This page is for anyone who lives in Dockers khakis and wants a chino, polo or oxford that fits the same brief. Dockers — the Levi Strauss creation from 1986, sold to Authentic Brands Group in a deal that closed for the US and Canada on July 31, 2025 — sits at the low-to-mid price tier, so the closest matches are Gap, Uniqlo, Lands' End and Bonobos. Spend more and Taylor Stitch, J.Crew, Buck Mason or Polo Ralph Lauren give you better fabric and a sharper cut for the same wardrobe slots.

Common questions

Who owns Dockers now?

Authentic Brands Group. Levi Strauss & Co., which launched Dockers in 1986, sold the brand for an initial $311 million; the US and Canada transaction closed July 31, 2025, with remaining international operations transferring in early 2026.

What brand is closest to Dockers chinos?

Bonobos, for the fit engineering — curved-waistband chinos with a tapered leg and broad waist and inseam options. Gap and Uniqlo are closer on price, Lands' End on the classic-casual catalog feel.

Are there cheaper alternatives to Dockers?

Gap, Uniqlo, Lands' End, Wrangler, Ben Sherman and Dickies all sit in the same low-to-mid tier as Dockers. Dickies keeps most core pieces under $100 and Wrangler jeans generally run $30–$70.

Which alternative is a genuine step up in quality?

Taylor Stitch and Buck Mason. Taylor Stitch uses organic cotton, hemp, wool and recycled fibers and sells via pre-order to limit overproduction; Buck Mason makes much of its range in the United States. Both are mid-tier rather than budget.

What if I only buy Dockers for wrinkle resistance?

Look at Ministry of Supply, which engineers dress shirts, trousers and blazers from technical performance knits and stretch fabrics — Apollo shirts, Kinetic trousers, 3D Print-Knit blazers.
