i have a pair of the 1937 Lee 101 cinchbacks

i love mine....they fit very nicely (if you like the classic 501 style of fit) and are a little roomy but not overly loose. Couldnt tell you much about wear since I like to keep them dark. Def one of my fave pairs of jeans.

Thanks was just wondering how loose they are, love the classic style of jean,my favourite at the moment is the S501 1944 model.Have a pair of the Lee Riders fiftys version and they are gorgeous,thanks for your help.

they are def similar to my 501xx in fit. not as loose/baggy as my Levis 201xx 1929 model

you have good taste in jeans tho (as it mirrors my own )

They're great jeans. Made by Edwin. I think their sanforized denim comes from Nisshinbo. How's the shrinkage?

(I had some Lee reissues that were sanforized - then the later European reissues suddenly had normal fabric, but when I checked, I discovered the sanforized ones had eventually shrunk, more than 3%, too. )

just out of interest, how do the 50s version fit?

I have some 1944 lees and they're quite loose on me, compared to the 101y cowboy jeans which are more like 1947 501s.

I remember doing an online translation of a japanese site, and pretty much everything up to the 1950s lee repro was classed as loose fit straight leg, then everything after was regular leg

cheers

my Lee 1937 buckleback (Japan reissue) are sanforized but they shrank a bit more than the tag indicates (1%). they started off around 34" and are now about 32.5". which turned out perfect as they were a tad big when i first got them. and straight/loose is a good way to describe the leg type.
