Denim Jacket Type 4 “Lee Type” Establishing a Unique Position

The denim jackets of “Lee,” one of the three major denim brands, are characterized by their unchanging style, with no major design changes from the time of their birth to the present. It is often compared to the Levi’s 3rd type “557” because of its similarity in detail. However, while Levi’s has been made for miners to wear, Lee’s is made for cowboys to wear, so it has fewer metal parts to prevent serious injuries when falling off a horse or being hit by a strong impact. Levi’s has also influenced many brands, and many brands make replicas of Lee’s denim jackets.

Denim Jacket Lee Type 1 “Lee 101J

The 101J is a denim jacket created in the 1930s, before the Levi’s 3rd model was born. The zigzag stitching, diagonally cut breast pocket, cat-eye buttons on the side adjusters, and the parallel stoop from the pocket to the hem are traditional design features. Incidentally, the number of Lee’s vintage items is small, so those in good condition are highly valued. Although the design has not been changed significantly, there are many points that will make vintage lovers groan, such as the lack of ® on the pithmark tag and the different lettering on the buttons depending on the year. Another characteristic of Lee is the strong vertical fade.

Denim Jacket Lee Type ② “A.P.C.

A.P.C.” is a French denim brand. The brand name is an abbreviation of “Atelier de Production et de Creation,” which means that the designer’s name is not associated with the design of the clothes, and the brand is thoroughly committed to simple basics in its designs. From Arpesey, we present a denim jacket with a Lee-type design. It reflects the diagonally cut chest pockets and round flaps. It has a softer impression that is different from the Levi’s type of rugged items.
