for anyone interested in lee storm rider 101lj. there is a new version out in japan. the jacket is from lee japan and its the lee strom rider 101 lj 1962-1963 model.

here are two links to the jacket. as far as i know neshi sends international, furutaka does not.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have a 101J from the same era - the same jacket without blanket-lining and cord collar - and these are really the quintessential denim jacket, which heavily influenced Levi's 557.

hey paul. thanks for your coment. yes as u already know i am a big lee fan. and you were also right with the denim quality of the lee jeans, its just great. and the new 101LJ is realy nice looking, almost as the ones in your book. and yes i also have the 101J from 1946 althought the new one from this year seems to be longer then the one from last year. thats really odd, but......

best
