How does the bootcut fit run?

Bootcut jeans are snug through the thigh and flare from the knee down. The stretch cord gives some give, but the high waist sits at the natural waist, so check your waist measurement rather than your hip size.

What shoes work with a kick bootcut hem?

The flare is built for boots, clogs or a stacked heel. Flat sneakers can leave the hem dragging or looking unfinished.

Is the corduroy warm enough for winter?

Cotton corduroy is heavier and warmer than denim, so it works for fall and mild winter days. It is not lined, so it is not a cold-weather substitute for insulated trousers.

How should I care for stretch corduroy?

Wash cold and inside out, then line dry or tumble low. High heat shrinks cotton and breaks down stretch, and brushing the pile back up after washing keeps the plaid crisp.

How does this compare with a plain denim bootcut?

Same Lee bootcut shape, but the plaid cord is more textured and more formal. Plain denim is more versatile; this pair stands out more and pairs best with solid tops.
