Levi Strauss & Co. was an iconic American brand known for manufacturing jeans in the US for over 130 years. However, facing decreasing sales and rising costs, Levi's ended all North American production in 2003 and outsourced manufacturing to cheaper contract factories in Asia and Latin America. This allowed Levi's to reduce costs and focus on product design and marketing but also cut over 2000 jobs in North America. While outsourcing improved Levi's financial position, it damaged its reputation as an American brand and raised ethical issues about job losses in the US.
