... in relation toa pair of Levi's jeans.
Could this be "turn-ups", or does it refer to the special stitching or something?

Aujourd'hui, grâce à de nouveaux produits (par exemple, le red tab avec une coupe ajustée ** ou encore le jean " twisted " à couture tournante **) appuyés par des publicités innovantes, Levi's a su se réinventer une identité auprès des adolescents. On se souvient notamment de la pub montrant deux jeunes traversant les murs en hurlant qui exprime un sentiment de violence et la volonté de se dépasser, notions qui révèlent assez bien l'état d'esprit des ados.
