Lee 101 Regular Rider Jacket Dry Red Cast - S

'Dry Red Cast' refers to the denim's state when it is sold – unwashed and undyed with a particular red cast in its blue indigo dye. This allows the denim to age naturally and develop personal fades and character over time.

To preserve the denim's integrity and encourage natural fading, wash it infrequently in cold water with a mild detergent, and always air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Yes, some shrinkage may occur, particularly if washed in hot water or machine dried. Washing in cold water and air drying minimizes this. The jacket will also stretch slightly with wear to conform to your body.

Selvedge denim is produced on specialized looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and a distinct texture.

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically ranges from a few weeks to a couple of months of regular wear. The jacket will become noticeably softer and more comfortable over time.

While the denim is durable, wearing it in heavy rain may cause significant color transfer and affect the fading process unevenly. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture, especially when new.

This is normal for raw/dry selvedge denim. Wear the jacket regularly, especially when moving around, to break in the fabric. Consider wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath initially.

Avoid contact with light-colored fabrics or upholstery, especially when the jacket is new or damp. Wash the jacket separately for the first few washes to minimize color transfer.

This is an intentional characteristic of selvedge denim that develops unique character with wear. Natural fading occurs based on your movement and habits.

Selvedge denim can shrink, especially with hot water or machine drying. Always wash in cold water and air dry to minimize shrinkage. If shrinkage occurs, wear the jacket to gently stretch it back to size.
