Reproduced Archival Denim Capsules

Lee Introduces the Archives Series of Nostalgic Iconic Looks

— January 26, 2021 — Fashion
Lee introduces the Archives series as its latest offering. Ironically, the newest capsule is made up of old designs that celebrate its rich heritage. Taking old pieces, the brand reproduces them in a refreshing take. Lee references designs from 1943 including the WWII Cowboy Pants and Jacket.

The vintage look adopts the right twill denim instead of the usual left twill denim often used by the brand. This reproduction saves cost and still shows the brand's history. Some details include the chest pocket at the Cowboy Jacket that is made with a round flat to make sewing easier. The brand reduces details such as the pleats, rivets, and the signature back buckle. These details travel to the Cowboy Pants with the iron fly buttons.
