Preview of Durango Vintage Festivus Auction Lot 0067: 1930s H.D. Lee Waist Overalls Are you curious about the rarity of a pair of buckleback Lee jeans? If you are an experienced vintage hunter you will know what I am talking about. It’s very rare. It feels like for every 50 pairs of Levi's buckleback jeans you come across, you can only find one pair of Lee buckleback jeans. One of the contributing factors is that the H.D. Lee Company primarily focused on producing uniform garments like bib overalls and coveralls, rather than the popular "Cowboy" line. The lot we are presenting here is a remarkable example, likely a Lot 131 Cowboy Waist Overalls. The presence of a small black label with the word "Sanforized" indicates that it originates from the 1930s, specifically the 1934 model in "The Archives" series (similar to Levi's LVC line) by Lee Japan. Notably, the watch pocket is situated directly above the right front pocket, which is an early feature of the "Cowboy" model. Unfortunately, the leather patch on the left back pocket and the paper patch on the right side of the buckleback have been lost due to extensive wear. #leecowboy #unionmadebylee #leebuckleback #buckleback #1930sdenim #hdlee #1930slee #vintagedenim #bucklebackdenim #lee131 #durangovintagefestivus #briteaton #supervintage #denimseeker
