Summary
- Schott and Lee have teamed up for a 2026 Spring/Summer capsule focused on late-1930s workwear
- The release features a 101J Cowboy Jacket and 101 Cowboy Pants crafted from Japanese black denim
- The collaborative two-piece set officially launches on March 13
Building on the momentum of their previous “101 WWII Model” collaboration, Schott and Lee have officially unveiled the 2026 Spring/Summer 101J Cowboy Black Denim Jacket and Pants. This latest team-up digs even deeper into Lee’s archives, specifically targeting the late-1930s era of the iconic Cowboy series. By reimagining the 1925-born 101 Cowboy Pants and the 1934-introduced Cowboy Jacket, the duo highlights the foundational silhouettes that paved the way for the brand’s legendary 101 Riders line.
Crafted with meticulous attention to vintage specifications, the matching setup is constructed from 13oz right-hand twill black denim produced entirely in Japan. Both the jacket and pants feature historical details synonymous with the late 1930s, including authentic buttons, a traditional cinch back, and the era’s signature white, red, and blue tricolor tag.
To complement the stealthy aesthetic, the hair-on-hide label — originally adopted by Lee in 1937 — has been updated in an all-black finish. This thoughtful design choice successfully bridges the gap between preserving heritage craftsmanship and offering a cohesive, modern look suited for contemporary wardrobes.
The Schott x Lee 2026 SS 101J Cowboy Black Denim Jacket and Pants drop March 13.
