Nothing
can take the press out of Lee-Prest slacks
Not that it's on his mind right now. And it needn't be. Those Lee-
Prest Leesures can't help but stay crisp and neat. No matter what you
put them through. They have a new permanent press. So the crease stays
in. The wrinkles stay out. Permanently. And that's without ironing. No
touch-ups, either. They're made from Lee s special blend of 50% polyester
and 50% combed cotton. For wash and wear.. .with conviction.
Incidentally, that permanent press is the only change we've made
in Leesures. They still have that lean, honest look... smart, tailored fit.
New Lee-Prest Leesures. Test their permanent press yourself. It isn't
necessary, but it's a great way to spend an evening. From $5.98 to $7.98.
