LEE Storm Rider Ranch Jacket (1970s)

A jacket by Lee that looks to be from the 1970s. It has a "STORM RIDER" tag, but it has no lining or other thermal protection. It is a strange jacket. The length is reminiscent of the safari jackets of the time, but with a wider body and a narrower waist. The fact that there is no such thing, and the "STORM RIDER" tag on the product indicates that it is a product for pastoralists.

fabric

It's a left twill fabric, and I'm guessing it's the same thickness as the one used for a regular denim jacket. It seems. Therefore, the fabric is thicker than a typical coverall. However, it is doubtful if it works well enough as an outer layer for winter protection. The color is a bit bluish. The vertical drop is not very noticeable.
