Lee Reissues Ladies Rigid Rider Jeans
Ive made a habit of outing myself on these pages, and because consistency is key and also because personal branding needs to stay strong in 2020, Ill keep it rolling I dont wear rigid denim. I just dont. I own a rinsed pair from a nice brand because I thought I would wear them, but I rarely do.
I dont know why this isI enjoy blue to a questionable degreebut it just is. That being said, a self-described lunatic disliking a less-comfortable alternative to a popular thing isnt notable here. What is of note is that I, a man, have the option of disliking so many things because those things actually exist: I can get stretch denim, washed denim, science denim, rigid denim, whatever.
Varietals cut for women, however, are decidedly lacking.
Thankfully set out to rectify the problem, at least in the Rigid category, with the Re-Issue Rigid Ladies Lee Riders. Meticulously modeled after the first pair to hit the market in 1947, these jeans are nearly identical to mens with a few exceptions.
Those exceptions? A small dart in the yoke for a more fitted waist, a fuller seat and hips. So to be clear, these arent borrowed from the boys, theyre borrowed from the archives.
Elsewhere, theyre made with a 9oz. 100% cotton selvedge denim and they feature a button fly, two patch pockets at the back, branded copper rivets, the Lazy S compound stitching, a generous rise and a straight leg.
Details Of The Vintage Lee Cowboy Jeans
This pair of Lee Cowboy jeans is very rare as it shows some interesting details. Details which I havent seen before on Lee Cowboys. Its also different than my other original pair of Lee Cowboy jeans, which you can see here in previous article.
The top button of this pair shows Lee Cowboy, which you can hardly see because theres a lot of oxidation on it. The red/black/gold Union Made waistband label, which is centered, is totally washed out. If you take a close look you will see that the ees arent slanted like they used to be at most Lee Cowboy jeans. It also hasnt a crotch rivet like others. On the back, you will see some darts which refers to a typical womens jeans style, so they would shaped better around their hips. Also, the combination of right-hand fabric, instead of the typical Lee left-hand fabric, in combination with the half selvedge, also known as one side or single selvedge, and in combination with the shield pockets is an one of a kind. All these features can refer to the fact that this is an early example of a pair of womens Rider jeans.

There are plenty of womens jeans cuts available from Lee. These include womens Lee bootcut jeans, which feature a straight fit through the seat and thigh with a slight flare at the leg opening, which in turn balances your proportions and lengthens the look of your legs. Another jeans style is womens Lee skinny jeans, which have a contoured, curve-hugging fit through the seat, thigh and leg opening, and womens Lee straight-leg jeans, which are cut from hip to hem to give you an easy, flattering fit. Great on all body types, the classic straight-leg design lengthens your silhouette.

High-rise jeans sit at your natural waistline, which is typically at your belly button or just above it. This can provide a look that is flattering to your waist and is very much on-trend.

This vintage pair ofLee Jeans is part of my personal denim archive. Its an original Lee Cowboys Jeans, also known als 101 jeans, which is produced in the mid 1940s or late 1940s. The first Lee Cowboys Jeans were introduced back in 1924 and was designed with the so called U-shape saddle crotch and button fly. It was designed with the specific needs of cowboys and rodeo riders, as the cowboy life became the biggest promoter for jeanswear in that time.
