Sta-Prest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sta-Prest was a brand of wrinkle-free trousers produced by Levi Strauss & Co., beginning in 1964.

These products were marketed as wearable straight out of the dryer, with no need for ironing. The trousers were especially popular among British mods of the mid 1960s and skinheads of the late 1960s. These trousers have become imitated by other companies, such as Merc (which markets a brand called Sta Press), and vintage pairs have become highly collectable.
