Dockers: a key element of the men's wardrobe
Dockers is a clothing and footwear brand in khaki style (and now also in other “men’s” styles!) from Levi Strauss & Co. The history of the brand began back in 1853, when Levi Strauss immigrated to the USA from Germany with his mother and two sisters and started his small business selling shoes and clothing. At that time, the gold rush was in full swing in America. New adventurers were arriving at the country’s ports every day. It was there, in the busiest place of all, in the ports, that Strauss sold his pants and boots.

Dockers Product Review
Levi's pants soon came to be called "denim" (after the French city of Nimes, from which the fabric for them was supplied). And the shoes lovingly came to be called "dockers" because they were sold on the docks, and were especially loved by sailors who needed to move across wet boards. Reliable, sturdy, moisture-resistant, and with good grip, this kind of Dockers footwear soon became one of the most popular in the Northwestern US. It was ideal for off-road conditions and generally wet weather.
Levi's, of course, are primarily known for their jeans, denim. That is why in 1986 Dockers was established as a separate brand. Today it is a leader in business casual style for men. Footwear (and more recently, clothing too) that is comfortable to wear around the city, and that you can wear either to the office or to the bank. In 1987, Dockers even introduced a women's line. Now the brand sells shorts, pants, shirts, sweaters, leather wallets, boots, and shoes. Everything bears the same old signature logo, reminiscent of the docks and the sea.
The store sells casual clothing and footwear with an emphasis on strength, reliability, and durability. The brand's items are nearly indestructible. You can wear them for a year or two in just about any conditions. Dockers boots will survive any dirt, and the clothing will not deteriorate or lose its appearance, and over time will definitely become one of the most loved items in your wardrobe.
The brand makes products for both men and women. They are not the cheapest, with prices averaging from $60. But the quality is excellent. Although the brand is not very widespread and it does not have that many footwear and clothing models, in 2016 in the US, 28% of respondents with incomes over $200 000 reported that they owned Dockers products.
Among the advantages of Dockers footwear are:
- the use of natural materials – which means no foot allergies, and no harm to the environment;
- high durability and wear resistance, every detail undergoes thorough quality control;
- comfort – you can walk for many hours in this kind of footwear, and nothing will chafe;
- perfectly suited for extreme conditions: snow, rain, mud, low or high temperatures;
- a neutral, stylish design that has remained in fashion for more than 150 years;
- low prices;
- excellent pairing with Dockers shorts and pants – the models are a combination that fits each other perfectly;
- versatility – with this kind of footwear, you can go to the beach, a restaurant, work, a yacht, or even travel to the mouth of a volcano; dockers are appropriate in any situation.
The brand also differs from all the others in that it has two different websites for clothing and footwear. Sweaters, T-shirts, and most importantly cool pants and shorts are sold on Dockers.com. And shoes, boots, sandals, sneakers, loafers, slip-ons – on DockersShoes.com. You can shop on one site, be a fan of their quality products, and not even suspect that the company has a whole other class of products. Both stores run постоянные discounts (visit the Sale section!). For example, Dockers footwear on the official website now costs 50% less. Dozens of models priced at $45-$55 instead of $100.
In Russia, the brand is also known in narrow circles. It is valued for quality on a par with Timberland. Only the prices, of course, are of a completely different order – the same Dockers footwear can be bought for 6-11 thousand rubles (and that is with "discounts"). That is, about 2-3 times more expensive than on the official website or in the constant sale store 6PM.com. By buying one pair in America, even taking delivery costs into account, you save at least 3-5 thousand rubles.

Dockers clothing is less known here, but in fact you can save even more on it. Top-quality shorts and trousers on 6PM and on the official site with discounts cost $20-$45, while in Russia, for those prices, they sell extremely mediocre items, often with no brand at all.
