Lee Men's Modern Series Slim Fit Straight Leg Jeans
Lee · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Jeans
Era / Decade
Late 2010s to Early 2020s. The small yellow-on-black logo tag at the center back waistband and modern rivet styling indicate a relatively recent production era.
Material
Likely a blend of 98-99% Cotton and 1-2% Spandex/Elastane (Active Stretch Denim). The sheen and visible knee wear suggest a stretch fabric typical of the 'Modern Series' line.
Condition
Good. There is noticeable fading at the knees and thighs, along with slight color loss along the outer seams. No visible holes or structural damage, but the black dye has significantly laundered out.
Demand Level
Moderate. Basic black jeans are a staple, but because this is a common mass-market brand available at big-box retailers, the resale market is saturated.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 (Low) - $18.00 (Mid) - $24.00 (High)
Estimated Retail Value
$45.00 - $55.00
Comparable Sales
Recent sold listings on eBay for used Lee Modern Series black jeans range from $10 to $20 plus shipping. New with tag (NWT) versions typically reach the $25-$30 range.
Description
These Lee Men's Modern Series Slim Fit Straight Leg Jeans feature a versatile black wash. Designed with a mid-rise waist and a streamlined slim fit through the seat and thighs, they offer a classic straight leg opening. The active stretch denim provides mobility and comfort for all-day wear. Classic 5-pocket styling and zip fly with button closure.
Key Features
Active stretch denim for comfort, versatile 'Black' or 'Clean Black' colorway, modern slim silhouette, well-known reliable brand name.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Lee interior brand tag, branded copper-tone or silver-finished rivets, and the signature 'Lee' logo hit on the waistband. The quality of the stitching and interior care label are consistent with authentic retail Lee products.
Flaws to Note
Significant 'wash wear' fading on the knees and thighs. Fading along the seams and hems. This is common with black denim but reduces the 'dressy' value of the item.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay and Poshmark are the best venues for these. They also perform well on Facebook Marketplace for local pickup to avoid shipping costs that might exceed the item value. Poshmark is excellent for simple, branded basics.
Selling Tips
Take clear photos of the size tag and measure the actual waist and inseam, as black denim often shrinks after many washes. Use keywords like 'Stretch Denim', 'Slim Straight', and 'Office Casual'. Bundle these with another pair of jeans if possible to increase the margin.
