The company we know today as Lee Jeans, began life as the H.D. Lee Corporation, based out of Kansas. Mr. Henry David Lee launched his business venture back in 1889 as a grocery wholesaler that used the new network of railroads to ship fresh produce across previously impassable distances.
Lee stumbled into workwear after he had trouble sourcing adequate supplies from his Eastern workwear suppliers and began producing overalls for his workers in-house. Overalls became coveralls, coveralls became locomotive jackets—and finally jeans and denim jackets.
The Storm Rider is one of Lee's most iconic designs that began production around the 1950s, and is still made to this day. We can date this one to being made between 1975 -1986 due to the following details: U.S.A made woven label (but no Union tag), Lee label has MR and the trademark R, Blanket lining has horizontal stripes (meaning it is a mix of wool and synthetic, introduced in 1975), no hand warmer pockets (these were added post 1986).
