FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying and is often considered a mark of quality and authenticity in jeans.
How can I make my jeans last longer?
To extend the life of your jeans, wash them less often, use cold water, and opt for air drying when possible. Washing inside-out also helps protect the fabric and color.
Can I wear these jeans for formal occasions?
The Haden Relaxed Straight Jean is primarily designed for casual wear due to its relaxed fit and denim material. However, the blue wash and polished finish allow for smart-casual styling with the right accompanying pieces.
What is the benefit of the recycled cotton?
Using recycled cotton reduces the environmental impact associated with cotton production, such as water and energy consumption, and diverts textile waste from landfills.
How does the stretch affect the fit and comfort?
The added stretch provides greater flexibility and ease of movement, preventing the jeans from feeling restrictive and ensuring comfort throughout the day, even with the relaxed fit.
What is the significance of the white PU patch?
The white PU patch is a signature branding element from Lee, adding a distinctive and sophisticated detail to the back of the jeans.
Troubleshooting
Inconsistent Sizing
Refer to the size chart provided and measure your waist and inseam accurately. Consider the 'relaxed' fit and how it aligns with your preferred fit. If unsure between sizes, it may be helpful to consult customer reviews or try them on in-store if possible.
Stiffness after washing
This can be normal for new denim, especially selvedge. Wear the jeans for a short period to help them regain their shape and softness. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.
Color transfer from denim
Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors for the first few washes, as some color bleeding may occur. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored upholstery or clothing when the denim is new and damp.

Care Instructions:
