Yet again, Japanese streetwear label Stussy worked with the Lee denim brand for a short series that was released for the 2016 Fall/Winter season.
Considering the expansive past of the Lee denim brand, as well as the success of its two former collaborative collections with Stussy, it's likely that the latest line will prove to be popular. In order to make the efforts of both brands clear, all of the pieces come along with tags from each.
While jean jackets sport the Lee denim logo on the inside, the Stussy name is artfully embroidered on one side of the chest -- giving it an appearance that's reminiscent of retro workwear. On the denim pants, the logo for Lee can be see on the back above the pockets, while that of the streetwear brand is included subtly on the front.
