Leepro Appreciation

[crownzip]

Sympathy, your 101z's are looking really sweet. They're fading just like original Lee's. Here's a couple of quick photos of my year old Real McCoy's 101B's.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

thanks buddies, i realy love the way the fade, think it´s the kaihara denim...

the only thing i miss with them is the LEGTWIST :/

but anyway, imo leepros better match the originals than lvc´s do... specially the denim comes really close and then seeing the prices rising for lvc,

leepros are the better alternative... both, lovely rmc´s (can´t rep unfort.)

Cultizm recently added a 1952 101Z and 1936 101B to their Lee line. Are these made by Edwin? Any idea how they fit? Is the waist true to size, or larger?

[daynym]

I bought those at DC4 Berlin.

What comments do you guys get on the wide back pocket stance? Most of my buddies say that they look weird. Not that common today but I like to wear a piece of history...

I think they would be made by Edwin. I was wearing my 52s today, just checked and they're a couple of inches oversized in the waist. Being LHT though, they've most likely stretched more than RHT with wear.

My mates aren't in the habit of commenting on my arse

Well, not unless I bat my eyelids coquettishly.

In fact...cross post from WAYWT

Yes, they look like Edwin Lee's but it's difficult to confirm since they don't show the details like rivets, leather tags and zips. If they are Edwin Lee's they run about a size larger. For example my 30's 101B's are labeled a 32 waist but fit more like a 35 before washing. Also, they're sanforized so shrinkage is minimal.

I need to see fit pics of the 1966's! They look great.

[SLAB]

great looking jeans the past couple of pages, still need to pick up my first pair of Leepro's. anyone selling a pair of 101B/Z in size 28/29? (Warehouse, RMC, Lee Archives, etc)

[S-Town]

Question for the experts here: I've been browsing for japanese repros, and some stores have 1936 cowboys, and others have 1937. to my untrained eye, these look to be the same. are they??? or, are they actually different in some way? thanks.

Bumping my question...anyone???

Also, I just got a pair of 42s. They are RHT. Is this normal for the 42? I was under the assumption most if not all Lee's were LHT. Thanks.

Rare as hens teeth , will come up as a 34 waist . Lovely jeans . A bargain !!

[crownzip]

Here's my '44 Lee's after about eight years of wear on and off.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Looking good! What's the fit like?

[crownzip]

Cheers, They fit very much like the war time Lee's with a high rise and full cut in the legs. They're marked sz. 34 waist but actually measure 36 inches even after several cold water only washes.

crownzip: Insanely beautiful, i mean..seriously....

[CrashTestBrummie]

Thanks for the info!

i was in newcastle a couple of weeks ago, wandered into union clothing by chance. for some reason they had a massive stock of lee, edwin & nudie, but nowt else.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, I found Union Clothing when I was last in Geordieland...they also have a sister store round the corner, where they sell the rest of the stuff that they have listed online.

[killer b]

they had some beautiful lee japan's for under a hundred in the sale... i was sorely tempted.

spotted a load of selvedge lines all over the city though, which was a nice surprise - here in preston it's once every 6 months or so, if you're lucky...

I'm being sorely tempted by all the recent links in this thread! I'm recycling shedloads of stuff at the moment to fund a mortgage deposit, and the money is burning a hole in my PayPal pocket the minute it comes in!

You see a fair amount of selvage in Brum, mainly Naked & Famous or APCs, with the occasional PRPS. Better than nothing, I guess...

I shall henceforth stop posting such links and remove all temptation to ensure you do not stray from the path of thriftiness.

Alternatively, sell off your boot collection and buy a mansion!

So, these are actually 1944s? I thought maybe that was a typo and that they are actually a 30s model.

[Maynard Friedman]

I think you're right and although advertised as 44s, they're actually 37s.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Have we joined the Eurozone without anyone telling me?

[killer b]

no, but the exchange rate is pretty grim atm...
