‘Lee 101+’ @ 125th Anniversary Limited Edition

2014 marks the 125^th anniversary of authentic denim brand Lee. Through a spirit of curiosity and exquisite craftsmanship, Lee has created a range of pieces that are considered pure denim classics. Among their many innovations is the Lee 101, the flagship of the brand that features a series of true classics,  the most sought after collection for denim enthusiasts. This season, Lee has reinvented the 101 collection, launching the ‘Lee 101+’ 125^th anniversary limited edition denim jackets and jeans, exclusive to 1,250 pieces worldwide, to kick start Lee’s 125^th Anniversary.

Rather than repeating its iconic designs, ‘Lee 101+’ is redefining the world of denim, adding a contemporary touch to existing authentic details as a tribute to 125 years of denim passion. The brand design team recreated the Lee 101 collection signature that was introduced in 1924, twisting the back pocket “x” signature stitching into a “+”, giving it the unique name: ‘Lee 101+’. Further mounting the value that each piece already holds, 16 oz. heavy denim jackets and jeans were created to celebrate Lee's 125^th anniversary. The saddle fit that belongs to the ‘Lee 101+’ limited edition jeans is preserved from a classic design – from past to present, this comfortable fit liberates all to casually explore the cities at one’s passion. Each limited edition item is labelled with a unique serial number guaranteeing the rarity of each piece.

 Lee ‘101+’ 125^th Anniversary Limited Edition denim jeans and jackets are made with 16oz. heavy denim. The ‘x’ stitching on the back pockets was twisted to ‘+’ to form the ‘101+’ signature.  Each Lee 125^th Anniversary Limited Edition ‘101+’ piece is labelled with a unique serial number - only 1,250 pieces globally. 

Lee brand designer incorporated different colours to the ‘Hair-on-hide’ leather patch and Lazy S back pocket stitching and selvedge to commemorate the Lee 125^th Anniversary Limited Edition ‘101+’ Collection for a new look. The ‘101+’ collection has injected playful and contemporary elements to the original designs such as the ‘Hair-on-hide’ leather patch, coloured selvedge and aggressive washing effect that justifies the ‘101+’ collection as one that is both durable and constantly evolving.
