Riders by Lee - Hard-Wearing Denim Built for Australian Life

Lee Rider jeans were originally designed in 1925. Designed for movement and comfort, they quickly gained favour with cowboys and rodeo riders who needed denim that could handle long hours in the saddle without excess bulk. Riders became closely linked to rodeo culture, worn by competitors and stockmen who valued durability and freedom of movement. Introduced in the late 1940s as a slimmer, more wearable alternative to traditional work pants, Rider jeans crossed into popular culture in the 1950's, worn by musicians and film stars, helping shift denim from workwear into everyday life while staying true to their Western roots.
