Lee 101 Regular Rider Jacket - Dry Red Cast - XL

Selvedge denim is made on traditional narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') along the cut edge of the fabric. It's often associated with higher quality and unique fading characteristics.

To achieve the best fade, minimize washing and avoid harsh detergents. Wear the jacket often in various conditions. Fading will naturally occur in areas of high friction, such as the elbows, cuffs, and collar.

While some shrinkage may occur, selvedge denim is often not fully pre-shrunk to allow for a better fit and unique wear patterns. It's best to avoid high heat during washing and drying to minimize unwanted shrinkage.

Being made in Japan often indicates a high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the use of traditional manufacturing techniques, particularly with denim production.

Yes, denim can be worn in light rain. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to significant color transfer and require drying. It's advisable to allow the jacket to air dry completely afterward.

The 101 Rider Jacket has a regular fit, inspired by the original 1948 design. It offers a classic silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose.

This is common with raw or selvedge denim. Wear the jacket frequently for short periods to break it in. Washing it inside out in cold water can also help soften the fabric.

The Dry Red Cast dye may bleed, especially when new or wet. Wash the jacket separately or with similar dark colors for the first few washes. Avoid wearing it with light-colored items until significant fading has occurred.

Ensure buttons are aligned correctly with the buttonholes. If a button feels excessively loose, it may require reinforcement. Consult a tailor for repair if needed.

Washing raw denim can sometimes result in uneven fading. This is often considered part of the unique character of selvedge denim. For more consistent results, always wash inside out and avoid agitation.
