LEVI’S: Print the Legend
After the Gold Rush, but at the Right Place and Time
By Jim Kempton
Levi’s 501 jeans, the shared uniform of cowboys, bikers and surfers alike, are iconic. The rugged, blue-denim, five-pocket, ultra-utilitarian workwear pant, with its orange stitching, copper-riveted stress points and metal button fly-front are famous worldwide. The printed leather label on the right rear waistband—depicting two horses being goaded in a futile attempt to tear apart a pair—are as effective branding in the 21st century as they were when Levi Strauss & Company was granted its patent on their design and construction. Levi’s are certainly legendary, but how much of what people think they know is actually fact?
In John Ford’s classic movie, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” there’s a line that sums up some of this romance. “This is the West, sir, "a newspaper reporter explains. “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”
OK, so let’s take a look. Legend number one: Levi’s jeans were the favored work pants of gold rush miners because they were so tough. Fact is, Levi Strauss likely did head West, to San Francisco in 1853, to open up a West Coast version of his family’s New York dry goods business—selling textiles, some clothing, handkerchiefs, etc.—because the Gold Rush has spurred business opportunity in the city. But young Levi himself wasn’t a tailor and didn’t begin making jeans until 1872, by which time the Gold Rush was pretty much over.
Legend number two: Levi’s were the favored work pants of cowboys in the golden age of the cattle drives. Nah, not likely, although they may well have been the favored workwear of the Hollywood movie crews (including directors and wardrobe dept.) who were making westerns in the 1940’s, ‘50s and ‘60s. In fact the real “wild west” was rather short, 1856 to 1886, after which railroads brought cattle to markets and the cowboy era was done and dusted. What’s more, real cowboys were more likely to wear castoff woollen pants from Civil War uniforms, tucked into their boots and covered with leather chaps to save their legs from being shredded by sagebrush, cactus and other thorny bushes.
Legend number three: The term “jeans” is derived from canvas sailcloth originating in the Italian port of Genoa. Nope, Levi’s were never made out of sailcloth. OK, legend three-and-a-half: Jeans were made of denim from the French town of Nimes (so, from Nimes, de Nimes, equals “denim.” No, sorry; yet again a factual corruption. The textile “serge de Nimes” may have been sometimes dyed blue, but it was traditionally made of wool and silk, not cotton twill.
Legend number four: Levi Strauss was a genius clothing designer whose creation has stood the test of 200 years. Well, he was clearly a good businessman, but the real genius of Levis 501s was more likely Jacob Davis, a tailor from Reno, Nevada. In a letter to Strauss, his textile supplier, Davis disclosed the unique way he made pants using stress-point rivets to make them last longer. Davis wanted to patent this new idea, he wrote, but needed a business partner with money to get the idea off the ground. Strauss saw the potential. The patent was granted to Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss & Company on May 20, 1873. And the legendary blue jeans were born.
Fact is, the real history of Levi’s largely went up in smoke in 1906 when the great San Francisco earthquake started a huge fire that burned down Levi’s HQ. All of the company’s archives were destroyed, leaving an almost clean slate for a cultural legend to be re-born.
In his early 1960s book “Modern Surfing Around The World,” John Severson, the founder of Surfer magazine wrote: “The uniform of the surfer is … Levi’s and a white Tee-shirt, preferably with an advertisement on the back.”
When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

