Acid wash with a paper trail — this Lee Riders pair carries the United Garment Workers of America union seal stamped right on the inseam flasher, the kind of mark that dates a garment and tells you who built it. High-waisted, tapered, the marbled blue-and-white snow-wash bright and even. A clean, well-kept piece of 80s American denim.
The Story
The inseam flasher carries the United Garment Workers of America union stamp — a verifiable mark of domestic union labor, here paired with a Made in USA care tag (RN 34763, CA 00492). Brass LEE RIDERS button, leather waist patch: mid-to-late 1980s Lee, made by hands that signed their work.
