Lee’s workwear positions itself in the corridor of American style where utility turns to culture. This season, chore jackets do the heavy lifting. In canvas, the tobacco shade looks pulled from a box of old railroad portraits. In denim, the seams and pockets recall the mechanic era that LIFE Magazine once photographed.
Lee Workwear
Worn open over a tee or buttoned against the cold, the chore jacket is dependable whether it is in a coffee shop or a hardware store.
The overshirt shares the same space as the chore jacket. It lands somewhere between late sixties ranch wear and the type of layer men keep near the door for years.
Carpenter jeans keep the loose leg and hammer loop that skaters loved in the nineties, only now the wash feels cleaner and the attitude slightly more grown.
Meanwhile, cargo pants borrow their cues from military archives, settling for a charcoal tone that sits easily next to sneakers or boots.
Explored together, Lee’s pieces offer a reminder of why workwear endures. It holds history with a steady hand and meets the present with the type of purpose men trust year after year.
