlikely if cared for properly.

While bootcut jeans are traditionally designed to go over boots, the subtle kick-out of the Jessica style makes them versatile enough to be worn with various footwear, including sneakers, heels, and flats, depending on your preferred style.

Recycled cotton is cotton fiber reprocessed from pre-consumer (e.g., textile scraps from manufacturing) or post-consumer (e.g., used clothing) waste. Its inclusion helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with growing new cotton, making the jeans a more sustainable choice.

The pre-fading and creases are designed into the jeans. To help maintain their appearance, always wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or excessive tumble drying. Natural wear will eventually alter these features.

This can happen if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. To relax them, wear them for a short period, or lightly mist with water and gently stretch them by hand while damp. Always wash cold and air dry or tumble dry low.

Ensure you are washing the jeans inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a color-safe detergent and avoid over-washing. Consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle occasionally to help set the dye.

While new denim can feel a bit stiff, the 2% stretch should soften with wear and washing. To expedite, try washing them with a fabric softener (used sparingly for denim) or simply wear them more often. Avoid excessive starch.

Brass hardware can naturally tarnish over time. You can gently clean it with a soft cloth and a brass cleaner, ensuring you avoid getting the cleaner on the denim fabric.
