Field Notes
For a modern jean with a slim silhouette and quality construction, you could do a lot worse than a Lee 101. Crafted from a comfortable mid-weight fabric which has been rinsed to remove any shrinkage, this jean offers a mid rise and some classic Lee detailing.
A green selvedge id adorns the edge of the fabric for a touch of quality assurance, while branded punch through copper rivets can be found throughout. Bar tacked stress points are characteristic of the brand, and a zip fly has been added to this model. Grab yourself a piece of denim history, at a fraction of the heritage price tag.

Garment Care
Step 1
When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.
Step 2
Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted ‘lightning fades’, and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!
Step 3
Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
