Lee 101 Rider Jacket Dry Red Cast - XXL

Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, self-finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents unraveling. It's often associated with higher quality and traditional denim manufacturing.

It's recommended to wash 'Dry' denim infrequently to allow it to develop a unique patina. When washing, turn the jacket inside out, use cold water, and a mild detergent. Hang dry away from direct sunlight.

Some shrinkage may occur, especially with the first wash, as is typical for raw denim. Washing in cold water and hang drying minimizes shrinkage.

The break-in period varies but typically takes a few weeks of regular wear. The denim will become softer and mold to your body shape over this time.

Key features include the zig-zag stitching on the placket, adjustable waistband tabs, twin chest pockets, and an internal pocket.

The jacket is a medium-weight denim, making it suitable for spring and autumn. It can be layered with warmer items for colder weather or worn over a t-shirt in milder conditions.

This is normal for raw selvedge denim. Wear the jacket regularly for several days to a few weeks. Occasional bending and flexing of the arms and body will help break in the fabric faster. Avoid excessive washing initially, as it can prolong the break-in period or lead to uneven fading.

This is an expected characteristic of the 'Dry Red Cast' finish and part of the jacket's charm. The denim is designed to fade uniquely based on wear patterns. If you prefer a more uniform look, consider washing the jacket inside out in cold water.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is otherwise correct, the seams will loosen slightly as the denim breaks in. For significant restriction, consult the care instructions to avoid further shrinking or damage.
