As part of that new Lee “heritage” experiment comes this faded leather rider jacket. The Lee 101  jacket is made from 100% lamb leather with a quilted liner making it incredibly soft and warming on the body. The key to this jacket is the fit. Simply proper. Cultizm has them.

The recent May and June issues of Japanese fashion magazine Men’s Non-No have to be the best of 2009. The range of products showcased in Non-No’s pages have been amazing. The editorials, product, and styling are above and beyond what we normally expect from these guys. One of our favorite features in the June 2009 issue is a nice look at Lee Japan 2009 sandal line. These sandals are a little bit of everything. The black and brown are classic; simple and smooth and made for just about anyone. But if you feel like stepping up and out try on a pair of the wine colored bad boys. Unfortunately to get a pair you may have take a detour to Japan. (cw)

Lee Japan gets all farmhand on us with their Spring/Summer 2009 collection looks. With their archive collection beginning to trickle over from Japan into Europe and the States, we’re hoping to see more shine on their heritage collection. The United States has more than one great denim company. They just simply have to show us the same kind of love that the Japanese market gets. Come on, Lee. Push it.

We had chance to take a good look at the Lee “Archive” Denim Collection that will be showing up in Europe this coming Fall. It’s a legacy move from the Lee Company who have finally gotten around to digging into their vaults to re-construct classic cuts from their heritage. The Archive Collection from Lee is interesting on a number of level but the standout is their desire to remain true to the original cuts. Some may find them not as modern as the re-issue of their 101 Collection (more on that later in the week), but for denim purists, you’ll be able to pick up the originals – made in Japan and washed in Japan.
