リーヴァイ・ストラウスはドイツのフランケン地方ブッテンハイムで、アシュケナージ系ユダヤ人の一家に生まれた。 父親は織物類の行商人だったが、腫瘍のため死去。1847年に、母レベッカと二人の姉と共に渡米した。
リーヴァイはサンフランシスコで姉の夫スターンと「リーバイ・ストラウス＆カンパニー」という織物類の卸を始める。当時のサンフランシスコはゴールドラッシュ最盛期で、鉱山労働者の衣服や縫製の多くの需要があった。
1872年、ストラウスは洋服店を営むジェイコブ・デイヴィスから手紙を受け取った。手紙にはデイヴィスが客のために面白い方法でズボンを作ったことが書かれていた。デイヴィスには特許を取得するための資金がなかったため、ストラウスが資金を提供し、協同で特許を申請した。
1873年5月20日、ストラウスとデイヴィスはデニムの作業ズボンのポケットを銅製の鋲リペットで強化する特許を特許番号139121号として取得した。 リーバイ・ストラウス社は帆布を用いた新しいスタイルのワークパンツとして、最初のブルージーンズを製造し始めた♪
Strauss opened his dry goods wholesale business as Levi Strauss & Co. and imported fine dry goods—clothing, bedding, combs, purses, handkerchiefs—from his brothers in New York. He made tents, and later jeans. Levi lived with Fanny's growing family. Jacob Davis, one of Strauss's customers and one of the inventors of riveted denim pants in 1871, went into business with Strauss to produce blue jeans. The two men patented the new style of work pants in 20 May 1873.
Levi Strauss was born in Buttenheim, Germany, on February 26, 1829, in the Franconian region of Bavaria, Germany, to an Ashkenazi Jewish family. He was the son of Hirsch Strauss and his second wife Rebecca Strauss. At the age of 18, Strauss, his mother and two sisters traveled to the United States to join his brothers Jonas and Louis, who had begun a wholesale dry goods business in New York City called J. Strauss Brother & Co.
Levi's sister Fanny and her husband David Stern moved to St. Louis, Missouri, while Levi went to live in Louisville, Kentucky, and sold his brothers' supplies in Kentucky. In January 1853, Levi Strauss became an American citizen.
The family decided to open a West Coast branch of the family dry goods business in San Francisco, which was the commercial hub of the California Gold Rush. Levi was chosen to represent the family and he took a steamship for San Francisco, arriving in early March 1853, where he joined his sister's family.
