differences in levi's


Recommended Posts

Incorrect! There's a lot of misinformation on the web.

Leiv's bought the earliest known pair of Leiv's (which predated the 501) for $45,000 a couple of years ago. It had a watch pocket. THey also have one pair in a tan cotton duck from the same period. These are the earliest known Levi's, from 1880 or earlier, and they both have watch pockets.

It was right from the start.

An interesting question is whether any other pants makers used arcuates BEFORE Levi's. It's quite possible.No one knows how unique the design of the first Levi's pants was, for instance whether they took a pretty common design, and just added their own unique touch, the rivets. Lots of rivals used arcuates in the 1890s.

The Premium 501's were selvage? It never mentioned that on their website and the Chicago Levi's Store didn't carry them. Damnit.
