This is an as-new, NOS Mens Lee Riders jean jacket from the mid-late 1970s. It is 100% Sanforized Cotton, unwashed unrinsed, unworn, never used. Inner tags are perfect, reading "H.D. Lee Co. Inc. and the jacket looks like it belongs on the rack in a store, selling as new. It actually came to me folded and pinned (see images). I loved the original condition and all, but removed the pins and hung it in a garment bag to avoid creases.

No smoke smells, no issues. Thick heavy duty work denim.
In my experience, Lee jackets usually ran a bit shorter than Levis from the same era, so this one being a "long" it will fit just right in the torso for most folks. The sleeves are a bit longer, but for reference, in the photos, I am only 5'8", so it's probably a better fit for someone 5'10" - 6'2". The chest is very roomy; I usually take a 40-42" and this feels more like a 46-48.
CHEST: 49"
SHOULDERS: 21.25"
LENGTH w/ COLLAR: 26"
SLEEVES: 26"
I've not come across a vintage denim jacket in better NOS condition, short of having an original hang tag. I'm asking $200.
