Business career

Levi's sister Fanny and her husband David Stern married in St. Louis, Missouri, while Levi went to live in Louisville, Kentucky, and sold his brothers' products there. Levi became an American citizen in January 1853.

In San Francisco, the family's commercial hub of the California Gold Rush, they decided to open a West Coast branch of their dry goods company. Levi was chosen to represent them, and he took a steamship to San Francisco, where he arrived in early March 1854 and joined his sister's family.

Strauss founded Levi Strauss & Co. and imported fine dry goods from his brothers in New York, including clothing, bedding, combs, purses, and handkerchiefs. When he lived with Fanny's expanding family, he made tents and then jeans. Jacob W. Davis, one of his customers and the designer of riveted denim pants, founded Strauss in 1871, and he began producing blue jeans. In 1873, the two guys invented the new style of work pants.
