Denim is our spirit. Heritage is our story.

Founded in 1889 in Kansas, Lee has been a pioneering force in global denim for over a century, built on the values of durability, authenticity, freedom and individuality.

Signature elements like the subtle Lazy S stitch and the iconic Hair-on-Hide leather patch have become hallmarks of the brand. Evolving from practical workwear to a global style icon, Lee remains committed to craftsmanship — a belief expressed by founder Henry David Lee:

“We prefer to sell one garment of highest quality to one hundred of inferior grade. It means better business and greater satisfaction for us, for you and for the customer.”

That philosophy still guides us today. At Lee, we blend heritage craftsmanship with modern design to create denim made to be lived in, loved, and worn your way. Through bold collaborations and everyday essentials, we celebrate people who express their values with confidence.
