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).

Lasting Impact for All
As a community organizer for 15 years, I've worked with low-income people to influence public policies that affect their lives. I have also witnessed first-hand what an incredible difference it makes when nonprofit foundations believe in and invest in grassroots organizations and their communities.

Yep, Dockers®
On The Manual blog, Cator Sparks says that he never thought he’d write a glowing review of Dockers®. But he's done just that, one that features an interview with the brand’s Doug Conklyn, head of global design.
Sparks is one of many converts who’ve been brought around by such things as the brand's wide array of colors (khaki doesn’t have to be khaki-colored) and the Alpha collection.
Check out the post over at The Manual.

Running With the Devil
This morning I ran the Devil Dash in Boulder City, Nev., a 5K course featuring mud, barbed wire and other obstacles. I wore a pair of Levi’s® 510s™ to help avoid rope burns, cuts, and scratches on the obstacles.

Tapping Potential for Community Prosperity
Five years ago, Veronica was living in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood and dreamed of owning a restaurant to serve her Mexico City favorites: gorditas, huaraches, and pozole. But without access to mainstream loans, starting and growing a business was virtually impossible.
That’s where Mission Asset Fund (MAF) enters the scene.

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.

We're Proud
Some are calling it one of the last great civil rights issues.
The U.S. Supreme Court today begins hearing arguments on two marriage equality cases, a landmark in a long battle for equal rights.

A Trucker for the Mayor
Our hometown mayor, San Francisco’s Edwin Lee, traveled to Europe this week. Mayor Lee was in both Cork, Ireland, and Paris for a couple of sister-city visits.
It was in Paris that he presented that city’s mayor, Bertrand Delanoe, a Levi’s® Trucker jacket.
The US Embassy in Paris shared the picture above on its Twitter account. That's Mayor Lee third from left and Mayor Delanoe sporting the denim jacket.

Isabel
“I’m thankful that I found Mercado Global and can provide a better life for my family.”
That's what Isabel Chiroy Pixtay said, following a recent, long day at work.
Isabel, pictured above, is the oldest of twelve siblings. She cradled the dream of getting an education, but her parents could not afford to send her to school beyond the sixth grade.

Of Spokes and Threads
Cyclist or not, if you've discovered the Levi's® Commuter collection, you know it's pretty impressive.
The collection is now back for a new season. And it features, among other products, new cargo pants and shorts. You'll also find a variety of colors and washes.
Most importantly, the Commuter still features the fabric performance details you've come to expect -- including water resistance, reflectivity, moisture wicking and just enough stretch to make all your urban commutes a lot more comfortable.
Enough with the words. These pictures speak for themselves.
