The Lean Dean fit, as the name indicates, is a comfortable stretch denim that has been indigo-dipped 16 times and is unrinsed to create a rigid look that will shrink somewhat more than other models of stretch denim. The result is a slightly tapered leg that falls just below the knee. Dean's website describes these jeans as having "a unique wash that creates a soft, faded appearance" and says they are "perfect for summer days when you want to look good but not fuss over your clothes." They are available in several colors including black, blue, gray, green, khaki, red, white, and yellow. The size range is 34"-42", with a 36" waist being the most common size. These jeans usually sell for between $120 and $150. Interesting fact: The Dean family business was founded in 1905 by Edward Dean. He originally made shoes out of leather imported from England. Over time, he expanded his business to include other items such as handbags, belts, and clothing. In 1960, Dean hired a young designer named Levi Strauss who had no experience making jeans. He believed that by hiring someone who was not an expert at making this type of garment would allow him to experiment with different designs and techniques.
