BY THE 20'S BACK POCKETS RIVETS WERE REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM COWBOYS THAT THE METAL RIVETS SCRATCHED THEIR LEATHER SADDLES. REPLACED BY "X" BARTACK STITCHING.

IN 1944, HAIR-ON-HIDE LABEL WAS REPLACED BY THE "TWITCH LABEL", SMOOTH LEATHER. UNTIL 1946, EACH PATCH WAS BRANDED BY HAND.

IN 1941, THE LEE 101 PANTS BECAME SLIMMER, AFTER THE REQUEST OF COWBOYS.

MAYBE ONE DAY, A COLLABORATION BETWEEN LEE AND NAKED AND FAMOUS TO PRODUCE  A RANGE OF COWBOY SELVEDGE DENIM (WEIRD GUY FIT), JUST FOR FUN OR HISTORY.
