Following the success of the SS26 collaboration, Lee and visionary designer Feng Chen Wang reunite for a second season, this time turning their attention to Lee's storied workwear heritage. For FW26, Feng Chen Wang applies her signature deconstruction aesthetic to two iconic Lee silhouettes: the legendary 91B jacket and classic carpenter jeans, reimagined through the brand's heritage fabrics — Jelt denim and hickory stripes.

The collection honors Lee's functional roots while pushing boundaries with avant-garde construction, creating pieces that are as durable as they are daring.

The Fabrics that Built to Last

At the heart of this collaboration are two heritage fabrics that defined generations of American workwear.

Jelt denim, created by Lee in 1931, the exclusive 11.5 oz iconic blue denim is known for its resistance to tearing while remaining flexible and comfortable. Hickory stripe, with its classic blue-and-white pattern, is historically used for railroad workers. Durable and practical, its distinctive pattern helps conceal dust and stains, making it a hallmark of classic American workwear. Both bring texture, durability, and history to the collection.

The Collection: Deconstructed Workwear

Feng Chen Wang applies her conceptual deconstruction to these heritage fabrics and reinterprets two Lee icons, creating pieces that balance utility with avant-garde expression.

The 91B jacket, a 1940s workwear classic with its clean zip-front, waist-length silhouette, angled waist patch pockets, a slanted zippered left chest pocket, durable triple stitching, and adjustable buttons at the waist sides, appears in deconstructed form. The carpenter pants, built with utility at the core, rooted in durable dungaree design with tool pockets and hammer loops, are reimagined with contemporary cuts and unexpected detailing.

Jelt Denim Pieces:

- Two 91B-inspired jackets (men's and women's) in the distinctive blue shades, featuring deconstructed details and Feng Chen Wang's signature touch.

- Men's carpenter pants in Jelt denim with seasonal extra-wide fit.

- Women's extra-wide fit carpenter-inspired jeans in Jelt denim, offering a bold, relaxed silhouette.

Hickory Stripe Pieces:

- Two 91B-inspired jackets (men's and women's) finished with a special enzyme wash, creating a mid-dark shade that fades from the sides toward the center, paired with deconstructed detailing.

- Men's carpenter pants in hickory stripe with seasonal barrel fit, featuring the same enzyme wash to pair with the jacket.

- Women's seasonal slouchy fit carpenter pants in hickory stripe, featuring the same enzyme wash for a relaxed, contemporary silhouette.

Modern Workwear Spirit with NCT JAEMIN

Lee APAC Brand Ambassador NCT JAEMIN fronts the campaign wearing the men's Jelt denim set, a full look that embodies the modern workwear spirit. The Jelt denim 91B jacket sits with structured ease over the matching extra-wide fit carpenter pants, creating a silhouette that is both commanding and effortless. His styling showcases the fashion-forward, youthfulness and bold moves of the collaboration, capturing its street and edgy energy and proving that heritage workwear can feel entirely new.
