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.

Inspired?
The inspiration for Levi's® Spring 2012 collection was the small California coastal community of Sea Ranch.Ever been there?Beautiful and somewhat isolated, about a hundred miles north of San Francisco, Sea Ranch is a quiet mixture of ocean spray, native flora and only about 1,300 permanent residents. It's a favorite Bay Area escape-to-nature.So ... what did the Levi's® designers do with this inspiration?

Like We Said...
The whole idea behind our Care Tag for Our Planet is to encourage consumers to reduce the environmental impact of caring for their jeans. Our message is wash your clothes less often, wash in cold water, line or air dry, and donate unneeded clothes.A student at the Melbourne School of Design recently did some research on the whole "wash-less" approach. Turns out, it works just fine!Check out what Masters candidate Tulia Jack discovered -- in this video by the University of Melbourne.

Downey Down Under, With Denim
Have you ever had the experience of going to a foreign country and once you hit the streets you suddenly felt absolutely at home? That was my experience on a recent trip to Australia.I've just returned from Down Under. My traveling partners? Four pairs of vintage Levi’s® jeans: the XX, the 501® jean from 1879, also called The World’s Oldest Pair of Jeans; the Nevada, found in a dusty mining town; Lady Levi’s® jeans worn at an Arizona dude ranch in the 1930s; and a fun pair of girl’s striped flares from 1969.
