Lee Est. 1889

Lee Jeans was founded in 1889 in Kansas, USA, by Henry David Lee. The company started as a grocery wholesaler but soon began manufacturing durable workwear, especially jeans, overalls, and jackets.

During the 20th century, Lee became known for practical innovations in workwear and grew to be one of the largest denim brands in the US. Over time, Lee transitioned from primarily being a workwear brand to becoming part of international denim and fashion culture.

Today, Lee is a classic American denim brand with over 130 years of history, known for durability, fit, and its strong connection to American workwear.
