Wpl 423

Does anyone know what this means? I see it on the tag of all of my Levi's 501s made in Mexico

Thanks

WPL stands for the Wool Products Labeling registration number issued as far back as 1939 based on the Wool Products Labeling act.. Nowadays it has been superseeded by an RN number. Every textile company manufacturing US made goods is issued an RN or WPL number, and for Levi Strauss it is WPL 423. The moniker "wool" is just historical, I doubt Levis makes a lot of wool products anymore.

Another one from the Dept. of Useless Information.
