I'm really not sure. There's a guy here says that Lees are sanforized, but I looked at one of the tags and it says that it would shrink down a size. These are the 101s with the painted tags, btw. It has a zipper fly, if that's any help.

Would've put this under the other SF, but, well, y'all know about that...

I have the 101b with the hair on hide patch, and the paper tag said it's sanforized and will only shrink 1-3% but it ended up shrinking an inch on the waist after a cold wash.

Thanks.

This is the X or Z one. It's a black patch with white and maybe a little red painted on it. Can't really remember. Looked good, the back pockets were longer and pointier than most Lees.
