FAQs
Is this jacket made with stretch denim?
No, this is a rigid, 100% cotton-blend denim (including organic and recycled fibers) designed for durability and a classic feel.
How should I wash my Lee 101 Rider Jacket?
Turn it inside out, wash in cold water on a delicate cycle, and always hang to dry to avoid shrinking the fabric.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
Yes, it follows a standard regular fit. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer a size up, but otherwise, your standard size should work.
What is left-hand twill?
Left-hand twill is a weaving technique that results in a smoother surface and a softer hand-feel as the garment breaks in compared to traditional right-hand twill.
Where is the denim sourced from?
The denim is crafted in the prestigious Kaihara mill in Japan, known for its high-quality production standards.
Troubleshooting
The fabric feels too stiff upon purchase
This is characteristic of 15oz raw denim. Wear the jacket regularly to allow the natural tension to release, or gently steam it to expedite the break-in process.
Color transfer or crocking
High-quality indigo dyes can rub off on lighter fabrics initially. Avoid wearing the jacket against light-colored upholstery until it has been worn and washed a few times.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality 15oz Japanese denim provides exceptional durability
- Classic fit that works well for various casual layering styles
- Environmentally conscious fabric blend
- Authentic design details like the iconic zig-zag stitching
Cons
- Rigid fabric requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
- Limited stretch due to the high-density cotton construction
- Requires careful laundering to preserve the deep indigo wash
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a rigid denim product, meaning it is sold in its rawest state. To maintain the integrity of the 15oz fabric and the depth of the dye, avoid frequent washing. When washing is necessary, turn the jacket inside out and machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a color-safe detergent. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and shrinkage. Because the jacket does not contain elastane, be sure to consult size charts carefully to ensure a comfortable fit through the shoulders and chest.
