Have you ever wondered where Americans and the world would be without the invention of blue jeans? February 26th is Levi Strauss Day, and we have him to thank for the initial design of our comfy and stylish obsession with jeans.
History tells us fun and interesting facts about Levi Strauss, his business partner, and his family. You can read the story and about the business here: http://www.levistrauss.com/our-story/
Most of us have our favorite pair of jeans, the ones that fit like a glove and just feel good. I enjoy what others have stated about jeans.
