Not what I was hoping for. The last pair of Lee Riders I bought were the real deal. These are made in Mexico, for the VF corporation, who owns the Lee brand name. They are a thinner denim than the Lee Riders of old, and they have a tea-stain that was not part of the color in the item description. The price is fair, I guess, in this day of eighty dollar jeans and khakis, and the fit is accurate.  As they are only jeans, I won't take the trouble to return them. I will be more careful in the future, and buy my jeans in the store, just so there are no surprises. But, to be sure, these are not your fathers' Lee Riders.

Follow up, after a year:

These jeans are not available for a reason. Mine died young. I purposely bought two pairs, to rotate so I wouldn't wear them out too quickly. After one year of use, maybe 30 wearings each, the belt loops have pulled out, and holes are worn through areas of low impact. The knees and seat are still intact, but there are holes where you wouldn't expect holes. Next jeans will be something else, even if these come back to Amazon.
