1970s Lee 200Z and Copper King 99Z comparison (final)
Over the last several posts I've shown how these two pairs of jeans are nearly identical in the way they are constructed. Yet, they look distinctively different. The main factor that makes them look so different is the shape of the back pockets and their decorative stitching design, which is of course why brands are so protective of their back pocket design.
After Lee acquired Can't Bust 'Em in 1946, and with that the Copper King brand, they gradually adjusted the Copper King construction to match that of Lee, in order to make them more efficient to produce, while cleverly maintaining those aspects that define the Copper King identity.
