Product Information
Full details
The Lee 101 S Slim Jean is designed for the adult male seeking a classic, comfortable fit with a premium feel. Its key benefit lies in its construction from high-quality selvage denim, offering durability and a timeless aesthetic. A potential consideration is that the 'slim' designation refers to the leg opening, while the thigh and knee maintain a regular fit, which may differ from expectations for a very slim-cut jean.

FAQs
What does '101 S Slim Jean' mean?
The '101' refers to a specific Lee denim line known for its heritage and quality. 'S' typically denotes the slim fit, although in this case, it refers to a regular fit through the thigh and knee with a regular leg opening, distinguishing it from extremely narrow cuts.
What is selvage denim?
Selvage denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality and traditional denim manufacturing.
How should I care for dry blue denim?
It's best to wash dry blue denim as little as possible, using cold water and mild detergent. Air drying is recommended to preserve color and prevent shrinkage. Spot cleaning is ideal for minor marks.
Will these jeans stretch?
Yes, like most cotton denim, these jeans will stretch slightly with wear, especially in the waist and seat, conforming to your body shape over time.
What is the difference between this and other Lee fits?
The 101 S features a regular waist, thigh, and knee with a regular leg opening. Other Lee fits may offer slimmer or looser variations in these areas.
Can I wear these jeans for work?
Depending on your workplace dress code, the dry blue finish and regular fit can be suitable for smart-casual or relaxed work environments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on to ensure comfort. The waist should be snug but not tight, and the length should allow for a slight break over your footwear. Check the size chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff after purchase
This is normal for raw or dry denim. Wear the jeans regularly; they will soften and conform to your body with use.
Jeans shrink significantly after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and air drying. Avoid hot water and high heat in the dryer, as these can cause excessive shrinkage.
Uneven fading or wear marks
This can be a characteristic of selvage denim's unique aging process. Consistent wear patterns will naturally develop unique fades over time.
Button fly is difficult to close
Ensure all buttons are aligned correctly before fastening. The buttonholes may be tight initially and will loosen with wear.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and appearance of your selvage denim jeans:
- Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans sparingly to preserve the indigo dye and the integrity of the denim. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out, use cold water, and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: Air dry your jeans whenever possible. Hang them to dry away from direct sunlight. Tumble drying on low heat can be used sparingly if absolutely necessary, but air drying is preferred to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric.
- Shrinkage: Raw or dry denim may shrink slightly after the first wash. Consider this when selecting your size. Avoid hot water and high heat drying to minimize shrinkage.
- Maintenance: For minor stains, spot cleaning with a damp cloth may suffice.
