 revolution. One year later, Dockers introduced a women's line.

In 2002, Dockers khakis were found in the wardrobes of 8 out of 10 American men, such popularity causing the Dockers brand to be, at times, synonymous with khakis. As a result, Dockers has recently adopted the "Dockers San Francisco" global identity and marketing campaign in an effort to evolve beyond the success of its khakis into into a full lifestyle resource, providing head-to-toe apparel for women, men, boys, products for the home and luggage. Under the current "Dress To Live" campaign, Dockers features four clothing specialties: weekend, work, dress, and golf.

Slates were a similar line of slacks that Levi introduced many years after Dockers.

As of November 2007, Dockers currently operates eleven retail stores in the United States
