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, grounded in values of durability, authenticity, freedom, and individuality.  

Signature details like the understated Lazy S stitch and 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 quality and craftsmanship – a philosophy best captured 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 belief still drives us today. At Lee, we blend heritage craftsmanship with modern design to create denim that moves with the times – collections made to be lived in, loved, and worn your way. Whether through bold collaborations or everyday essentials, we celebrate the spirit of those who wear their values proudly.
