Music to Your Ears
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to head to San Francisco, this may be music to your ears.The America’s Cup and the Dockers® brand are partnering to produce the Sounds of San Francisco – a series of free concerts at the America’s Cup Pavilion.We’re talking San Francisco emerging artists here. And given the Dockers® brand’s heritage as a San Francisco brand, it makes sense for the Dockers® team to support these bands and bring them to the pavilion stage for all to enjoy.And did I mention the concerts are free?These are the acts that have been booked:

Lean Toward Dockers®
You know what it’s like to see a picture of yourself from, say, 10 or 15 years ago and think, “What in the world was I wearing – and why?”Never mind the hair style.Michael Williams takes a smarter approach to what he wears. In fact, the founder of the website, A Continuous Lean, says, “I actually dress for the idea that, in 20 years, if I look at a picture of myself, I’ll say, 'all right, I look relevant, still, today.'”

A Princely Pair of Pants
This’ll be quick. Just couldn’t help but notice -- and share -- that Prince Harry was wearing Dockers® Alpha Khakis while visiting New Jersey this week. In the picture above, he's seen with the state's governor, Chris Christie.Not to call too much attention to the Prince's bum, but that’s where you’ll find the brand’s orange wing-and-anchor logo.

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).

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.

Fashion. Innovation. And You.
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.

Looking Back, Pt. 2
As we speed toward 2013, it’s hard not to glance at the rearview mirror to see what we’re leaving behind – in our personal lives, professionally and in the world around us.In this post, we take a quick look back at some highlights from Levi Strauss & Co., as captured in the second half of 2012 on LS&Co. Unzipped. (We looked at the first half in our previous post.)
