Dockers is a brand of
Levi Strauss & Co.
Levi Strauss & Co., famous for
denim, introduced the Dockers brand in 1986 by which
khakis would become the new alternative to dress pants and jeans for American men. "Nice Pants" was their introductory tag line. The Dockers-style pants, khakis, came into the workplace with the
business casual revolution. One year later, Dockers introduced a women's line.
In 2002, Dockers khakis were found in the wardrobes of 8 out of 10 American men, such popularity causing the Dockers brand to be, at times, synonymous with
khakis. As a result, Dockers has recently adopted the "Dockers San Francisco" global identity and marketing campaign in an effort to evolve beyond the success of its khakis into into a full lifestyle resource, providing head-to-toe apparel for women, men, boys, products for the home and luggage. Under the current "Dress To Live" campaign, Dockers features four clothing specialties: weekend, work, dress, and golf.
Slates were a similar line of slacks that Levi introduced many years after Dockers.
As of November 2007, Dockers currently operates eleven retail stores in the
United States:
With many others in
Latin America and
Europe.
