Vintage Deadstock 50's Lee Womens Western Pants

Here comes a pair of jeans for the vintage collector. Lee Jeans is one of the most iconic brands when it comes to making blue jeans. The company has it's roots in Kansas and was founded back in 1889. They introduced the Union-All work jumpsuit in 1913 and since then the brand has been synonymous with workwear. In the 30's Lee started making jeans intended to be worn by working cowboys and during the next couple of decades they supplied America with durable workwear for a numbers of different occupations.  

This pair is a of the Lee Womens Denim Pants from the 1950's. Like other brands, Lee went from being a workers garment before the second world war to making more casual clothes in the post war era. 

Lee jeans were also famous for using so called "left hand twill" fabric. This is a weaving technique that makes the diagonal pattern in the denim fabric rise from the right upwards to the left, as opposed to the more common denim used for jeans where the diagonal goes from left to right. Because of the twisting of the yarn that is added when a left hand twill is woven the fabric becomes softer and fades faster than a right hand twill, qualities that anyone who has worn a pair of vintage Lee jeans will recognize.

This pair is vintage and deadstock meaning that they have never been used. It lacks the original labels, but the paper size label still has som remnants left. This was a label that was meant to be removed after purchase. This is a great example of vintage jeans from the middle of the last century. We can´t find any size tag on the actual garment, that information was lost in with the depletion of the paper tag. Please read our measurements carefully to ensure a good fit.
