Lee 101s-Golden Selvedge

Pullover

Cons

Lee deserve more love around here

Same as XX-005.    I've been taking a long hard look at those XX-007s of which if I'm not mistaken is the over dyed model. My legs are pretty damn thin

If I were to purchase another pair of PBJ jeans what would be the general consensus. No more than $300

Is there any set way to size these lee jeans? I normally wear a 32 and sized down 1 to a 31 and I swear the waist is like 36 inches. I know all about vanity sizing but Lee seems to take it to a whole new level. I guess on a positive note I could tell everyone I wear a 29.

A wallet I picked up from a Taiwanese seller on eBay for $40. It was originally nubuck. After tanning and much work I am very pleased with the outcome

I recently found a pair of 1653 ltd in my closet that use to be two sizes to small. Considering my recent weight loss they now fit perfect. I'm willing to say they may be my best fitting jean over my PBJ-005 and Iron Heart-666. Seems like this model caught a bad rap. I'll post photos tomorrow if I can figure it out. Anyone know what year these were made?

Thx for all the feedback. They shall not touch water for many moons to come

I wouldn't. I can imagine they'd be a hell of a lot less comfortable after a wash/soak than when delivered. What would be your reasons for soaking them?

Honestly, I had zero intentions on soaking them. Just wanted to make sure I was correct. The fit is spot on but I was afraid if I didn't soak after washes the fades may be a bit off was the main reason

New to the Iron Heart family and recently bought the IH 666s-21. Have wore them around 3 times but here's my dilemma. I know they're sanforized but can I get a general consensus on soaking before wear? I've been reading around and I've gathered that they do not shrink and there's not really any reason to do a pre soak. Thx
