Looks like my pronunciation of Strauss was a little off throughout the video, sorry if that annoyed anyone. I Just had the realization that I've been saying it wrong all these years, though admittedly it's not a word I use often which is probably why I haven't been corrected until now. Anyone else ever have a moment like this?

I have just sold my bar in Spain... and it was VERY common to see the Levi's Red Logo on a T-Shirt. Men and women would wear it... sometimes, I would see that shirt worn by different people three times a week or more... So it is considered important to America, and it represents America in that way, especially to people in Spain (Sevilla in my case)... Just like Armani represents Italy... It is just that iconic

I do believe Grupo Bimbo IS NOT the largest worldwide, but it is in both US and Mexico the LARGEST COMMERCIAL BAKERY out there. A little known fact (usable for that future video), they can't use the name in Puerto Rico or USVI (the only US jurisdictions to be so) since the local Holsum Bakers franchise owns the name for a line of cookies and mini cakes (even have their own bear as the brand mascot, different from the Mexican brand).

I think another major reason for Levis success is its easily accessible distribution pipeline. No matter what department store, discount outlet, or any other clothing store you go to, Levi's are by far the most prominently displayed in the pants section with the largest selection to choose from. And they have such good fits for practically any body type. And they just go with almost any ensemble you decide to dress for that day. So durable in fit, fashion forward, use/activity, and comfort.

Levi's quality has gone downhill over the past 15 years. The weight of the denim is not what it used to be. The 501 had the fit and durability and was my go-to work jean on the farm. But something changed and they went away from work oriented and more towards fashion. Now they don't last at all and I have had to switch to a better heavier denim company. I miss my old Levis, but you just can't get them anymore.

Great video man! I work for them and am absolutely brand obsessed, you knocked it out of the park! Another fit number fact, the men’s fit numbers don’t stand for anything, they were just assigned at random. But each number in the women’s fits is representing something. The first number is the series 3s are the shaping series, 4 relaxed, and 7s. The second number is the rise. 1 is mid rise, 2 is high rise. The last number is leg opening 0-super skinny 1-skinny 2-Slim 4-straight 5-bootcut. Another couple fun facts, Levi himself never wore a pair of his jeans. The company pulled a “new coke” and decided to replace the button fly with a zipper on their 501s. It was met with outrage, customers writing letters to them pleading them to bring back the buttons, one guy said that “it’s like pissing through the jaws of a shark.” The company listened and reintroduced the buttons. That incident actually lead to the creation of the 505, a jean with a zipper fly cut similarly to the 501.

Commodorefan64 the 511 performance fit, size 20 regular should fit you just fine. Give them a try at a store. They're made with spandex, and stretch, making them some of the most comfortable jeans you can get, they're also a bit loose in the waist. They are also made with a thinner guy's frame in mind. My brother loves those the most, got him 3 pairs, for really cheap as they were on sale.

505,502, and 511 are my favorites from Levi's. I try other brand of jeans, but levis are always the most comfortable for me. I haven't had to throw any pairs of levis away actually, however I have grown out of some of them, but I can probably work myself back into them.

What I read about the origin of the number 501 is that when Levi's first began selling its jeans, they assigned each style a three-digit number with the first digit being anywhere from 1 to 5. This first digit represented the quality of the fabric, with 5 being the best.

Great Video. Levi's mastered brand loyalty by remaining true to their core of providing quality jean's while remaining relevant by adding different cuts and colors. In most department stores the Levis section is highly visible; from the signs to the descriptions of jeans etc. In most department stores Levi's own most of the real estate in the denim section.

The name "denim" derives from French serge de Nîmes, meaning 'serge from Nîmes'. Denim was traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans, although "jean" formerly denoted a different, lighter, cotton fabric. The contemporary use of the word "jeans" comes from the French word ((Gênes)) for Genoa, Italy

I am from Europe (Russian, but I live in Germany now). For me the fact is that I tried different jeans: Wrangler, Lee, Esprit, etc. But the only ones which I found fitting me always, really always - are Levi's 501. I don't know why, but they fit the best. Time to time I try other jeans but no other jeans fit so nicely. So, when my pair of 501s warne out, I buy another one.

Levi's are always in style because I think they represent a basic baseline in terms of style. Levi's is part of Americana in the modern world and it's impossible to imagine a world without Levi's in it. And yes, Levi's is worldwide. In cold war East Germany you could trade a pair of Levi's (likely smuggled in from West Germany,) for a goddamn car. Jon Bon Jovi once told a story of how he traded a pair of Levi's to a Russian soldier for his uniform so he could wear it on stage for a show.

I think one of the reasons they stood the test of time is that they last so if you have others in your closet they are generally the last ones that get worn out. So at some point I started calculating how much I paid per year for Levi’s and those of other brands and the Levi’s 501 while being much more expensive than the others was cheaper to own due to it lasting longer than the others... So at some point I decided to stick to the 501 for day to day use and buy Brax for more dignified occasions :)

The reason Levi's is so popular overseas and always has been is because Levi's started jeans. Levi's jeans is a piece of original Americana, it's not just jeans, it's a pair of Levi's, a representation of freedom and rebellion. I can only think of Coca-Cola with such of prestige. In most of Europe 501s used to be considered the only cool Levi's jeans, and I still believe the 501 is the ultimate jeans, although I like my True Religions a lot, they fit better and considered upscale, but still, they just aren't Levi's.
