Lee was founded in 1889 by Henry David Lee in Salina, Kansas, and is one of the top three denim brands in the United States.
Lee introduced the world's first zipper jeans - the 101Z - in 1926. Lee's jeans were a hit with the gloved workers, who often couldn't easily open the button-down. And because of the preshrunk denim, people think Lee jeans are a more approachable option.
From the launch of the 1st Lee bib to the 13oz '101' cowboy jeans, Lee demonstrates the passion of innovation over 120 years, transforming from a practical-and-durable-workwear maker to a contemporary-and-trendy fashion giant.
