Lee Jeans
From LoveToKnow Teens
Lee Jeans makes comfortable, durable and stylish jeans for both casual wear and work wear.
Company History
Producing dungarees and jackets, the Lee Mercantile Company was founded by Henry David Lee in 1889 in Salina, Kansas. In 1913, the denim all-work jumpsuit was created, followed by the first ever “Overall” in 1920. This lay the foundation for the company’s early growth. 1920 also saw the launch of the Buddy Lee doll, a promotional campaign that quickly became a popular play doll. Through the 20’s, Lee introduced many new innovations to manufactured denim, most notably the zipper fly.
Throughout the 30’s and 40’s, Lee continued to build on their brand, becoming the nation’s #1 manufacturer of work clothes. In 1969, Lee consolidated with the VF Corporation. The company continued to expand its [[Category: Teen Fashion | fashion] lines throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, launching Lee National Denim Day in 1996. Lee’s company philosophy is to bring more fits, styles, finishes, and Lee jean choices to the market than ever before.
