A collaborative long sleeve T-shirt from XLARGE and legendary American denim brand Lee, released as the “Lee L/S POCKET TEE.”
Original retail price: ¥6,600.
This collaboration brings together two distinct identities: the street-culture roots of XLARGE and the long-established workwear heritage of Lee. Rather than simply placing both logos prominently across the garment, the design blends classic American workwear details with XLARGE’s playful and contemporary streetwear approach.
The body comes in a deep khaki/olive tone, giving the shirt a rugged military and workwear-inspired character. It is an extremely versatile color that pairs naturally with indigo denim, black trousers, cargo pants, beige chinos and other earthy colors.
The front design remains deliberately understated. A classic chest pocket provides the main detail, finished with a small Lee label at the edge. An XLARGE label is also positioned near the hem, allowing both brands to be represented without overwhelming the clean appearance of the shirt.
The back is where the design completely changes character.
Large “HARDLY WORKING” lettering stretches across the upper back. The dark lettering creates subtle contrast against the olive body while its dimensional finish gives the graphic considerably more presence than an ordinary flat print.
From the front, it looks like a clean and rugged Lee-inspired pocket T-shirt. From the back, the bold message introduces the humor and attitude associated with XLARGE. This contrast between classic workwear and playful street culture is what makes the collaboration particularly appealing.
Made from 100% cotton, it works perfectly as a standalone long sleeve tee during transitional seasons and can also be layered underneath denim jackets, work jackets, military outerwear and heavier winter pieces.

For a classic look, pair it with dark indigo Lee jeans or relaxed blue denim and finish with sneakers or work boots. The combination of olive and indigo creates an authentic American workwear feel while allowing the “HARDLY WORKING” back design to provide an unexpected visual accent.
For a stronger XLARGE-inspired streetwear look, combine it with wide black trousers or cargo pants and chunky sneakers. A cap or beanie also works naturally with the relaxed work/street aesthetic.
Rather than feeling like a simple logo collaboration, this piece successfully combines Lee’s workwear heritage with the irreverent street character of XLARGE. An excellent long sleeve T-shirt for fans of XLARGE, Lee, American casual style, streetwear and vintage-inspired workwear.
