Lee Stella Wide Leg Jean - Blue - Size 24

Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, creating a tightly woven, durable fabric with a finished edge (the selvedge) that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and vintage denim production.

Wash in cold water separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer. Use a mild detergent for dark colors. Air dry to preserve the color and shape.

The 19% recycled cotton is incorporated into the fabric blend to improve sustainability. It contributes to the overall texture and feel of the denim without significantly altering its core characteristics.

The turn-up cuffs are tacked in place to display the selvedge. While a tailor can alter them, it is recommended to wear them as designed to showcase the selvedge feature. Re-tacking them yourself may compromise the aesthetic.

The Stella jean features a distinct ultra-high rise and an A-line wide leg. This is a more fashion-forward and retro-inspired silhouette compared to more traditional straight or slim-fit jeans.

The wide leg is very versatile. Sneakers create a casual look, while ankle boots, heeled boots, or even pointed-toe heels can be worn underneath for a more elevated style. The hem length should ideally graze the top of your footwear.

Yes, while they are made from low-stretch denim, they will conform to your body and stretch slightly with wear, especially in the waist and seat area, providing a more personalized fit.

The low-stretch selvedge denim requires a break-in period. Wear them for extended periods, especially while sitting, to help them conform to your body shape. You can also try bending your knees frequently to encourage flexibility.

Wash the jeans separately in cold water for the first few washes. Ensure they are fully rinsed and avoid overcrowding the washing machine.

The hems are intentionally turned up and tacked. For significant length adjustments, consult a professional tailor. Minor adjustments might be possible by carefully re-tacking the hem, but this risks altering the intended look.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade denim fibers. Air drying is crucial for maintaining softness and shape.
