Lee REISSUE is a limited reissue collection launched in November 2019 by the American denim brand Lee. It selects early women’s models from the global archives and offers jeans, the Rider Jacket, and other pieces that recreate the original specifications. The collection pays homage to Lee’s 130-year history and to the spirit of women who made men’s workwear their own.

We’ve selected historical pieces from our global archives and painstakingly replicated the first-edition Lee garments ever made for women. This limited, re-release is an homage to Lee’s 130-year history and the industrious spirit of women who claimed men’s workwear for their own.

AS IT WAS THEN. AS IT IS NOW.

  Announced by Lee in 2019, this limited reissue collection selects early women’s products (models first introduced in the 1940s–50s) from its global archive and “faithfully reproduces” them. Whereas Vintage Modern reinterprets the past in a contemporary way, REISSUE is characterized by reproducing products based on the details and construction of the period, serving to provide a direct experience of Lee’s women’s heritage. Alongside 101, it is a derivative line that presents the brand’s historical assets in concentrated form.
