What to know about Dockers

Dockers built the khaki chino into a business-casual staple after launching under Levi Strauss & Co. in 1986. The line centers on cotton twill chinos, notably Signature Khaki and Ultimate Chino styles with stretch waistbands and wrinkle-resistant finishes, alongside polos, oxford shirts and light outerwear. Levi Strauss sold the brand to Authentic Brands Group for an initial $311 million; the US and Canada transaction closed July 31, 2025, with remaining international operations transferring in early 2026. Product reaches shoppers through department stores, mass retail, wholesale partners and dockers.com.
