16. Competitor Comparison
Our main competitor is Diesel. The main distinctions between Levi and Diesel products is the fact that Levi’s offers a variety of practical styles, while Diesel offers strictly the couture look. The MSRP is also higher with Diesel products, which makes it a brand that caters to a niche population.

17. Competitor Comparison
The main differences between the two jackets:
The Diesel jackets run small and do not fit the same with every size
There is no authenticity in the styles of jackets and makes it hard for the customer to wear it with several different outfits

18. Style Benefit
The key component to Levi Strauss products is the level of quality they provide. In addition to this jacket being one of a kind, it is classic in that it is true to the design of the original blue jean created by Mr. Strauss and Mr. Davis.
The jacket is an executive style jacket that can be worn in any setting. The cropped look allows it to be paired with a pair of jeans or dress pants.

19. According to Consumer Reports, Levi holds 60% of the Market Share within the jean industry. This is
because they are able to provide their customers with quality products, that keep them coming back.
