Hand-Crafted Surfing
Danny Hess makes his surfboards the old fashioned way: by hand, one-at-a-time, with wood. It’s his passion.
And a lot of the surfers who borrow one for a test ride end up buying one. That helps Danny keep his passion alive.
He tells his story himself much better than I ever could. In this Dockers® video, you’ll learn how Danny took a chance...and now earns his living…doing something he loves.

Khaki (Wearer) With Attitude
Dear Dockers,Thank you for reinvigorating my belief in khakis (or is it chinos?). I’ve been on the prowl for non-jean pants recently, and the pair of “Slim Tapered Khaki – Pleated in Wood Chip” I just purchased are fitting the bill quite nicely. The taper is a playful throwback to my 90’s upbringing, the pleats a nice “(expletive deleted) you” to all my flat front pants. And in general, the finishes (lining, zipper, etc.) are of a quality I didn’t necessarily expect of Dockers, no offense.

Them's the Breaks: Pant Length
Okay guys, how long – as in length – should you wear your pants? It’s a puzzler for many. But you’ve come to the right place.When it comes to pant length, I truly believe the same two rules apply whether we’re talking about jeans, khakis or smarter dress trousers:Rule #1: Pants should never be worn too longRule #2: Pant should never be worn too short.It’s all about the break.

Mixing Coca-Cola and Absolut
No matter where in the world I travel – and I do my share – if I pick up a bottle of Coca-Cola, I know what I’m getting. It’s the same when I spot that familiar bottle of Absolut in a local market. There’s no mystery about what’s inside.I don’t typically mix Coke and Absolut, but in this case I will. These are two brands that are globally known, highly respected, and unfailingly consistent. And they’ve each reached this pinnacle by a relentless focus on the customer.

We Love You, Steven Alan!
Steven Alan’s approach to khaki design? “Eliminating the doofy-ness.”At least, that’s what he told the New York Times.I think he did it.

We're Surrounded. (And It's a Good Thing.)
If there’s anything I like less than moving, I can’t think of it right now. Oh, okay. War. Pestilence. Hunger. Stuff like that. But moving isn’t far behind. Even the obligatory moving cuisine of beer and pizza can’t make the badness go away.We’ve just wrapped up moving day at the home office of Levi Strauss & Co. Many of my colleagues and I had been holed up in temporary quarters – just across the way here at Levi’s Plaza – while workers fully renovated the main building.
