Dungarees are nothing new. Once the pinnacle of chore clothing, the dungaree traces back to the 1890s when Levi Strauss mass-produced the protective workwear.

It was later reworked by Lee Jeans to closely resemble what we may know it as today. The dungaree became extremely popular in America, while its working-class roots gave the impression that the wearer was down to earth.
