Leepro Appreciation

[Happy Hooligan]

Loving those work pants.... I'd say they were vintage if I didn't know...

[SLAB]

lovely dungarees; they actually have those at the Lee flagship store in Antwerp. Lots of other nice Archives goodies as well

[mikedbt5]

Puttin these on supermarket - Lee 101z 1966 . Unwashed and now out of production . Going for a song plus postage .

Thought I'd post an update of my eleven year old Edwin Lee's. They've really taken on the look of classic Lee's denim with the slight greenish cast to the denim. Edwin really did a killer job with the classic 30's Lee cowboy pants.

Damn those are freakin gorgeous! Very nice evo Crownzip! which Leepro are you wearin these days? you told me but i forgot.

[aho]

[Snake]

[tvshooter]

[drz]

[SLAB]

[crownzip]

Thanks everyone. TV, I've been wearing the Real McCoy's Lee 101b's for the past couple weeks. I bought the Hair on Hide Lee's from Ken at Aero.

i've a few pairs of lees that are a bit ambiguous on where they come from - the label gives the details of the importer (czech republic iirc) but not where they were made... will they be the eastern europe made lees?

speaking of Leepro's, thank goodness for Warehouse (from their Archives blog...)

I think they're probably the ones made in Poland. I had a great pair (from American Classics) but I sold them so I cant check the label. Paul T has posted some great images of several pairs of his on here somewhere. Nice jeans.

Those are amazing! Thanks for posting.

Has anyone ever had experience with Lee 101 Selvage addicts? The fit is 101 S?

Thanks in advance

[crownzip]

These wartime Edwin Lee's have a less contrasty fade compared to other Lee's that to my eye are in keeping with vintage 40's Lee's. Unlike LVC which I think still uses a cotton/poly thread, Lee's are sewn with all cotton thread so you get more thread wear just like the originals. Notice how the arcuate stitching is almost worn away. I've also had the re-stitch part of one of the back pockets. They've seen a lot of wear but have only been cold water washed a couple times and hung to dry.

Nice fades crownzip.

Just thought I'd post this fit pic of my late sixties Lee 100J, worn with my Royxcones -

Great for a summer evening.

[crownzip]

Dr. Lee fits perfect. Looks like you have some nice fades on those Roy's as well.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Dr. Lee fits perfect. Looks like you have some nice fades on those Roy's as well.

Ditto that. Also loving the wartime Lees...one day, eh?

[killer b]

as time goes by, i'm finding myself prefering lees over other iconic jean designs... the shield pocket and arcs are superior even to levis.

i feel a bit like a traitor saying that too...

[jlaz93]

I'm interested in picking up a pair of lee 101's like this

http://us.asos.com/LEE-101-Lee-101-S-K-Selvage-Dry-Straight-Jeans/w2l7k/?iid=1496880&SearchQuery=lee%20101&Rf-700=1001&Rf-400=12322&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Kselvagedry&mporgp=L0xlZS0xMDEvTGVlLTEwMS1TLUstU2VsdmFnZS1EcnktU3RyYWlnaHQtSmVhbnMvUHJvZC8.

But there isnt much info of them on this thread or online in general, has anyone had experience with lee 101? or seen anything about the quality or sizing?

[Mr Black]

Is anyone able to give me any info on this? Is it an Edwin Lee or Lee Japan? or indeed someone else. When was it made, how many etc etc? I'm told it's a repro of a barn find but that's pretty much all I know about it.

Thanks

[robbie]

That is made by Warehouse. Warehouse.co.jp was selling it 5-6 months ago... I added it to my svpply.

[Mr Black]

Cool. any further info? Do you know how much it was selling for? and/or do you still have a link to the item on my svpply?

warehouse.co.jp seems to link to a gaming company or something

[robbie]

still on the site, 50,400 JPY, the site has a ton more info also.

[Mr Black]

I could kiss you!!!! you've made me a happy man.

BTW- i notice the one on that link is slightly different... it's a 1966 embroidery and also has embroidery on the arm.

Would mine be an older repro?

[robbie]

I would guess so.

[xEMBx]

I need help dating a Lee denim jacket. The tag says made in the USA and the buttons say "Lee Riders", they have nothing stamped on the back. It also only has two flap pockets on the breast, no slash pockets or hidden inside pocket. Any help would be appriciated.I

[Mr Black]

A pic'd be useful?
