Lee 101 R Relaxed Jean - Dry Blue - Size 36

Rigid denim is raw, unwashed denim that has not undergone any pre-shrinking or softening treatments. It starts stiff but molds to the wearer's body over time, developing unique fades and a personalized fit.

The break-in period can vary for everyone, but generally, it takes several weeks to a few months of regular wear for the denim to become noticeably softer and conform to your body.

Left-hand twill denim has diagonal ridges that run from the bottom left to the top right. This construction often leads to softer denim and a unique fading pattern compared to standard right-hand twill.

It is strongly recommended to avoid machine washing and drying. If washing is necessary, use cold water on a gentle cycle and always air dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve the denim's character and color.

Using recycled and organic cotton reduces the environmental impact of the denim production by conserving water, reducing waste, and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals.

The leather patch is durable and designed to age with the jeans. Avoid prolonged soaking of the patch area when washing. Natural wear and tear will contribute to its patina.

The 'Dry Blue' is a dark, balanced wash achieved through 13 dips in indigo. It highlights the premium quality of the denim and serves as an excellent base for developing personalized fades over time.

This is expected with rigid denim. Wear the jeans for extended periods throughout the day to allow them to break in and conform to your body shape. Avoid excessive washing during the break-in period.

Turn jeans inside out before washing and consider a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. Natural, unique fading is part of the character of this denim.

Always wash in cold water and air dry. Avoid using a machine dryer, as heat can cause significant shrinkage. If shrinkage has occurred, wearing them can help to stretch them back out slightly.
