Levi's T-shirt

Levi Strauss & Co. is a quintessential American brand, founded in 1853 in San Francisco by Bavarian immigrant Levi Strauss. While the company is world-renowned for inventing the blue jean in 1873, it has grown into a global apparel powerhouse producing a wide range of lifestyle products, including its popular graphic and basic t-shirts.

Historically, Levi's manufactured its products exclusively within the United States. However, starting in the 1980s, the company shifted most of its production overseas to remain competitive. Today, Levi's t-shirts are manufactured in a diverse network of countries including Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Turkey, and Portugal. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Levi Strauss & Co., which is headquartered in San Francisco and is largely controlled by the descendants of the founder's family.
