    I see the Lee long L logo used on vintage 1950's workwear, and have read a couple of references to the logo being used pre-war.

    The Lee clothing company started as H.D. Lee Mercantile in 1889 and dealt only with food at first.
    This is the original logo

    It appears that they have used the Long L logo on certain lines over the years, but information on that particular logo has been sparse.

    Here's some history from one site, there are a few more if you google "H.D. Lee history"

    I'll take a fly at it and guess 1940's.
