Leepro Appreciation

[mikedbt5]

ChuckO , thanks . At 15yrs old I would have thought that myself but nearly 28yrs later it is sadly nostalgia . Still , it's hard to beat Johnny Burnette & the R&R Trio ( theres a couple of great clips on youtube of them from around 1955/56 )and Edwins Lee repros are great to wear .

cross post from the evolution thread - These are the SDA X's-25, Leesque back pockets and coin pocket, LHT, fairly low rise and slim fitting, button fly and full purple line selvage. About a year and a half, plenty normal washes.

Those SDA are really nice. I never considered Leepros before, but I'm very tempted.

Do you happen to know if they have the same denim as the 003? I already have a pair of those and would rather try a different denim.

Nah, it's like a lot of the Japanese Denim sites say "Fashion fades, style is forever". There's been a lot of good music since then but great is great.

Yay, very cool. In fact, you've given me an idea for a thread...

here's a photo of my '44 Lee repro's.

[40ozprophet]

man those are fuckin awesome! love the vintage fades, any more pictures?

[crownzip]

Thanks man, Yeah Lee really did a great job on these WWII era repros. Here are a couple detail photos showing label, buttons and rivets which they did a great job reproducing. It's really a shame you have to order from Japan or Aero to get a great pair of Lee's!

^ love the arcs....they look a bit boxy in the bum tho. They're not STF, right? I guess if that's the look you were going for either way, then whatevs. Will be interesting to see them worn-in.

[cheep]

yeah, i sized up to a 32 on these... and i fucking love the fit... skated in them yesterday and they are fitting better now

not stf... but like the tag says they could shrink 3 to 5%

[gimmegimme]

They're an interesting cut. I'd avoid them if I had a big ass, but otherwise they look great. Always nice to see LHT.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

has anyone washed a pair of 101z gold label jeans? how much did they shrink in length?

[the_state]

i duno... they might be good for big assed folk like myself b/c they have room.

Possibly...but lee's tend the have the backpockets set farther apart which makes your ass look even bigger. I know mine make my ass look big, and I'm a skinny bitch.

[the_state]

do you know if the Jin's have far spaced pockets? i really want a pair LHT/Leepros as my next pair of jeans but i'm concerned my ghetto booty might be too might to handle.

selvage on the evisu

[Charlie Delta]

It's all an optical illusion...

Hahaha

Mine just looks flat in them...

[gimmegimme]

Really? Seriously, whenever I wear them, someone will say something like "when did you grow an ass???".

Unfortunately, something strange happened and a hot wash made the inseam shrink too much...so now they're too short too. I can't win with these. They'll be shorts soon me thinks.

[Charlie Delta]

Hmmmm, I guess there's not enough there to work with...

(any excuse to post own ass up on internet...)

[gimmegimme]

^ it's the anti-ass!!

[Charlie Delta]

No need to start with the insults....

heh heh...

again, does anyone have washed a pair 101z gold label jeans? my pair stretched so much, aren´t skinny anymore :/
