Kris Van Assche’s fascination with denim continues in his upcoming collection with Lee for Spring/Summer 2013. Sharp angled cuts highlight this season’s range for a look that is both masculine and streamlined. There’s more emphasis on tailored looks that are more refined, making the denim more about stylish ensembles rather than being workwear inspired. Look out for the collection to come around January 2013.
For some, the weight of their denim is everything. If numbers matter when it comes to your jeans then Lee 101 has something for you. A small selection of goods made from their 230z denim “premium quality narrow loom selvage fabric” milled in Japan. Having seen their 101z jeans in this weight close-up I can tell you these mean business. Most definitely a winter months fabric, these thick, heavy jeans have a smooth look to the weave, a tight denim with a slight sheen and enough rigidity to head off down the shops on their own. The fabric is also available in a tote, holdall and backpack all with leather trim. Take a look.
