Field Notes

Here’s one that everyone should recognise; the iconic ‘Riders’ 101J from Lee. This jacket holds its own very special place in denim history, and has been vastly imitated since its inception. Cut from a 13.5 ounce ‘left hand twill’ denim, this short cut, boxy shaped jacket marked the departure from the ‘Cowboy’ range of the early 20th Century.

Twin chest pockets, ‘Lee Riders’ tuck buttons, flat felled seams, and the instantly recognisable ‘zig-zag’ stitch are all there, while waist adjuster buttons have been added, to easily cinch in the shape. In the neckline of this iconic piece sits the brand’s logo, on custom woven rayon, as a final touch of quality assurance.

Garment Care

How to Wash
Step 1

When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.

Step 2

Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted 'lightning fades', and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!

Step 3

Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
