Redirect to:

Levi Strauss & Co.

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a short name: This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a more complete page title, such as a person's full name or the unbroken title of a written work.
- Use this rcat (not {{R from initialism}} nor {{R from abbreviation}}) to tag redirects that are the initials of a person's name.

Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
- The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-==History==
+{{R mentioned in hatnote}}
-Contrary to an advertising campaign suggesting that [[Levi Strauss]] sold his first jeans to [[gold]] [[miner]]s in the [[California Gold Rush]], where he arrived in [[1853]], manufacture of [[denim]] overalls only began in the [[1870s]].
+}}
-Modern [[jeans]] began to appear in the [[1920s]].
-By the [[1990]]s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from overseas. Production facilities in [[Canada]] and the [[United States]] closed and supply of finished products came from places like [[China]], [[Cambodia]], [[Hong Kong]], [[India]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Vietnam]], [[Lesotho]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Colombia]], [[Mexico]] and the [[Philippines]].
-In modern times, Levi’s has become one of the top-10 most litigious companies in the world, aggressively pursuing action against any rival fashion company producing jeans that infringe on the [[trademark]] (US #[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=registration&entry=1139254 1,139,254]) on the Levi's jeans' 133 year old iconic back pocket.<ref>Michael Barbaro and Julie Creswell, [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/29/business/29jeans.html Levi’s Turns to Suing Its Rivals], ''The New York Times'', January 29, 2007.</ref>.
-Today Levi's retail operations are broken up into regional bases throughout the globe.
-==Products==
-Levi's product lines include:
-* [[Red Tab]]
-* [[Sta-Prest]] - discontinued
-* [[Silver Tab]]  (this line started in 1990 and is marketed to a more fashion-forward demographic;  the last five years this line got a make-over to resemble an urbanwear look rather than the traditional Levi's look)
-* [[Dockers]]
-* [[Levi Strauss]]
-* [[Type 1]] - discontinued but still available in [[Asia]]
-* Engineered Jeans - discontinued in America but still available in [[Asia]] and [[Europe]]

-Denim giant Levi Strauss has designed a pair of jeans, called RedWire DLX Jeans, able to control a wearer's Apple iPod music player. The RedWire DLX Jeans will have an iPod remote control and docking station fitted in its pockets, and comes complete with attached headphones. To be launched in August 2006, the jeans will cost approximately $250. Levi Strauss is not the first to produce iPod-compatible clothing, but it is believed to be the first to do so for trousers or jeans. No details of how exactly the owner will be able to wash them have been released.
-In 2000, the "Launderette" advert for Levi's 501s was named the 6th best television commercial of all time, in a poll conducted by ''[[The Sunday Times (UK)|The Sunday Times]]'' and ''Channel 4'', a UK Based Television channel & newspaper.
-==Trivia==
-In early 2006, Levi Strauss & Co. was the high bidder in an [[eBay]] auction for an authentic pair of original Levi's 501 blue jeans, paying around $100,000 for the item (''Economist'', 2006).
-Levi's is currently filing a lawsuit against many Japanese producers of premium [[selvedge]] denim such as Samurai and Iron Heart, claiming that their products too closely resemble original "Capital E" Levi's 501 Dungarees from the 1800s.  Such likenesses are apparent in the styling of the leather back patch and tab on the right rear pocket.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
