A Princely Pair of Pants
This’ll be quick. Just couldn’t help but notice -- and share -- that Prince Harry was wearing Dockers® Alpha Khakis while visiting New Jersey this week. In the picture above, he's seen with the state's governor, Chris Christie.Not to call too much attention to the Prince's bum, but that’s where you’ll find the brand’s orange wing-and-anchor logo.

Denim Beyond Expectations
Sometimes life completely exceeds your expectations. That’s how I feel at the culmination of our first designer-in-residence program with the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).

American Cool
In my book, few things are as cool as an Airstream travel trailer. The smooth, curving sheets of aluminum, riveted together and gliding down the open road to the next big adventure. Maybe at the Grand Canyon. Or a deserted Gulf Coast beach. Or Philadelphia.Philly?Yes, Philadelphia – the City of Brotherly Love. Home of the Liberty Bell. And this weekend, the place where a specially outfitted Airstream will house even more American cool…in the form of Dockers® khakis.

Fashion. Innovation. And You.
It’s not every day that you get to build and staff a laboratory dedicated to innovation. From scratch. For me, it’s a dream come true.What may be interesting to some, is that this innovation lab belongs to Levi Strauss & Co., and not some Bay Area high-tech firm.My name’s Bart Sights, and I’ll be directing the company’s Innovation Lab. For the past three years, I’ve been leading our global product development center in Corlu, Turkey.

Looking Back, Pt. 1
Since we survived the much-talked-about “end of the world” on December 21, it seems only right to look back at the year that was. After all, it could’ve been our final one, right? Today, some highlights from LS&Co. Unzipped during the first half of 2012.In January, we called attention to new Dockers® front man Bear Grylls. His personal story of tragedy and triumph is inspiring, to say the least.

"I Didn't Know How Bad My Style Was"
When he left a previous job, a co-worker gave writer Mickey Rapkin a going-away gift -- some new t-shirts. She said, "you can't wear dirty t-shirts anymore."That was the push -- shove? -- that prompted Mickey to finally pay attention to the way he dressed."I didn't know how bad my style was," he admits.Mickey is a guy who has realized that style matters. Dockers® introduces us to six of them in a series of videos, Men of Style.
