MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
There’s nothing quite like slipping into a sturdy, yet comfortable pair of jeans for work on casual Fridays, or even when out shopping on a Monday night. To understand why, we have to turn the clock back more than 170 years to California during the Gold Rush. Back then, miners and labourers in the American West worked under punishing conditions, and their work trousers often ripped at the points of greatest strain, particularly around the pocket corners, where heavy tools and equipment were carried. Then came the day, May 20, 1873, where dry goods merchant Levi Strauss and tailor Jacob Davis obtained a US patent on putting rivets in men’s work pants for the very first time. The rivets made the pants dramatically stronger, and durable enough for miners, labourers and cowboys who needed clothing to withstand punishing conditions. And with that, the first riveted clothing – a pair of jeans made using denim – was made and sold. And the rest was history. More than a century on, modern day jeans are more than just workwear, and continue to make waves in the fashion world. The same goes for Levi’s the company too. Since returning to the public markets in 2019, the firm has been actively transforming its business through high-profile marketing efforts, pushing higher margin direct-to-consumer sales, and actively attracting women customers. In July 2026, the firm reported second quarter net revenue of US$1.56 billion, an 8 per cent increase on the year. The apparel maker now expects its fiscal 2026 net revenue to grow between 7 and 7.5 per cent, higher than the 5.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent forecast previously. Growth was also seen across all regions, with a 9 per cent on-year increase in net revenues for its largest market, the Americas. For Asia, that figure stood at 10%. But how does the firm assess its performance as a whole, and how far will it double down on its business in Asia? What are the key opportunities in the region, and how is the firm positioning denim as a to-go fashion choice given the younger generation’s interest or obsession with athleisure wear? In this “On the Go” Special episode of Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed down to Levi’s Singapore flagship store at ION Orchard to get the answers from Vicky Skelton, Managing Director, East Asia Pacific, Levi Strauss & Co.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en Levi Strauss, que ha mejorado sus previsiones para el conjunto del ejercicio tras unos resultados superiores a lo esperado. La compañía estima ahora que sus ingresos netos crecerán entre un 7% y un 7,5% durante el año fiscal 2026. La firma confía en que la fortaleza de su marca y la demanda de sus icónicos vaqueros continúen impulsando las ventas, incluso en un contexto marcado por la incertidumbre geopolítica derivada del conflicto con Irán. Durante el segundo trimestre, la empresa elevó su facturación un 8%, superando los 1.500 millones de dólares, mientras que el beneficio por acción alcanzó los 28 centavos, cuatro por encima de las previsiones del consenso. Sin embargo, la reacción del mercado no ha sido positiva. Las acciones de Levi Strauss llegaron a perder más de un 5% en las operaciones posteriores al cierre, después de que la compañía presentara una previsión de beneficio por acción ajustado para el conjunto del año por debajo de lo que esperaban los analistas. Aun así, otros indicadores reflejan una evolución sólida del negocio. Las ventas orgánicas aumentaron un 6% y el canal directo al consumidor registró un crecimiento del 8%, dos cifras que respaldan la confianza de la empresa para mantener su liderazgo en el mercado del denim. La historia de Levi Strauss se remonta a mediados del siglo XIX, cuando su fundador Levi Strauss, emigró desde Baviera a Estados Unidos en busca de nuevas oportunidades. Se instaló en San Francisco, donde abrió un negocio de tejidos y confección. El gran punto de inflexión llegó en 1872, cuando el sastre Jacob Davis le planteó un problema recurrente: los pantalones de los mineros se rompían con facilidad debido a las duras condiciones de trabajo. Ambos desarrollaron una solución sencilla pero revolucionaria: reforzar los bolsillos con remaches metálicos. Un año después patentaron conjuntamente esa innovación, dando origen a una de las prendas más populares de la historia de la moda. La trayectoria bursátil de Levi Strauss también ha estado marcada por varios cambios. La empresa debutó en la Bolsa de Nueva York en 1971, aunque abandonó el parqué catorce años más tarde tras ser adquirida por la familia Haas, descendiente del fundador. No regresó a los mercados hasta 2019 y, en lo que va de año, sus acciones acumulan una revalorización superior al 17%.
Today in 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis received a patent for what the paperwork called "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings.” Their blue jeans were originally meant for people when they were out working in really hard, tough jobs. And ironically, that's what ended up making jeans popular for everyday use. Plus: the Netherlands has a job for people on the internet!

The history of denim takes us back to the 16th century and Neme, France. However, it is not until 1872 that denim fabric was transformed into the iconic clothing item that we now know as blue jeans. In 1872 a tailor, by the name of Jacob Davis, was asked to make a pair of pants for a miner that would last longer. He added copper rivets to the key stress points on the paints. He was working for Levi Strauss, a Bavarian-born dry goods merchant. It was the peak of the Gold Rush. The pant design became an instant success. Davis asked Strauss to help him fund his design patent. Strauss agreed. The patent was issued in 1873 and a business partnership was established. Levi Strauss Jean company was formed. The world was never the same. #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #LeviStraussJeans #TheOneNotTheNinety-Nine Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

Send us a textIt is early summer of 1754 and a young George Washington leads a group of Virginia soldiers through the woods of western Pennsylvania. What he doesn't know, is that after an encounter with French forces in late June, he will end up in a much more significant engagement just a few short weeks later… However this will not be just a simple clash between colonial forces deep in the frontier of North America, but rather the subsequent Battle of Fort Necessity will become the catalyst to an all out war… one that would eventually spread across the globe! Join us and historical interpreter Jacob Davis as we explore the incident at Jumonville Glen and the Battle of Fort Necessity… prelude to the French and Indian War!
