Lee Jeans... Dare I say it!??

lee 101z

nice fit, acceptable quality, good price--->>>everyday jeans

[M4TM]

i love my lee's... fit is good, comfortable, looks nice... and cheap!

i know denim elitists don't like cheap jeans though, no matter how good the cut, fit and quality...

Does anyone have waist measurements for 101z's with a 30 waist, or a 32 waist? Id like to get a pair but Im not sure what size I need. Im not sure whats what on the rakuten page because by my math the cm conversions dont sound at all right.

[truestorytravis]

The only fit that is acceptable to me are the 101z......but its my least favourite cut from the pairs of jeans i have. I've tryed many styles from lee and have never found a cut that i really like.

same here, except i could do with a slightly higher rise. i 've got a pair of resin coated 101z with greyish warp and brownish weft by lee europe; they feel greasy as hell and i love 'em. they're very tough to fade as well. i've been wearing them for a month on an almost-daily basis and i've barely made a dent in them. i'm also feeling the fit more than my eternals or sda's right now and they don't have the wide pocket separation that their old school cousins have.

construction is great: they've got a two-tone double-stitched, felled inseam; heavy bar tacks on the back pockets; nice looking rivets and a donut hole top button all in a dull brass color; half-lined back pockets with that great lazy "s"; they feel way more solid than my nudies. drawback for some: zip fly.

as far as price, i didn't think they were that cheap. i got mine on sale for ~$140 and they retail for ~$180--more expensive than sugarcane and about the same as eternals or sda's i think (sans shipping to the usa). so yeah, get yer 101z's.

i have the black ones that every kid in sydney seems to have!

i love them too...although i wish i ahdn't got a size bigger than i needed.

[truestorytravis]

yeah, i sized down -1. they were real tight at first but now they're pretty much spot on.

Hey, can I see what these look like? I love my 101zs, but they're nothing like what you're describing.

[truestorytravis]

give me some time. i have to steal a camera.

Can anyone suggest a brand that fit similar to Lee ?

[truestorytravis]

why not just buy lee?

[partytaco]

not very fond of the new or newer lees or really anything by lee past the 70's but i think the edwin made repros are nice (maybe the nicest repros i have seen. at this point i think i've seen most of the model years and the quality is consistent and topnotch while a lot of brands like warehouse or sugarcane if you really look at the guts of the jeans look like they were made on friday night at 5pm) and i have some buzz rickson and 45rpm lee types which i love. on the older pre 60's lees the back pockets are set almost all the way to the outside seam which i know drives some people crazy.

sugarcane 45

45rpm umii

warehouse used to make lee repros, i think

and studio d'artisan, too

but as other people have already mentioned, the edwin-made lee repros are very fine.

[dk7m]

hmm i love my lee 101b edwin repros but i had to size down from a natural 32 to a 29 waist... and they're still a bit baggy haha

[heyzeus]

Thanks, Lee have always fitted me perfectly so ive never really gone for anything else. Ive leart lots more about denim since ive been coming to the forum and just wanted to see if theres anything else that fits similar for options sake .... Thanks again Chicken

hey no sweat. i was right about warehouse, and here are two of them. by the way, i've made a bid on a brand new pair of warehouse 1002 before on yahoo!auction japan, but someone beat me out by about ¥100. the closing bid was really low and that loss hurt. doh.
