Even though it seems like heavyweight denim is pretty popular right now, never crossed my mind for me to buy one of those more than 18oz denim. Hence the beautiful fades, we live in Indonesia where the weather is.. you know, hot. It's a reason why sometimes a comfortable chino or trouser or maybe shorts is a good alternatives.
The jeans were available for Pre-order at Rogue Territory, but too bad that the pre-order has closed. This pair is Ideal for the summer heat but still wearable by day and night.
"Lee Originals are not about setting new trend, they are just rediscovering tradition and the true Lee heritage from a time where jeans weren't a fashion item."
Nick (707)'s Presentation about the Lee Vintage Collection

Yep, On June 22nd 2011, Lee with 707 Kemang held the launching event of Lee Originals. This Lee Originals collection prove that Indonesia's market is growing quite good this year.
Founded by Henry David Lee in 1889, Lee Jeans (also known as H.D. Lee) is known as one of the three pioneers in the Denim world, alongside with the Founding Father, Levi's, and also with Wrangler. Just like how Levi's is looking back to their vintage archives and then developed the Levi's Vintage Collection, and how Wrangler develops the Wrangler Blue Bells collection, Lee is also known with their beautiful "back to the roots" line, the Lee Originals.
Hosted by Ade Habibie and Max Suriaganda, 707 brings the very limited Lee 101 Vintage Collection. The 101 collection is the origin of Lee's premium denim. It is great to see the 101Z, 101B, 101 Logger, the 1930s, 1934s, etc has entered Indonesian Market, knowing how superb Lee Vintage materials quality is.
With Lee Originals now available in Jakarta, i believe it is possible that Wrangler Blue Bells and Levi's Vintage Collection will also come to Indonesia. The collection of Lee Vintage is available exclusively at 707 Jakarta and their sister store ; Standard Denim Supply Co. (The Goods Dept).
Scott Morisson, the father of Earnest Sewn and Paper Denim & Cloth brand, has come up with his latest love child, the 3x1. Interesting thing, the 3x1 name itself derived from Denim's standard weaving construction, the 3x1 Right Hand Twill material, and it also represents Morisson's 3rd concept of denim brand after Paper Denim and Earnest Sewn which became quite famous in 2004-2006 era and known as the contender of Ksubi back then. 
“People love to learn how things are made, at least I always have, and there’s something magical about seeing the process itself. Perhaps it’s a sign of the times, but the thought that seems most relevant to me today is one of transparency, value, and uniqueness.” To facilitate his unique vision, 3x1 incorporates each of the processes of design, patternmaking and sewing quite literally into their modern gallery/retail/work space and the result is like nothing you’ve ever seen. “It’s a bit like looking into, and working in, Santa’s workshop” says Morrison.

Previously we have seen the 025-N cut from Folta&Co.. Recently added to their blog, the new 026-68 Cut which is inspired by the 60s. the "-68" on the cut name came from the amazing denim material used on the jeans, the COne Mills White Oak 1968 Fabric. Cone Mills is known for their amazing Denim and been used by many Denim Brands such as Ande Whall and so much more.
The jeans look simple but actually the details are amazing and still stick to the classic. Straight leg cut with High rise, White Oak Label on the inside, Folta patch on the waistband, hidden rivets, and, the leg opening is hemmed using the legendary Union Special 43200 machine. Beautiful.
Recently offered, the detailed look of Carhartt's new Heritage line for Spring / Summer 2011 Collection. Overall, this repros of their old products are amazing.
