Lee is one of the oldest and most popular jeans brands in the world. Founded in 1889, it is now one of the most famous global brands of jeans and casual clothing. In 1911, Henry David Lee, seeing that there was a huge need for workwear that no one was yet able to satisfy, created the overall, which was then called "Bill Overall": it was made of 8-ounce denim and had a bib and braces, first fixed and then adjustable.
