That awesome commercial
Anybody ever see that Lee Jeans commercial of the kid in the sunglasses and the silver jacket skateboarding on the big satellite dish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumarine (talk • contribs) 16:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lee logo.gif
Image:Lee logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Number of workers
Can the 60,000 workers to produce 5,000 jeans a day really be believed? That would mean it takes 12 workers a day to procude one pair of jeans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.7.82.130 (talk) 22:22, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what the source says, wikipedia needs to be verifiable and this may be different from the truth. Smartse (talk) 11:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

According to this source; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8349425/The-end-of-Chinas-cheap-denim-dream.html, one million workers can produce 260 million jeans in one year, - and in that case- based on (lets just say) 260 working days, - there is produced one pair of jeans pr. worker/day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.209.16.188 (talk) 18:45, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Regional brand image differences
There is zero mention of the vast regional differences in marketing and product offerings by Lee. You only need to take a glance at the first pages of the US & Australian sites to see this. In Australia (and similarly asia-pacific) Lee jeans are generally a much more youth orientated brand with a rock'n'roll image, with slim fit and skinny jeans making up a significant factor of the company's sales. This was incited by the 2004 re-release of the iconic Stovepipe cut - ultra skinny black denim jeans for men, and the Supatube cut for women. Lee was the first major manufacturer to push skinny jeans back into fashion. "Sex-appeal" is a far more prominent in advertising, wheras the USA brand appears to aim for the sensible, reliable, quality, branding that targets an older demographic. check http://www.leejeans.com.au/ and then http://www.lee.com/LEE_STORE_US/en_US/home.html to see the stark difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.179.136.188 (talk) 05:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I've removed the section you added as it sounded like original research to me - content needs to be backed up by a source rather than being based on your own personal knowledge. After some searching, I found that its owned by a different company in Australasia, and this probably accounts for the differences. I've added this to the article, if you can find a source that discusses differences between the US + Aus branding then please add it. Smartse (talk) 11:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Source? It's like chalk and cheese, look at the websites! There is more to the world than america —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.8.242 (talk) 00:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
