Levi's — jeans that conquered time
Once, jeans were considered comfortable clothing intended for hard men's work. However, half a century later, they began to be worn by teachers, doctors, rock stars, presidents, and ordinary men and women. The Levi's brand became famous for its historic jeans, which conquered the whole world.
The brand is known for its quality and durability, as well as modern environmental and ethical approaches. Levi's has about 500 stores in more than 100 countries around the world.

Sailcloth jeans — myth or reality?
There is a legend that in the middle of the 19th century, a certain immigrant, Levi Strauss, arrived in San Francisco on a merchant ship. When he had sold all his goods, he took down the sails and sewed dense jeans out of them. In fact, however, he was not a merchant. He arrived in the city at the height of the Gold Rush and founded his haberdashery company. He discovered that workers wore rather poor-quality clothing that wore out quickly. That was when Strauss came up with the idea of creating clothes that could withstand any physical labor. He went to a tailor and together they created durable overalls, which today we call “blue jeans.”
The first Levi’s jeans were made with rivets. This was necessary so that they would not fall down and working men could wear them with suspenders. By the beginning of the twentieth century, denim overalls were considered the most popular and highest-quality clothing not only for workers, but for all men as well.
By 1919, the audience had expanded, women began wearing jeans, and soon children did too. The company began producing clothing not only for work, but also for leisure.
‘‘LET’S MAKE THINGS BETTER’’ — the Levi's collection with the most eco-friendly design
This is about creating improved clothing from an environmental point of view — WellThread.
Since 1873, Levi's has been creating timeless clothing. So the jeans you wear today will not pile up in landfills. This means that the company recycles old jeans and creates a completely new model from them. In other words, recycled jeans (denim) reduce the number of landfills, help reduce the consumption of water and chemicals, and also reduce carbon dioxide emissions. When your jeans become unusable or you stop liking them, you can dispose of them. And one day they will turn into new Levi's jeans of the same quality.
The new Levi's collection made from cottonized hemp was released just a few years ago. Why cottonized hemp? At one time it was the most popular and profitable material for making clothes, until cannabis began to be banned everywhere. Levi's decided to return to a proven production method, because compared to cotton, cannabis grows faster, uses less water, and does not pollute the soil. And in the end, you get the same Levi's jeans, the production of which no longer pollutes the environment.
A new project to recycle plastic bottles into Levi's outerwear. Recycled polyester requires less energy to produce, which saves resources. Roughly speaking, plastic is processed using a special technology and turned into the finest threads, which are then used to sew jackets, vests, and down jackets. In appearance and to the touch, they are impossible to distinguish from classic Levi's.
Skinny, mom, or culottes — which Levi's jeans are right for you?
The Levi's online store shows not only XS sizes in its collections, on models starting at 175 in height. The company tries to show how the jeans fit on different people, of different builds and nationalities.
This way, gorgeous women with expressive curves can immediately see how certain jeans will fit on their hips and which rise suits them better. And petite girls will be able to see which model best emphasizes the waist and visually enlarges the hips.
In 2020-2021, high-rise jeans became a trend. And if 2020 is mom jeans, bananas, and slouchy, then 2021 is culottes, palazzo, straight jeans, or flares. But skinny jeans are always in style! On the Levi's official website, there is even a separate section dedicated to high-rise jeans.
