View Vintage Lee Riders 201-2046 Jeans 36x32 USA Dark Indigo Cowboy Crease Denim with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Style / Fit: This is the iconic Lee 201 Riders Bootcut / Flare denim pant. Fabric Blend: 65% Cotton, 35% Polyester. During this era, Lee heavily promoted poly-cotton blend stretch fabrics (such as their "Lee Set" or "Lastic Stretch" lines) designed to hold a sharp crease down the center leg and resist wrinkles. ITEM: Vintage Lee Riders 201-2046 Jeans 36x32 (ACTUAL 33X32) USA Dark Indigo Cowboy Crease Denim This is the iconic Lee 201 Riders Bootcut / Flare denim pant. DESCRIPTION: Vintage Lee Riders men’s denim jeans, style 201-2046, tagged size 36 x 32 and Made in USA. Classic dark indigo five-pocket construction with contrasting golden/tan stitching, Lee branded rear pocket tab, riveted front pockets, zip fly, belt loops and distinctive Lee rear pocket stitching. These are an exceptionally clean-looking vintage pair with very little apparent wash or wear fading. The denim retains a deep, rich indigo color and has the crisp appearance of jeans that were worn and laundered relatively few times. A particularly distinctive feature is the prominent permanent cowboy-style crease running down the front and rear legs. The crease is well established and adds exactly the sort of Western/ranch character that buyers of older Lee jeans often look for. Tagged 36” waist, although the actual laid-flat waist measures approximately 33” around, so buyers should rely on the measurements rather than the tagged size.

ERA OF MANUFACTURE: These vintage Lee Riders jeans were manufactured in the late 1970s to early 1980s (specifically around 1981–1982) in the USA. FABRIC & WEAVE TYPE: Fabric: 65% Cotton / 35% Polyester Fabric Type: Denim Weave: Cotton-polyester twill denim Color: Dark Indigo Blue Wash: Dark Wash / Rigid-Looking Dark Indigo Features: Five-pocket, zip fly, belt loops, contrast stitching, permanent cowboy crease Country of Manufacture: USA That polyester content also helps explain why these have held that razor-straight crease like somebody threatened them with bodily harm if they ever relaxed. 😂 DISCLAIMER: Measurements were taken with the garment laid flat and are approximate. Please compare the measurements provided with a similar garment that fits well before purchasing. Vintage tagged sizing can differ substantially from modern sizing. These jeans are tagged 36 x 32 but measure approximately 33” around the waist. Color may vary slightly due to lighting, photography and individual screen settings. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are considered part of the condition description. Vintage Dating Indicators: The specific era of this pair can be narrowed down using the interior tags: * The Batch Code (910811463): The "081" or "81" embedded within this manufacturing number points toward a production date around 1981. * The "72" Sub-Tag: This small extra tag was frequently used by Lee factories in the late 1970s and early 1980s for internal factory routing or inspector identification. * The Care Tag Layout: The printed text layout detailing "Wash Dark & Red Colors Separately" alongside the CA 00492 and RN 34783 numbers is classic late-70s/early-80s Lee work. * The Pocket Tag: The small, woven black fabric tag with orange/red lettering nestled in the corner of the back pocket is the signature branding used directly prior to the mid-80s label updates.
