I flew off the back of the bike and slid for about 200 yards. The fall gave me a concussion, a severely broken hand, bruised ribs and some scrapes.

Who knew?When Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis decided to use rivets to hold together the work pants they made for hard-working Western pioneers, they invented the first blue jean. Little did they know that the Levi’s® 501® jean would become an American icon, loved by generation after generation.And it’s safe to say, no other product has been worn, loved or re-imagined quite like Levi’s® 501® jeans. They are the resilient and defining wardrobe staple of cultural leaders from presidents to musicians to movie stars.

When I was barely a teenager, I started working on the ranches and in the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.I learned to shoe horses, break horses, cut and stack hay, and plant and harvest oat fields.

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.

Liberty of London is known for, among other things, its floral prints. Levi’s® is known for inventing -- and, then, innovating -- the blue jean. Put the two together and you have a collection that Glamour says could "rock your world."Not bad, eh?

As a Levi’s® merchandise coordinator, it’s not often I get to help dress a wedding party, but that’s just what happened to me recently.I was working at Macy’s Oak Court store in Memphis, Tenn., when groom Nick Seccombe and three of his groomsmen approached, looking for wedding wear. They weren’t passing through the Levi’s® section on their way to buy or rent tuxedos. Nick knew exactly what he wanted.
