Does Claude Levi-Strauss have pants named after him?

No. Claude Levi-Strauss does not have pants named after him. They person who make Levi's was named Levi Strauss. Levi is is first name not his last. Here is a little info about Levi Strauss: (not Claude)Born: 26 February 1829Died: 26 September 1902Birthplace: Buttenheim, Bavaria (now Germany)Best known as: The creator of Levi's denim jeansName at birth: Loeb Strauss Levi Strauss made his fortune in the California Gold Rush as the maker of sturdy pants -- Levi's, the world's most famous denim jeans. Strauss emigrated to New York from Bavaria in 1847, then made his way to the San Francisco area in 1853. A tailor who had planned to make tents for miners, Strauss ended up stitching canvas pants that became famous for their durability. The "pants of Levi's" came to be called simply Levi's, and they became one of the best-selling products in his dry goods store. He began using fabric from Nîmes, France, serge de Nîmes (the origin of the word denim), then added dye to make them blue. In the 1870s he partnered with Jacob Davis of Nevada to add copper rivets to the pockets. Levi Strauss & Company became one of the world's largest manufacturers of casual clothing and Strauss himself became a wealthy patron of the city of San Francisco. Strauss was a lifelong bachelor, and after his death in 1902 his nephews took over the companyWe cannot, however, account for whether Claude Levi-Strauss named his own pants and trousers after himself. As in calling each pair "Claude," "Levi," or "Strauss." If he did, then the answer to your question is resoundingly yes.