https://dantemebs126.lucialpiazzale.com/como-elevar-tu-pyme-alineando-marketing-y-ventas
Si te soy honesto, por mucho tiempo senti que mi pyme estaba estancada. Tenia clientes, si. Facturaba, si. Pero no crecia. Era como si empujara un carro con el freno de mano puesto. Todo cambio cuando hice algo que antes evitaba: empece a pensar como empresario, no como empleado de mi propio negocio.
Lo primero fue salir del “modo bombero”, ese en el que estas apagando incendios todo el dia. Me sente, respire y escribi: ?a donde quiero llevar esta empresa? ?Que metas concretas tengo para este ano?
Despues, trabaje en algo clave: delegar. Durante anos crei que nadie lo haria como yo. Pero aprendi que si no solte algunas tareas, nunca tendria tiempo para pensar en crecer. Contrate a una asistente virtual y libere 10 horas semanales. ?El resultado? Pude enfocarme en estrategia, alianzas y nuevos productos.
Tambien inverti en mi marca. No hablo de gastar miles en diseno, sino en tener una imagen coherente, profesional y clara. El simple hecho de mejorar mi presentacion y presencia en redes sociales duplico el interes de nuevos clientes.
Y por ultimo: me eduque. Podcasts, libros, mentorias. Nada sustituye el aprendizaje constante. Cada nuevo conocimiento me daba una herramienta mas para escalar.
Todo esto, y mas, lo comparto en mi blog. Si quieres elevar tu pyme y salir del piloto automatico, este espacio es para ti. No importa si estas empezando o si llevas anos: siempre se puede subir al siguiente nivel.
No lo aprendi en una universidad. Lo aprendi en la calle. Y funciona.

No te voy a mentir: pensé que mi pyme no sobreviviría este año. Entre la inflación, la caída de ventas y la incertidumbre, cada día era una batalla. Pero descubrí algo que me cambió el juego y quiero compartirlo contigo.
La clave fue dejar de esperar que todo mejore por sí solo. Empecé por revisar mis gastos uno por uno. Me pregunté: “¿Esto realmente aporta valor?” Lo que no sumaba, lo corté. Dolió, sí, pero me dio oxígeno.
Después, aprendí a digitalizar procesos simples, como cobrar por WhatsApp o automatizar respuestas. Parece básico, pero me ahorró horas y mejoró la atención al cliente.
También invertí en formación gratuita online. Hay muchísimo contenido útil (¡y gratuito!) sobre marketing, ventas, liderazgo… Cuando aprendí a vender por redes sociales, mis ingresos cambiaron.
Y ojo, no hice todo solo. Me uní a una red de emprendedores locales. Compartir experiencias me dio ideas frescas y motivación. Sentir que no estás solo hace una gran diferencia.
Por eso abrí este blog: para ayudarte a potenciar tu pyme, incluso en tiempos difíciles. Cada semana subo herramientas, ideas y pasos accionables. No prometo milagros, pero sí información que ya me sirvió a mí.
Si sientes que todo va cuesta arriba, te entiendo. Pero créeme: se puede salir adelante. Te invito a leer los próximos artículos y poner en marcha los cambios uno a uno.
Esto no es teoría, es experiencia real. Y si a mí me funcionó, a ti también puede ayudarte.

Te has preguntado por qué tu página no aparece en los primeros resultados de Google? Yo también pasé por eso. Creé mi web con toda la ilusión del mundo, pero nadie la encontraba. Hasta que entendí que tener una buena página no basta: hay que posicionarla estratégicamente.
Descubrí que el SEO (Search Engine Optimization) es la clave. Empecé por investigar las palabras clave que usa mi público. No basta con poner cualquier cosa: hay que saber qué buscan exactamente y adaptar tu contenido a eso.
Después trabajé el contenido de calidad, original, bien estructurado y útil. Google ama los textos que realmente ayudan a los usuarios. También me aseguré de usar títulos atractivos y etiquetas (H1, H2…) correctamente.
Otro truco que me ayudó mucho fue mejorar la velocidad de carga de mi web. A veces basta con comprimir imágenes o elegir un mejor hosting.
Y no te olvides del SEO off-page: conseguir enlaces de otras páginas hacia la tuya es como ganar puntos de autoridad. Yo contacté blogs del mismo sector y ofrecí colaborar con contenido a cambio de un enlace.
Con paciencia, estrategia y constancia, vi cómo mi página empezó a subir posiciones en Google. Ahora recibo visitas todos los días sin pagar publicidad.
Si estás empezando o no sabes por dónde ir, no te preocupes. Todos arrancamos desde cero. Pero te aseguro que con estos pasos, puedes lograr que tu web sea visible y atraiga tráfico real.
Идеальный букет – спасибо за профессионализм!
