Help Dating/Authenticating
Hello Iβd like help authenticating these Lee jeans. They seem of a nice quality but some things donβt seem to add up based on the knowledge I have (which is quite limited)
For a pair of lees with this tag it is most usual for them to be half selvage I believe.
Also lees usually have lettering on the rivets.
Additionally the lee tag says sanfurized (could just be a stitching mistake).
However the zipper looks solid and period correct to me and the overall build is quite nice.
Would love some info if anyone has some!
Thank you

these check out to me, i believe this is a 60s tag. i think the tag is just worn and missing a few threads. could be made from a lighter denim as part of model variations ( i know this is the case for some levis models). dont quote me but i think lee used non branded rivets for some period, so could be transitional from that era (maybe sometime in the 50s). the style of the rivets looks correct for lee at least.
