Founded over 100 years ago by Henry David Lee, the Lee Jeans empire began as a small mercantile company in Kansas. Initially, the company made overalls for workmen, then branched out to making coveralls for union workers, trousers for cowboys, work wear for rail men and eventually fashionable trousers, jackets and accessories for men, women and children around the world. The company’s ethos remains the same, and Lee is a brand that stands for quality craftsmanship as well as individual style to this day.
Lee jeans for women are popular because of their relaxed fit. Classic shapes are emphasised throughout the Lee collection – and nowhere is that more obvious than in the women’s range. Popular Lee jeans for women include slim-fit Navarro Yoke, the mid-rise Nampa, the Natural Fit collection and the One True Fit collection. Lee provides outstanding value for money in their collections, generally the jeans are cheaper than many other leading brands, but the quality is second to none. Special features, such as tummy control panels, also keep Lee jeans popular with women around the world.
Men’s Lee jeans are just as popular with workers today as they were during the last century. For stylish men, Lee offer the Keeler, Knox, Powell, Ripley and the Flint. All of these styles are available in a selection of washes to suit your look. If you’re more interested in durability than style, the traditional Lee jeans are still there in the high street, you just have to look a little harder to find them.
Buying Lee jeans online is relatively easy – though the Lee online shop only ships to the USA, Lee’s European website has a great store finder that includes links to online stores in your area. Because Lee jeans are fairly easy to find, it’s worth popping into the local shop to try a few pairs on to figure out which style best suits you so you can avoid needless returns from your online dealer. Once you’ve chosen a style, find a reputable dealer online with a clearly worded return policy and low shipping prices.© Designer Jeans.org.uk 2006
