Also, just to point this out, I'm not sure what style guide The Guardian is following here. Levi Strauss & Co. is not "Levi's". Just being generous with the error, as a company, they take a plural verb in British English. So in two words, there are two errors.

    Also, from a language perspective, it's appropriate to call Levi Strauss just "Levi", and he's best known for his company's product (jeans/denim). It's just short for either his company or his jeans, depending on context.

    Not much different than saying "Vans", "Nike's", "Crocs", "Uggs", etc. when talking about shoes.
