Fardin, you are the MAN !!

That's the !st 1945/6 Lee 'Riders' jacket but with the Lee 'Cowboy' buttons (crossover variation) we discussed earlier - same as the one on the cover of the David Little book.

That 101LJ is nice, and it's called a 101-LJ, rather than the Real McCoy's early version, which was titled 1101LJ (why.. I do not know). Although their current version (you posted a link somewhere before) isn't bad.

Are you gonna get one? What size are You? What sizes do they go up to?

I've got a couple of denim jackets on ebay as I've got WAay too many..

[fardin]

well i think i am going to get one, although i am also interested in the 101LJ although the 1945 rider jacket looks so great. both of em are really special.

isnt it amazing. i didnt even know about that one till you posted the pics earlier. and now wearhouse is making some repros. about the size i dont know yet. i wear a 40 in the 1934 lee cowboy and 38 in the current lee japan rider 101j . so i think your jackets are going to be to big for me

[Skeese]

someone should get these, one size left ...

Speaking on 1930s jeans, after working like 70 hour weeks for the whole summer, I finally got some time off. To celebrate, I washed my one-year (sort of) old Lee 101B 1939s, fifth wash I think... Anyway, I'll go ahead and post how awesome I'm feeling right now

Got my lady to showcase them, I guess the fit isn't that awesome on her. I adjusted the color balance and contrast to try to show off the color realistically.

What's hanging out to dry?

opeth when's your next trip to stockholm due?

[nemoulette]

Hell no, no filthy noveau riche kids spraying champagne around here...

(an awful lot of pretentious types riding around in jaguars with "ranelid" custom plates though.... we have this old house outside of åhus)

[lilldavid]

ah Skåne would have been my second guess. got confused by the pine forest...

looks pretty!

[nemoulette]

the forest was actually planted sometime in the 1800s due to the sand blowing in over the land and crop, its awesome although im coming down with a pretty bad case of cabin fever

[lilldavid]

hehe better hit Ã…hus City then for some ice cream

[nemoulette]

yup. if only nestle hadn't grabbed ahold of åhus glass. luckily, the boat + bar is still there. nothing like ordering three spoons of ice cream and getting... 12.

[robbojnr]

trying to decide between the mc coys 101b or z's

whats the difference any sizing for these pre and post soak

thanks

[JoyDiffusion]

Sole Food Shop in the UK has 101 B and Z on sale right now... great prices.

https://www.solefoodshop.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Lee+101B+Gold+Label+Selvedge

I'm wondering, is anyone able to recognize this particular version of the 101 B (based on tag/stitching/etc.)?

Is it the one which is vanity-sized by 2 or 3 inches? (Thus tag size 32 = 34 inch waist?).

And have you got any experience with stretching? I seem to recall hearing they stretch a lot... but too lazy/busy to conduct proper search. Any advice would help, thanks.

opeth when's your next trip to stockholm due?

It might get delayed since I'm thinking about moving to Oslo in the autumn, but if I have enough cash I will surely come. December/January is pretty much decided on since I get a nice tax refound then but if I'm heading over there before that I will definately let you know!!

[superBobo]

Nemo, great jeans and pics! That spot looks lovely, even though I got quite the aversion against Skåne after my Malmö-era...

As it is very obvious, my logo is Lee inspired. I also used a LHT for my first project.

Here are a couple photos of my Edwin repro Lee war time repros after about four years of honest wear and a couple of cold water washes. The upside down arcuate and laurel wreath button fly are cool unique details of war time Lee denim.

Wow looks good. I have a brand spanking new one of the same. I guess this is what I'll look like after 4 years.

grant they look beautiful. one of my favorite lee repros. and the right hand denim i so different compaired to their 50s left hand denim pairs.

[Dr_Heech]

A good reminder of what it's all about - wearin' em ...

+rep for you sir !

[mikedbt5]

Me an Lee jeans do not have a happy hstory , I have never had a pair that worked out fit wse or after wash that I really liked . However , that hasnt stopped me . Got a pair form Cultizms sale , 1966 101z , which are a good fit . I have worn them for a month and a half , everyday , 4m walk from work , gardening etc,... they are unwashed . Might just keep them ...

[fardin]

hey mike they look great too, why dont you want to keep them?

[mikedbt5]

Thanks . Figue of speech ... I do like them , particuarly the w33 fit and the greyish colour changing in certain areas with wear , dirt and sweat .

[crownzip]

Your 101Z's are gonna look killer after more wear - just be patient and try and avoid washing as long as you can stand it.

did you soak these first, if so was there any shrinkage ..

i was going to get a pair i hear they come up big in the waist

[mikedbt5]

A quick lukewarm soak (inside out ) to get rid of the stiffness . This model is sized up one inch on the tagged waist size and do stretch . If you are a eg ,w32 , get a w30 .

[fardin]

listen to master mike!!
