Lee 101 Regular Rider Jacket - Blue - XL

Rigid denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed or treated after dyeing. It is stiff and unwashed, designed to be broken in by the wearer, developing unique fades and a personalized fit over time.

To maintain the denim's integrity and color, it is best to wash infrequently. When needed, wash inside out with cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid machine dryers.

Yes, as a rigid, unwashed denim, some shrinkage is expected after the first wash. The fit is designed to accommodate this, softening and molding to your body with wear.

The '101' is a heritage designation for Lee's most iconic products, representing their long-standing commitment to quality and style in denim.

Left-hand twill denim is woven in the opposite direction to standard right-hand twill. This can result in a softer feel and unique aging characteristics as the denim breaks in.

The denim is made from a blend including 21% recycled cotton and 20% organic cotton, alongside other materials to create a heavyweight 14 3/4oz fabric.

This is characteristic of rigid denim. Wear the jacket frequently for a few weeks to allow it to break in and soften naturally. You can also try washing it once in cold water on a gentle cycle and air drying to accelerate the softening process.

This is a natural characteristic of raw and indigo-dyed denim. The color will evolve with wear and washing, creating unique fades and a personalized look over time.

Ensure the buttonholes are aligned correctly with the buttons. The buttonholes may also be tight due to the rigid denim; consistent wear will loosen them.
