Lee Loose 5 Pocket Barrel Jean Modern Maker - Blue - 28

Barrel fit refers to a jeans silhouette that is fitted through the hips, widens out (balloons) through the thigh and knee area, and then tapers back in towards the ankle. This creates a unique, rounded shape.

No, these jeans are made from rigid, non-stretch denim, meaning they contain no elastane or spandex. This provides an authentic denim feel that requires a break-in period.

Wash them inside out in cold water with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric.

The 'Modern Maker' wash is an authentic mid-blue denim color with fading across the thigh, designed to give the jeans a naturally worn-in, lived-in appearance from the start.

Using recycled cotton helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with producing virgin cotton, making the jeans a more sustainable choice.

The jeans are designed to hit at the ankle. Consider your typical footwear and desired look. They are intended to pair well with sneakers and boots, showcasing the ankle area.

While they are made of 100% cotton, the looser barrel fit can offer some breathability. However, rigid denim can feel warmer than stretch denim, so they may be more comfortable in moderate to cooler temperatures.

This is typical for rigid, non-stretch denim. Wear them regularly for extended periods to allow the denim to break in and mold to your body. Consider washing them once before the first wear to slightly soften the fabric.

Avoid high heat when washing or drying. Always use cold water and opt for a low heat tumble dry or air dry. Rigid denim can shrink, especially with heat.

The 'Modern Maker' wash is designed to have a naturally worn-in effect. Slight variations in fading are normal and part of the authentic denim look. Avoid excessive washing to maintain the original fade pattern.
