Our style may be as fresh as tomorrow, but we go way back — to 1853.
Since its introduction in 1986, the Dockers® brand has been perfecting khakis — and the essential goods to go with them — for men and women all over the world.But the Dockers® brand is proud to be part of Levi Strauss & Co., a business with a history that goes back even farther to Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis creating the first blue jean in 1853. Throughout our long history we’ve inspired change in the marketplace, the workplace and the world. Levi Strauss & Co. is dedicated to making authentic products in a way that also gives back to the community and supports the people who produce our clothes.
Our Values
Empathy
Walking in Other People’s ShoesEmpathy begins with paying close attention to the world around us. We listen and respond to the needs of our customers, employees and other stakeholders.Integrity
Doing the Right ThingIntegrity means doing right by our employees, brands, company and society as a whole. Ethical conduct and social responsibility characterize our way of doing business.Originality
Being Authentic and InnovativeThe pioneering spirit that started in 1873 with the very first pair of blue jeans still permeates all aspects of our business. Through innovative products and practices, we break the mold.Courage
Standing Up for What We BelieveIt takes courage to be great. Courage is the willingness to tell the truth and to challenge hierarchy, accepted practice and conventional wisdom. It means standing by our convictions and acting on our beliefs.
Social Responsibility
We take a lot of pride in our products - and how we make them.
Our company is committed to building sustainability into every aspect of how we operate.
That’s why Levi Strauss & Co. commissioned a lifecycle study of a pair of Dockers Original Khakis to study the full environmental impact of our pants.
What did we learn? Some of the biggest impacts occur in two places we don’t control – the cotton fields and your hands after they leave our shelves. So we’re working to promote sustainably grown Better Cotton and sharing tips to help you change your laundry habits: wash less, wash in cold, line dry when you can, and donate unused clothing so it can be used again. We’re also partnering with our factories to use less energy and water in the production process, and reducing the environmental impacts of shipping our clothes.
The people who make your clothes
In 1991, Levi Strauss & Co. published our Terms of Engagement, protecting the rights of the workers who make your clothes. This groundbreaking document also ensures safe, healthy and human working conditions. We’ve long been an industry leader in worker rights and continue our efforts to improve apparel workers’ lives, both in and out of the factory.Giving back in our communities
In 1854, a year after starting his company, founder Levi Strauss donated to a local orphanage. In that spirit, our employees have been giving back to the communities where we operate for more than 150 years. Their involvement strengthens communities from San Francisco to Singapore, and their volunteer efforts help local organizations. We encourage employees to support charitable organizations with their time, talent and money by offering them paid time off to volunteer.
Social Responsibility is deeply embedded into our products, our culture and our business
The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie
knot that projects confidence. It would therefore be your knot of choice
for presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc. It is
best suited for spread collar shirts and it's actually quite easy to do.
While just about everyone can use this tie knot to tie
his tie, it looks especially well on men with longer necks as its wide
form shortens the perceived height of the neck a little bit.
To tie the Windsor Knot, select a necktie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps below:
 |
1) Start with the wide end ("W") of your necktie on the right, extending about 12 inches below the narrow end ("N") on the left.
|
 |
2) Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.
|
 |
3) Bring the wide end up through the loop between the collar and your tie.
|
 |
4) Then bring the wide end back down.
|
 |
5) Pull the
wide end underneath the narrow end and to the right, back through the
loop and to the right again so that the wide end is inside out.
|
 |
6) Bring the wide end across the front from right to left.
|
 |
7) Then pull the wide end up through the loop again.
|
 |
8) Bring the wide end down through the knot in front.
|
 |
9) And -- using both hands -- tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.
|
Congratulations, you did it! You see, it is not rocket
science after all. Simply keep practicing the Windsor Knot a few more
times until you can tie this necktie knot within less than two minutes.
The Pratt Knot -- also known as the Shelby Knot -- is
tidy and fairly wide, yet not as wide as the Windsor Knot. It is well
suited for any dress shirt and somewhat wider neckties made from light
to medium fabrics.
To tie the Pratt Knot, select a necktie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps below:
 |
1) Start with
the necktie inside out, with the wide end ("W") on the right, extending
about 12 inches below the narrow end ("N") on the left.
|
 |
2) Then cross the wide end under the narrow end.
|
 |
3) Take the wide end over and under the narrow end.
|
 |
4) Pull the loop down and tighten.
|
 |
5) Then, take the wide end over to the right.
|
 |
6) Pull the wide end up, behind the loop.
|
 |
7) And finally, bring the wide end through the knot and tighten gently.
|
Awesome, you did it! Always remember that with any
necktie knot -- such as the Pratt Knot -- a little practice is all it
takes to become a real expert at tying your tie in no time.
The Four in Hand Knot makes for a narrow, more discreet
and slightly asymmetrical tie knot. It is best suited for a standard
button-down dress shirt and works best with wide neckties made from
heavy fabrics.
While this tie knot can be worn by anyone, it looks
especially well on men with shorter necks as the knot's rather narrow
and elongated form stretches the perceived height of the neck a tiny
bit.
To tie the Four in Hand Knot, select a necktie of your
choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps
below:
 |
1) Start with the wide end ("W") of your necktie on the right, extending about 12 inches below the narrow end ("N") on the left.
|
 |
2) Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.
|
 |
3) Turn the wide end back underneath the narrow end.
|
 |
4) Continue by bringing the wide end back over in front of the narrow end again.
|
 |
5) Then, pull the wide end up and through the loop around your neck.
|
 |
6) Hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and bring the wide end down through the front loop.
|
 |
7) At last, remove your finger and tighten the knot carefully to the collar by holding the narrow end and sliding the knot up.
|
That's it! That is all there is to the Four in Hand
Knot. You will quickly learn to tie this necktie knot in less and less
time every time you practice it. Just keep going, my friend!
