Vintage Jeans – From The Levi Strauss Wholesale Days To Present

Levi’s Jeans, a staple of American clothing has survived for more than a century and a half (it was founded by a man named Levi Strauss in 1853!) And are more than likely the most well known blue jeans producers in the world. Their quality blue jeans have proven to be a modern staple of workmen the world over due to their durability; even though a lot of people insist on wearing Levi’s blue jeans even though they do not use them to work in, but only because they are very finely made blue jeans.

Levi’s blue jeans have a rich revolutionary history, stemming from the fact that a man named Jacob Davis would procure fabric from the Levi Strauss wholesale purchasing plant and would make pants with them. The purchasers of Davis’s original pants would bring them back, complaining of the many rips and tears they would obtain through daily laborious work.

On an idea, Davis decided to reinforce the pants with rivets at the points where the most pressure was put on pants, but lacked funds to purchase a patent – so he went instead into business with Levi Strauss, where they started to use these rivets to reinforce the denim blue jeans, a plan that provided to be wildly successful because these blue jeans were stronger and far more durable than anything that had yet been put on the market, meaning that they gained immense popularity with the American working class, as they were relatively inexpensive and they would not have to waste the time mending the blue jeans all the time since they were so tough.

From those humble beginnings, Levi’s Jeans has been producing the most durable denim blue jeans on the market from the time they were conceived up until this very day – a show in remarkable human ingenuity and integrity; a willing to never quit and the drive to make a better pair of jeans that anyone could afford that would not fall apart after a weeks hard use.

Vtg 50s Single Stitch Indigo Buckaroo Big Smith Jeans Levi Selvage Big E Pants



Vintage Big E Generation of Big Smith Vintage Denim   

Single Stitch Pronounced Red Line

Leather Label Pants

Priority International Shipping is Available, except to Italy or Spain

*** Shipping can be slow due to severe health problems or sudden hospitalization  ***

 

This pair of dark denim pants are an exciting find.

They don't have any wear to the fabric, just a few splats of paint or toothpaste.

The paint spots are not as pronounced in person.  My camera can intensify color differences.  

I don't think these had ever been washed before I (houseboy) got ahold of them. 

The denim is nice and dark. 

The red stitching is more pronounced in person, stands out more.

Watch pocket is single stitched yellow inside and carmel outside.

The little pocket has selvage and rivets on the inside of the pants, copper.

 

The pants have their original hem and length.

The original size stamped inside is 31 x 32.  Now they measure 30 x 31, but would

probably loosen up a bit when worn.  These have never been worn

enough to loosen the fabric up.

Brass Gripper Zipper.

No holes.  No tears.

 

Email questions. 

  ***  Please go by measurements***

 

Today's Fit: Men's Small

Waist: 30" or 76.2 cm

The 1947 501®XX is regarded by many as the ultimate 5-pocket jeans. It is the post-war model, slightly slimmer in cut than its predecessors and sporting the uniform Arcuate design due to Levi’s use of a new technology at the time – double-needle sewing machines. The Arcuate designs are double-needle-stitched in lemon yellow on the back pockets and the the single-sided Levi’s Big E pocket tag is attached to the right pocket.

The fabric in this pair, named Rodeo hero (Lot 47501 – 0073) is indigo-dyed red selvage 14 oz denim, rich blue in colour and amazingly soft. The wash of the jeans gives the impression of the denim fabric having been washed a few times from raw, and is further enhanced with three distressed spot underneath the left side pocket, sand-blasted areas on the knees and seat and whiskering at the crotch to create a replica of a genuine pair of 1947 501?s from the Levi’s archives.

Features: Washed 14 oz Red Selvage right-hand twill denim, 2 rear pockets with hidden rivets and double-needle-stitched Arcuate design, capital E red tab, Two Horse leather patch, V-stitch near the top button, watch (or change) pocket with rivets and redline selvage on the inside of the top edge, single-felled inseam in yellow, bar tacking in black and button-up flies. The jeans are made in Turkey from American XX (top quality) denim fabric.

Available in sizes (as shown on the label):

Waist 32 inches, length 34 inches. Actual measurements (taken flat): Waist 32 inches (16 inches/40.5 cm across), inseam 34 inches/86 cm, front rise measurement (from top of the jean to the crotch – point of intersection of the two legs of the jean) 11 inches/28 cm, outseam 44 inches/112 cm, bottom leg opening 8 inches/20 cm;
