Speaking of vintage G Jean's masterpieces, Lee's 101-J denim jacket may be mentioned alongside Levi's. The 101-J is attractive for its completed design that has not changed since ancient times.

At A'r139 Kamakura, we have received several Lee 101-J denim jackets.
Here, we will show you the history and details of 101-J along with the in-stock items.


History of Lee 101-J

Lee Lee 101J denim jacket G Jean
Back in 1931, Lee created the 101 slim jacket, commonly known as the "101-J". The 101-J is a cowboy line product made for cowboys, and in 1933, a winter storm rider jacket with an inner on the 101-J will be introduced.

The 101-J continues to attract people from all over the world, with the basic parts unchanged from the original design.

In the first place, Lee simply states when it started. Lee originated from HD Lee mercantile, founded by Henry David Lee in 1889, and is still the leading company in the denim and western style industry.
However, the business at the time of its founding was centered on the wholesale business of miscellaneous goods, and in fact it was not a company that made Western wear using denim.

The Lee brand started when HD Lee was dissatisfied with the quality and unstable supply of workwear at the time and decided to start by himself. In 1911, we set up our own factory and entered the business of manufacturing and selling workwear.
In 1913, Lee Union All (the originator of overalls), Lee COWBOY (later 101 series) using 13 ounce denim for horse riding, and the world's first zipper fly jeans 101J were produced one after another and recognized throughout the United States. It has become a brand to be used.

The length is short, and the waistband is wide and the arm is thick. The three-dimensional pattern work makes it fit comfortably on the body.
The two rounded chest pockets are slightly slanted inward so that cowboys can easily access the pockets with their other hand while riding.
