Dockers khaki pants

Dockers is an American brand of men's casual pants and apparel, introduced in 1986 by Levi Strauss & Co. The brand became synonymous with business casual attire, particularly khaki pants, and played a significant role in popularizing the 'Casual Friday' trend in the 1990s. In May 2025, Levi Strauss & Co. agreed to sell Dockers to Authentic Brands Group for $311 million, with potential additional payments based on the brand's performance under new ownership. This strategic move allows Levi Strauss to focus on its core brands, including the flagship Levi's line and the Beyond Yoga activewear segment. Authentic Brands Group, headquartered in the United States, is a global brand development and licensing platform that manages a diverse portfolio of brands across various industries, including fashion, sports, and entertainment. The acquisition of Dockers aligns with Authentic's strategy to grow its portfolio through brands with strong heritage, loyal consumers, and global recognition. The transaction is expected to close by the end of July 2025 for U.S. and Canadian operations, with global operations expected to finalize by January 2026. (reuters.com)
