  • Sound like we were shopping in the same places.
    I got a pair of the Japanese Lee 101z repros I wore with the redwings.
    Raw denim was niche in the 90s.
    Especially as my mates were wearing para boots, camo and dreadlocks.

    John Simons is legend.

  • I used to have a little side hustle selling that era of Lee 101s, had a contact up in Fleetwood who got hold of all the seconds from the factory in Ireland... Consequently me and my mates were all decked out in delicious raw Lee 101z and 101j in the late 90s... Good times, all pre-internet... Loved a good hustle BITD...

  • factory in Ireland

    Ah now, you’re challenging my memory. Maybe mine weren’t Japanese.
    Or was it Japanese denim sewn in Ireland?

  • Friend of mine had a similar gig pre internet. Bought up deadstock trainers in the UK and sold them for £££ in Japan.
