Lee COWBOY 101 1945 Reproduction: Announcing the beginning of the "RIDERS" legend, this is a rare pair.
After the end of World War II, the H.D. Lee COMPANY aimed for new developments to meet the growing demand for denim. The symbolic move was the change of the series name in 1946. It evolved from "COWBOY" to "RIDERS," which is now known worldwide.
This is a very rare model manufactured only for a very short period, from 1944 to 1945, during that transitional period.

The Miracle Born Between "COWBOY" and "RIDERS"
The biggest attraction of this model lies in its transitional details.
The front button proudly bears the "COWBOY" engraving, the proof of the old series, while the flasher (paper label) attached to the product already shows the new series name, "RIDERS."
This is a valuable piece of evidence that conveys the breath of the brand at the very moment it steps into a new era.
The number of existing ones is extremely small, making it a coveted item for vintage denim enthusiasts.

The Origin of "Lee RIDERS": A Pair That Built the Foundation for the Future
This COWBOY 101 1945 reproduction is not just a rare vintage denim.
It is truly a "PROTO MODEL" that is indispensable in telling the history of "Lee RIDERS," which continues to this day. Elements that connect to the later "101" series can be seen everywhere in its design and silhouette.
