Why Lee earned a B-
About Lee
The denim brand behind the riveted five-pocket jean that's been a jeans-aisle staple for over a century, these days selling as much through mass retailers as through its own site. Lee's bread and butter is still classic and relaxed-fit denim, though the lineup has expanded into workwear-inspired jackets and its more sustainability-focused Lee Reborn line made from recycled materials.
The holiday return window stretches purchases from early October through New Year's Eve out to the end of January, which is handy if you're buying jeans as gifts. The catch worth knowing: every return costs a flat processing fee of around $8, deducted straight from your refund, so a return isn't quite free even within the 30-day window. Lee Reborn pieces are refund-only too - no exchanges on those.
What they sell
- Classic and relaxed-fit denim jeans
- Denim jackets and workwear-inspired outerwear
