How does Lee 101 fit?
Compared with our other collections, Lee 101 pieces have a more structured fit and a stronger vintage, heritage-inspired feel. As many pieces are made from selvedge denim, they may feel stiffer at first than regular denim. However, Lee 101 pieces are designed to fit true to size and will ease with wear.
Why is the Lee 101 collection considered premium?
- Japanese selvedge denim: The denim pieces in this collection are crafted exclusively in Japan, giving them a prestigious level of craftsmanship.
- Vintage construction: The denim is woven using traditional shuttle looms, while select archival Lee pieces have been reintroduced with thoughtful updates compared with the original designs.
- High-quality details: Each piece features distinctive, carefully considered details, such as refined stitching, Lee branded buttons, smart internal pockets and more.
