Seeing Double
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cowboys and the American West were among the most popular subjects for the exciting field of photography. And one of the most popular formats was the stereoview.

Why Work Here?
To hear her tell it, Jamila enjoys her job at Levi Strauss & Co. not only because she likes what she does, but also because she has the opportunity to work with such a great team.
On top of that, her values are aligned with the company's -- particularly when it comes to giving back to the community through volunteering. Jamila is a volunteer mentor to a middle school student, whom she meets with weekly.

Lost Luggage? No Problem!
We love hearing from our consumers, whether they seek help or want to share a story. Will Roman recently contacted us about a trip he took where he went one way ... and his luggage went another. Fortunately for him, he was wearing his Levi's® jeans. Here's his story:

Mike's Levi's®
We get letters.
Working in Consumer Relations, of course, that makes sense. And a recent one made our day.
On Christmas Day 1983, Mike MacDonnell got his first pair of Levi's®. That's him, pictured above, reading the jeans label on that Christmas morning.
Mike recently wrote that his older stepbrother gave him the jeans, even going so far as to let Mike pick them out at the San Jose, Calif., Miller's Outpost before he wrapped them to put under the tree.

Celebrating Courage
“I was dead when I got to WORLD, but it has saved my life,” one woman living with HIV/AIDS said.
She’s part of WORLD, short for Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Disease, an organization that has supported women living with HIV/AIDS in Northern California for the past 20 years.
Organizations like WORLD link women to health and social services that help them cope with the stigma and discrimination associated with the disease, which can have as many harmful consequences as the virus itself.

Jeans to Flip For
Curtis Romeo is a stylist at the Levi’s® Outlet I manage in St. Augustine, Florida. Earlier this week, he left the store to get a bite to eat and head to the martial arts class he teaches – on his motorcycle.
You see where this is heading, right?
On his way to class, another vehicle stopped short in front of him, and that led to Curtis flipping over his bike and sliding across the road. His motorcycle landed on top of him.

My Dirty Little Habit. And Matt Damon!
Today is Thursday, World Water Day. And today, I’m wearing the same jeans I was wearing Monday. And Tuesday. And Wednesday.
And on top of that, I haven’t even washed them.
It’s a dirty little habit.
Fortunately, I’m joined by my Levi Strauss & Co. colleagues around the world. We’re celebrating the World Water Day by trying something a little different.
