The apparel brand Lee and the art supply company Crayola have initiated a collaborative limited-edition clothing line that integrates eight discontinued crayon shades into a range of workwear-inspired garments. This collection features overalls, chore jackets, carpenter pants, hoodies, and t-shirts that utilize colors such as Magic Mint, Dandelion, and Raw Umber. The nuances were applied through overdyeing techniques on Lee’s signature indigo railroad stripe patterns and solid ecru denim.
Aside from the special color palette, the crayon-inspired workwear-inspired garments boast co-branded leather patches, vibrantly colored rivets, and functional details like hammer loops and specialized pockets, including one intended to hold crayons.
The partnership is framed as a celebration of both brands’ American heritage and a fusion of nostalgic creativity with utilitarian fashion.
