Denime Riders vs. Lee 101B '44 vs. Lee 101Z '52

[35mm]

I can't decide which to try and I'm a one jean at a time kinda fellow. Anyone have experience with one or all of these?

The Riders seem cool because they boast the heavier weight. And the Lee's are both equally inspiring, frankliy because they're vintage Lee's and about as pure as it comes.

Thanks.

All things being equal, I'd go for the Lee's - probably the 101Z's as the cut looks a little slimmer to my eye. But, as the Denime's are available for 60 pounds at Aero, and the other two are both more that twice that, the Denime's were the easy choice for me. I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail. I'm assuming you mean the Lee Japan models. The Lee Europe 101B's are also available for 60 pounds, but I understand they're a baggier cut, so I wasn't interested in those.

I do have another pair of Denimes, about 5 years old. They've worn beautifully.

I would not buy repro Lees when you can get the real deal for less than $100. I got my ~63 lee riders for around $60, and they are way nicer than the 2 repro I had a one time. they will also go up in value.

Live is too short for bad denim!
