Lee Jeans is a major international retailer and manufacturer of denim wear and casual wear. Established in 1889, the company is headquartered in Merriam, Kansas, and is often referred to as the inventor of the jeans jackets. One of its most popular pieces of clothing, the Lee Rider Jacket is based on the company’s classic styles of the 1930s and 1950s. In fact, it's been said that the legendary actor, James Dean, was even a fan of that piece of clothing.
