Lee Jeans

Lee is an iconic American denim brand with a history dating back to 1889. Originally founded as a workwear company, it revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the union-all and the zipper fly. Today, the brand is a global leader in casual apparel and denim fashion.

While the brand originated in Salina, Kansas, its manufacturing footprint is now global to meet international demand. Products are primarily manufactured across various countries including Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, and Mexico. This diverse supply chain allows the brand to maintain its presence in both the premium and everyday apparel markets.

Ownership of the brand has shifted significantly over the decades. Long held by the VF Corporation, the brand was spun off in 2019 along with Wrangler to form a new independent, publicly traded lifestyle apparel company. This parent organization manages the global operations and strategic direction of the brand from its headquarters in North Carolina, USA.
