'''Levi's''' is a [[brand]] of riveted [[denim]] [[jeans]] manufactured by [[Levi Strauss & Co.]] |
|||
{{R from merge}} |
|||
{{R from short name}} |
|||
==History== |
|||
{{R mentioned in hatnote}} |
|||
Contrary to an advertising campaign suggesting that [[Levi Strauss]] sold his first jeans to [[gold]] [[miner|miners]] 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]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Vietnam]], [[Lesotho]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Colombia]], [[Mexico]] and the [[Philippines]]. |
|||
Today Levi's retail operations are broken up into regional bases: |
|||
*[[North America]] |
|||
** [[Canada]] |
|||
** [[United States]] |
|||
*[[Asia Pacific]] |
|||
** [[India]] |
|||

|||
==Products== |
|||
Levi's product lines include: |
|||
* Red Tab |
|||

|||

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. |
