History:-
The company was formed in 1889 by Henry David Lee as the Lee Mercantile Company at Salina, Kansas producing dungarees and jackets. The growth of Lee was prompted by the introduction of the Union-All work jumpsuit in 1913 and their first overall in 1920. In 1996, the company launched Lee National Denim Day as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2014 the brand was relaunched in Paris via the Citadium Paris store.
