A 1970’s Version Of The Jacket

This particular Lee Storm Rider jacket is from my archive and dates back to the 1970’s. Its made of a left hand fabric which has a very soft feeling due to all the wear and washes during all these years. The fabric has an amazing worn-out look with different shades of blue. The sleeves shows beautiful honeycombs and both shoulders has some blow-outs.

The necklabel is woven, new verions have printed labels, with Lot 101-LJ – Union made in U.S.A. The pocket label shows the R and MR which refers to the 1970’s. This Storm Rider jacket is a perfect example of the beauty of aged denim.
