LEE 101B (WWII)

This is a pair of Lee's cowboy pants before the Riders transition, and the model number can be seen as 101B. This so-called Great War model was manufactured during the WWII period, with black lacquered laurel buttons on the top button and no rivets on the coin pocket. Also, like the Levi's World War II model, this model is characterized by a blackish color, which is rather stronger than the Levi's WWII model in terms of blackness.

It's fairly thick and straight, tapered slightly towards the hem, but gently. However, because it has been hemmed up, it may have changed slightly from the original silhouette.

The part near the hem that has the most color remaining. The point drop is more noticeable than the vertical drop. The color is very much like the WWII model, with deep black sinking into the blue tones.

Here's a picture of the knee area where the color is fading the most Naturally, as the color fades, the vertical fall becomes more noticeable. The strange thing about the denim from the WWII era is that it still retains its blackness even after the color has faded.
