Levi's — jeans that have conquered time
Jeans were once considered comfortable clothing designed 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 entire world.
The brand is renowned for its quality and durability, as well as its modern environmental and ethical approaches. Levi's has around 500 stores in more than 100 countries around the world.

Sailcloth jeans — myth or reality?
There is a legend that in the mid-19th century a certain emigrant, Levi Strauss, arrived in San Francisco on a merchant ship. When he had sold all his goods, he took down the sails and sewed sturdy jeans from them. In reality, however, he was not a merchant. He arrived in the city at the height of the Gold Rush season and founded his haberdashery company. He discovered that the workers were wearing low-quality clothing that wore out quickly. Then Strauss had the idea to create clothing that could withstand any physical work. He went to a tailor and together they created durable overalls, which today we call “blue jeans”.
The first Levi’s jeans were produced 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 high-quality clothing not only for workers but also for all men.
By 1919 the audience had expanded: women began wearing jeans, and soon children did too. The company started producing clothing not only for work but also for leisure.
‘‘LET’S MAKE THINGS BETTER’’ — Levi's collection with the most eco-friendly design
We are talking about creating improved clothing from an ecological point of view — WellThread.
Since 1873, Levi's has been creating timeless clothing. So the jeans you wear today won't pile up in landfills. This means the company recycles old jeans and creates an entirely new model from them. In other words, recycled denim reduces the number of garbage dumps, helps lower water and chemical consumption, and cuts carbon dioxide emissions. When your jeans become unusable or you stop liking them, you can recycle them. And someday they will turn into new Levi's jeans of the same quality.
The new Levi's collection made from cotton hemp came out just a few years ago. Why cotton hemp? It was once the most popular and profitable material for sewing clothes, until cannabis started being widely banned. Levi's decided to return to the proven production method because, compared to cotton, cannabis grows faster, consumes less water, and does not pollute the soil. And in the end you get the same Levi's jeans whose production no longer pollutes the environment.
New project recycling 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 to create the smallest threads, from which jackets, vests, and down jackets are then sewn. Visually and to the touch they cannot be distinguished from classic Levi's.
Skinny, mom or culottes — which Levi's jeans are right for you?
The Levi's online store shows in its collections not only XS sizes on models at least 175 cm tall. The company strives to show how jeans fit on different people, of different builds and nationalities.
This way, gorgeous women with expressive shapes can immediately see how certain jeans will sit on their hips and which fit suits them best. And petite girls will be able to see which model best accentuates the waist and visually increases the hips.
In 2020-2021, high-waisted jeans came into trend. And if 2020 is mom, bananas, and slouchy, then 2021 is culottes, palazzo, straight jeans, or flared. Well, skinnies always stay in trend! On Levi's official website, there is even a separate section dedicated to high-waisted jeans.
