This piece from the incredibly rare Lee Archives collection feels as though it has been pulled from a Californian mine after almost a century. But looks can be deceiving; the brand have put so much detail into this early 20th Century reproduction, that it could trick even the keenest eye. Cut in a short, boxy shape, the 191J boasts a 13.5 ounce denim, which has been treated to a unique ‘heavy wash’ ageing treatment, while nuanced details such as branded gold buttons, a zip top pocket, and hidden brand label, stand this edition out from the crowd.
Two period correct pockets adorn the waist, and one further interior pocket has been added for convenience, while the iconic brand logo can be found in the rayon woven label in the neckline, for a touch of quality assurance.
