FAQs
What does 'Rekindle' wash mean?
The 'Rekindle' wash is a specific faded black finish applied to the denim, designed to give the jacket a pre-worn, vintage look that's perfect for casual, weekend wear.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from 100% cotton denim and is not waterproof. It offers protection against light wind and mild weather conditions but is not designed for rain.
How do I know if the XL size will fit me?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart for Lee jeans and jackets, which typically provides detailed measurements for chest, shoulder, and length. The 'relaxed fit' means it is designed to be comfortable and not overly tight.
Can I wear this jacket in hot weather?
While the jacket is made of 100% cotton, its 13oz weight makes it more suitable for cooler spring, autumn, or mild winter days. It can be warm for very hot weather.
How does the relaxed fit differ from a standard fit?
A relaxed fit offers more room through the body and sleeves compared to a traditional slim or regular fit, prioritizing comfort and ease of movement. It provides a contemporary silhouette without being baggy.
What type of pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features two twin chest pockets, a handy inside pocket for secure storage, and side pockets (standard on most Rider jackets, though not explicitly detailed in this description).
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you followed the cold wash and low/no heat drying instructions. Cotton can naturally shrink; size up if you prefer a looser fit after washing.
Color fading unevenly or too quickly.
Wash the jacket inside out with similar colors and avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Natural fading is part of the 'Rekindle' wash's character; further changes will occur with wear.
Zipper or button issues.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. For button issues, consult a tailor for repair or replacement if the button becomes damaged.
