Levi’s announced a new design partnership and exclusive menswear collection with Seattle-based outdoors outfitter Filson. The new collection marries the uncompromised craftsmanship, rich history and pioneering spirit shared by the two apparel leaders. The Levi’s Workwear by Filson range spotlights the blue-jean inventor’s iconic workwear origins and silhouettes, while utilizing Filson’s superior manufacturing techniques, signature fabrications and iconic styles.

Continuing the massive “Ready to Work” campaign, this summer Levi’s opened doors of its workshop in San Francisco in Mission District (where one of the first Levi’s factories was built more than a hundred years ago) for consumers to be able to take a fresh look at craftsmanship and produce something great with their own hands. Those, who live too far from the destination point, are invited to the online printshop at www.workshops.levi.com to enter the Bandana Bonanza competition and create their exclusive design of a bandana.

Levi’s is inviting American consumers to watch movies in the open air within the period of August 6—27. The famed jeans maker has teamed up with the Alamo Drafthouse (an American cinema chain) and Gowalla (a social network) to arrange cinematic trips, “Rolling Roadshow,” across the country and give Americans an opportunity to watch iconic movies outdoors. The new initiative comes as a part of the massive “We Are All Workers” campaign, launched earlier this summer.

Levi’s has sponsored this week’s YouTube hit, a simple yet great video called «Guy Walks Across America» to promote its new line of jeans and make a contribution to its portfolio of great commercials. The title of the ad (which doesn’t look like a promotion at all) tells all about the plot—Mike, a young man wearing brand-new jeans from a recently launched collection of Levi’s, goes on a walk trip along the roads of the USA, starting in New York and finishing in San Francisco.
