The new Lee Archives is a coveted WWII model. Facing history with sincerity, the new set-up faithfully reproduces it.

Lee ARCHIVES" is a project by Lee to revive legendary products in the modern age.

The first new model to appear in two years is the "WWII World War II Model. I am sure that many people's eyes changed color when they heard that. I am one of them.

WWⅡ 101J COWBOY JACKET ¥30,000+TAX

This "WWII model" refers to items that had various details simplified due to the disasters of World War II and material controls. The COWBOY JACKET born in 1930 faithfully reproduces the details of the Great War.

Buttons were changed from COWBOY engraved to laurel buttons that were generic.

Triple stitching, which is a sign of workwear, is double stitched on purpose.
The flap of the breast pocket has been changed to a rounded shape to reduce the sewing process.

Buckle backs were eliminated and only rivets and pleats were omitted.

The Lee brand is known for its left-hand twill, but this is a right-hand twill version, which was used until 1944.

WWⅡ 101 COWBOY PANTS ¥20,000+TAX

The 101-Z, on the other hand, is based on the button-fly type that appeared when the production of the zip type was halted due to the large number of zippers needed for military use.

The top button is a general-purpose laurel button, as on the jacket.

The fly button has been changed to an unmarked one.

Rivets on coin pockets and stitching and reinforcing fabric on back pockets are omitted.

The copper and brass rivets originally used in the front pockets and crotch have been replaced by steel, colorless, Lee-engraved "UFO rivets," as they are commonly called.

This is a very valuable piece, not only in terms of design, but also in terms of its historical background. This set-up, which exudes an aura comparable to that of the original, is a must-see, even if you are not a vintage freak.
