After World War II, Levi’s® unveiled its denim “Ranch Pants” for women. The “Ranch Pants” were a modified version of the earlier “Lady Levi’s” style. They featured a side zipper and a slimmer, fashionable silhouette. Although “Lady Levi’s” had been marketed for women to wear on a ranch, the new “Ranch Pants” were more likely to appear in suburbia.
