Leepro Appreciation

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

True, but I'd rather have Sterling than the Euro, all day long...

damn, anyone know how to drop 2-3 inches of your waist quick?

seriously, thanks for sharing hope someone gets those, they're a steal @ 100 euro.

Robbie, they'll probably measure 32 raw and shrink very little. If you need something a little bigger, plenty of sizes left in these for the same price;

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!

Late reply, but so far I've shifted seven pairs of shoes/boots but seem to have acquired a few more along the way...

I have a gently worn(no fades) 34 in the European 1930s hair-on-hide. I'd cut you a sweet deal!

thanks for the heads up.

I actually have a pair of Lee's I need to put wear into. As much as I'd like another pair I'll probably need to hold off for the time being.

approx 6mos effective wear :: around soak x5 + washed cold x1 :: more like Leepro-styled [since they're not even LHT], than actual Leepro, but it's the thought that counts_ i guess. had started them about a yr ago, had to take the backseat for my other stuff_ concurrently, back on the saddle, as with the 105. .

WarehousexLee (101B & Z) coming soon to BiG

[aho]

^holy shite YES! and price has been adjusted (lower than proxy)!

[jstavrin]

Conveniently enough, I'm due for a new pair of jeans. I anxiously await the measurement chart.

[aho]

^Been meaning to pick up a pair for years but always miss out on sizes when they hit the sale page at BEARS...Proxying has always been a bit more exp. on these so now that BiG is carrying them with converted prices I no longer have anything holding me back...

[Happy Hooligan]

I might even be up for a pair. Is that the cheapest they go?

Indeed, and you can't beat BiG sizing charts--they'll make my decision easy (I have a feeling the 101z will be too slim, but we'll see).

X-post WYWTD...Lee Cowboy I picked up from the guys at Sivletto in Sweden

[fardin]

awesome matt, looks great on you. killer outfit, nice glasses, guess the patrik tee is under the jacket!!! just love this jacket, though christophs ranch blouse looks great too.

[crownzip]

I agree with Fardin, your Lee Cowboys jacket looks great and fits perfect!

[Rivet Head]

Thanks guys! Kind of a goofy pic, but I was in a rush...

[Happy Hooligan]

the fit is spot on. I like it a lot.

[jacoavlu]

maybe this is a dumb question... is the LHT denim on the WH Lee 101B/Z exclusive to those jeans or have WH used that on any other cuts?

[Rivet Head]

Thanks HH!

[jaspar]

^ What differentiates these from ordinary S0110xj's? Smoother, less slubby LHT? A little darker?

[BrownMetallic]

^actually, the "ordinary" is the special one, im;)

the incontrovertible proof:

unhemmed_ but, been hemmed since @BiG [Lot# 10]:

Diff. denim than the previous 101 B/Z's I believe that were recently released...the Riders that BiG carries are the half selvedge variety! Although I'm not sure if it has been used before on other pairs?

And regarding the price, the half selvedge actually run cheaper than the full selvedge models in Japan, accounting for the lower price difference...Still cool jeans, I want!

Picked up a pair of the 101B's at BiG....Depressingly, they are too small! I guess I didn't account for the ultra high rise on these...They fit perfect throughout the leg but the waist is unbearable. I'll have to let them go since you can't return hemmed jeans...29 x 30 if anyone's interested, I'll have a sale thread soon. Fair warning for all though, esp. if you are a first time Leepro guy like me...
