LEE changed the model number of its previous jeans from 101-J to 200 in the early 1970s. This is the LEE200 after the part number change, which was probably made in 1970s. However, it is difficult to say with certainty because there is little information about the age of LEEs from 1970s to 1980s. The fabric is made of right twill and has been one-washed, giving it a soft texture. It probably represents the changing needs of consumers at the time.
It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's a dead stock, but it's softened by the washing process and already has a slightly worn-in look.
A straight that falls straight. It's not that thick.
