A Jump Gone Wrong. And Then...
If you know Bear Grylls only through his television adventure shows, you may not know what led to where he is today – an internationally known figure, now part of Dockers® Wear the Pants™ campaign.He tells the story far better than I ever could, but just know that it involves a parachute jump gone wrong.

Care For Our Planet
It’s easy to get caught up in all the talk about environmental sustainability and, then, wonder what you can do to really make a difference.Truth is, you don’t have to buy a hybrid vehicle or put solar panels on your roof. You can start with something simple: changing the way you do your laundry.We’ve been talking about this ever since Levi Strauss & Co. commissioned a scientific life cycle assessment of a pair of Levi’s® 501® jeans and Dockers® Original Khakis.

It's a Pitti
Of the 1,100 exhibitors descending upon Florence earlier this month to show their apparel, it’s a safe bet that only Dockers® brought a bear.In this case, the bear was Bear Grylls. He wasn’t actually at Pitti Uomo in person, but the trade fair provided the perfect opportunity for us to introduce Bear as the face of the current Dockers® global marketing campaign.

Masculine, Yet Understated
Step into the new Dockers® store in Stockholm and that’s the sense you get – masculine, yet understated. Not that different from what you feel when you put on a pair of Dockers® men’s pants, right?The store is located in the PK Huset department store mall in Stockholm’s up-market central district – a key shopping area for style-conscious Swedes and visitors.

Dockers® Steps It Up
If you haven’t taken a look at Dockers® lately, it’s time.The brand just showed off its Spring/Summer 2012 line to fashion editors. We could sing the praises, but we’ll let the editors who attended the New York event do the work for us.Details style editor Eugene Tong: “Dockers® is steppin’ it up. Love the idea of a dress pant that fits like a khaki. The SF khaki is solid and looks like a great men’s staple.”
