Levi's Skate pants and more at skatedeluxe
Levi’s success began over a century ago when its founder Levi Strauss emigrated from Germany to America to establish one of the most famous brands for work pants shortly afterwards. Since then, the brand was more or less unstoppable. Nowadays, the jeans and pants from Levi’s are undoubtedly some of the most popular in the world.
The Levi’s Skate Collection - “Strong Made Stronger”
While skateboarding has seen many styles and trends over the years, there’s been a constant demand for strong and durable pants. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Levi’s jeans are fixed parts of many skaters’ wardrobes.
The company continues this tradition with the Levi’s Skateboarding Collection, providing jeans, pants and apparel that are tailored to the needs of modern skateboarding. Due to the perfect combination of the selected materials, the strength and flexibility of Levi’s skate pants are hard to surpass. A true pair of Levi’s jeans - just a bit better.
Almost indestructible - the Levi’s Skateboarding collection’s materials
To produce that durable material, Levi’s dug deep into their bag of tricks. The classic proportion of cotton in every pair of jeans by Levi’s Skateboarding has been enhanced with Cordura fibres.
Cordura is a very tough nylon fabric, which is also used in the production of protective clothing for motorcycling. Additionally, Lycra T-400 stretch fibres ensure an ideal fit and maximum flexibility. This makes all Levi’s skate pants perfect companions for every session.
"With strength and ease, they always please." - the Levi's Skateboarding motto
Levi’s Skate Baggy, Work Chino or 501 - our fit guide
Naturally, since the establishment of the iconic Levi’s 501 style, a lot has changed. Next to the classic straight fit, many more fits have been developed. With all the new styles, it’s easy to lose track of things. The essential difference is how loose the pants are cut. But with a little bit of know-how, you’ll find your Levi’s Skate pants with ease.
Relaxed fit means that the pants are cut loose and comfortable while straight fit jeans are cut straight from hip to ankle - easy, right? Pants with a regular fit are cut similarly to straight-fit trousers but have a little extra room in the thigh. Logically, slim fits are slimmer than straight fit jeans. A special case is with tapered fits that become narrower from the knee down to the ankle.
If you're looking for Levi's retro styles, you're sure to find them at Levi's Silvertabs.
