Publication number: 20240125028Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James Barton Sights, David Love, Elizabeth O'Neill, Benjamin Bell, Jennifer Schultz, Christopher Schultz, Debdulal Mahanty, Sachith Devendra Samarasinghe, Chatura Atukorala, Jeff Zens

Publication number: 20240099408Abstract: Delayed finishing of apparel products, such as by way of laser finishing, allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: James Barton James, David Love, Elizabeth O'Neill, Jeff Zens

Patent number: 11885066Abstract: A structure has spaces that can accommodate at least two International Organization for Standardization compliant shipping containers. The structure has studs, joists, and rafters connected together above, besides, between, and in front of the spaces for the shipping containers. The structure provides for an attractive outdoor retail space with shading, allowing for signage, decorations, product display, ergonomics, and other retail design features. In an implementation, the structure is for a mobile retail space that is tailored for customizing and manufacture of the customized apparel, especially the laser finishing of products like jeans. The mobile retail space can be relocated to and deployed easily at various events, such as sports events and music festival venues.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Levi Strauss & Co.Inventors: James Barton Sights, Elizabeth O'Neill, Jeff Zens
