Do Levi’s® products use leather?
Levi’s® products may feature either leather or non‑leather patches. When a product contains real leather, this is clearly disclosed on the inside garment tag with the statement: “Contains non‑textile parts of animal origin.”
Does Levi’s® have an Animal Welfare Policy?
Yes. Levi’s® has an Animal Welfare Policy that is designed to protect animal health and welfare. The policy is guided by recognized best‑practice standards, including the Five Domains of Animal Welfare: nutrition, environment, health, behavior, and mental state.

How does Levi’s® ensure humane treatment when sourcing leather?
Any leather used in Levi’s® products must come from suppliers that follow humane treatment and responsible animal husbandry practices. Overall, Levi’s® uses a very limited amount of animal‑derived materials—approximately 1% of total materials—with only a portion of that being leather.
Why do Levi’s® products use different patch materials?
Patch materials vary by style and design. Some products feature genuine leather patches, while others use alternative materials. The most reliable way to determine whether a product contains real leather is to review the inside garment tag, which will clearly indicate this information.
