LEE RIDERS V109-B-husky (1960s)

 Boys' model of LEE RIDERS. It is difficult to determine the date of manufacture, but from the notation on the tag, it is likely to be from the 1960s. In the 1950's boys' model, UFO rivets were used and some parts were different from the adult model, but in this model, the parts are closer to the adult model. This model had three types of silhouettes, "SLIM", "REGULAR", and "HUSKY" in order of thinness, but I'll introduce the "HUSKY" model here.

It's tapered. This model is considered a "HUSKY" model, so it has a thicker silhouette.

The image when turned over. Even though it's called a double knee, the cloth is applied around the kneecap.
LeeV109-B_flasher

flasher

The flasher is different from the cowboy illustration design on a white background that is often seen. It appears to have been newly designed for boys' use. Right below the illustration, "Available in SLIM - REGULAR - HUSKY" is written.

inner tag

Inner tag attached to the back of the right back of the waist belt." There is also notation of "BLU-FAST DENIM". It is presumed to be made in 1960s because of the notation of "R" and "M.R.".

tag

The tag is attached to the top of the leather patch. There is a "V" in front of the number, but I wonder if it stands for "VAT DYED".

It has the same "LEE" engraved rivets as the adult version. There is some green-blue rusting, but the magnet is attached, so it is probably made of copper-plated iron.

Because of the use of bad-die denim, it's a dark but faded grayish color. The slubby texture is not strong, but there are relatively many neps.
