Imagine I bought both....

jeans - $3000

blacklisted on my credit card company - priceless lol....

-don't hate, appreciate-

Thos jeans are in great condition! no corrosion on the rivets! I have a book that says the Lee buckleback Cowboy jacket is the rarest and the holy grail of all denim jackets.

Carpe Denim!

luckily, evisu just happens to make an exact repro of that jacket. next best thing i suppose.

it'd be cool if lee starts reproducing their old stuff like levi's. i wouldn't mind some selvage pieces without having to sell a lung to support this denim habit.

I think the evisu one was lined wasn't it? I sould have bought that one acouple of years ago when one went for ~$100 on ebay.

it's raw selvage denim without lining. definitely my favorite jacket now until i can get a real one. i'm debating if i should go the dry clean route and keep it raw or wash it. i've had it for almost a year now without a wash, but it's so hard to get any discernable wear marks on the jacket.

lee cowboy jacket is pretty sick. i've handled a few in the past couple of years, they are really amazing and hard to find. i actually just purchased one for work (cant keep it unfortunatly) from a collector in colorado for $2500.00 , although the buckle was cut off.

Hi, newbie here.

Can someone point me in the direction of how to "date" a pair of vintage Levi's and Lee jeans? You know, someplace that discusses the placement of rivets, tags, seams, etc? I'm just getting into the vintage scene!

Thanks so much!

Betsy
