For the past century, our iconic denim pieces have been worn by cowboys, silver screen legends, and the hardworking people who built this country. We've faithfully recreated these archival styles with meticulous attention to detail, using premium fabrics from renowned, sustainable mills like Kaihara and Kurabo to honor Lee 101's illustrious legacy. From rich indigo blues to dry black hues, this heritage denim stands out with its distinct dyes, sophisticated slubs, and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship. The collection features remarkably authentic workwear pieces, selvedge denim shirting, jackets, jeans, as well as chambray and durable wool. After all, no one does selvedge and era-defining workwear quite like Lee.
The Lee 101® collection elevates artisan denim by combining heritage-inspired designs, world-class fabrics, superior cuts, clean lines, and vintage detailing, all complemented by a curated selection of raw denim pieces. Raw Japanese selvedge of this quality and construction is rare, making it a prized addition to any denim enthusiast’s collection. As your jeans wear in over time, they will mold to your body, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece of selvedge. With natural fading, whiskering, and a fit that is entirely unique to you, they become your denim masterpiece—only getting better with time.
