Structured Denim
Vintage 1980s Lee Riders 200-0147 Straight-Leg Jeans // 30x34
$48
Lee's 200-0147 does the useful thing vintage denim is supposed to do. A high rise, clean straight leg, and rigid 100% cotton body, unmistakably lived in. The paint stains and scattered marks are the attraction. They give the medium-blue wash the kind of unrepeatable surface that cannot be designed into new denim: worked-in, accidental, and entirely its own. This is patina with a pulse, not pristine deadstock. Made in the USA and union-made, with a Lee Riders button, copper-tone rivets, zip fly, five-pocket construction, Lazy S back-pocket stitching, and the black-and-gold Lee tab. The paint, rust-toned spots, and darker marks across the front and legs are shown in detail. No holes were observed in the provided photos. The visible construction remains sound. Tagged 30 x 34. A lean, high-rise straight fit with the sort of line that does not need help. Wear it with a white shirt and a severe belt. Or a small knit and shoes that know better.
