Scye works in collaboration with Lee and UNITED ARROWS on a three-way capsule collection to kick off the new 2025 year. It is rooted in the expertise of all contributing efforts as it fuses the roots of Lee from the 1940s and the unique patterning by Scye.
The capsule is heavy with denim materials and it starts with the base foundation of the Cowboy Jacket silhouettes originally by Lee. It is now transformed by elements of Scye to make it more modern. Another notable piece in the range is the Loco jacket, which is a pocket-less design with two patches and 'pivot' sleeves to add a comfortable range and movement for wearers, complete with the 101 Cowboy Pants revised to have a straight cut.
