LEE 101 Rider DRY

The Rider is the first "slim fit jeans" introduced by Lee in 1950 and popularized shortly afterwards by James Dean in "East of Eden". Unlike many other vintage models, this model has a zipper, which was the special feature of these trousers at the time. The excellent fit makes the model so popular and successful because it offers a good balance between a contemporary, slim silhouette and a fit suitable for everyday wear. The Lee Denim Blue Selvage RAW denim used is sanforized, which prevents or greatly minimizes shrinkage. Nevertheless, a shrinkage of 2 cm should be expected during the first few washes, but this is already taken into account as an allowance at the factory. The RAW denim used by Lee for this series develops a particularly attractive "fade out" patina. 

 

The 101 collection is Lee's premium series with many authentic styles from the archives. The designs are based on models from the last 100 years, which are produced again and again with new exclusive materials in small editions. Many models from the LEE 101 series are limited and only exclusive, small quantities are available.
