Vintage 1980s Lee Riders Jeans — 18 Petite — Deadstock NWT — Made in USA (ILGWU)
Beautiful deadstock Lee Riders women’s jeans from the mid-1980s, tagged 18 Petite, in rich dark blue heavyweight rigid denim. These are new with original tags, Made in the USA, and feature the classic high-rise straight-leg silhouette Lee is known for.
Crisp fold lines on the legs are original factory/storage creases and are a normal characteristic of unworn deadstock denim.
Fit & Sizing Note: These are true vintage 1980s jeans with no stretch (100% cotton). Vintage sizing typically runs smaller than modern fits—an 18 Petite from this era often compares more closely to a modern 14–16 Petite depending on body shape. Please rely on measurements for best fit.
