In 2022 Lee launched a specially curated vintage-offering platform called Lee Archives, designed to resurrect classic pieces from their long history rather than typical seasonal new-arrivals.
The items come from Lee’s old catalog including jackets, jeans, overalls and more, representing the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s.
The purpose of the archive program is to celebrate heritage pieces,. To offer more sustainable, pre-loved, or vintage-style denim. And also to tap into renewed interest in vintage and heritage clothing among younger shoppers.
This Fall’s capsule features the trucker denim jackets from the ’70s and ’80s. Highlights include black and light and dark wash indigo Rider jackets with orange peel effects, a rare version of the Rider jacket with frayed cuffs and only two chest pockets and Storm Rider that’s over 40 years old and is in perfect condition.
Jackets retail for $200-$225 and are available on the Lee website.
