Full details

The Lee Relaxed Rider Jacket in Rekindle (faded black) is designed for adult males seeking a classic, heritage-inspired denim jacket with a contemporary relaxed fit. Its key benefit is the authentic 13oz 100% cotton denim construction that offers a structured yet comfortable feel, perfect for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that 100% cotton denim can require a break-in period for optimal comfort and may shrink if not cared for properly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable

100% cotton denim requires a break-in period. Wear the jacket frequently, move naturally, and wash it according to care instructions to soften the fabric over time.

Jacket appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low setting, or preferably air drying. Avoid high heat, which causes shrinkage in cotton denim.

Fading is uneven or not as desired

Uneven fading is a natural characteristic of denim, especially with wear. For more consistent fading, follow the recommended wash and dry methods. Avoid excessive bleaching.

Buttons are difficult to fasten

Ensure the buttonholes are aligned correctly. New denim can be stiff; the buttons will become easier to use as the jacket breaks in.
