LVC 1947-501 Crotch Rivet?

[Jim Cissell]

While checking out the winter European Levi's LVC website (UK) I noticed they were offering two versions of their 1947 501 jeans.

One was their 'dry' offering, of course. The other was a tad more intriguing - it was called 'Indigo Heart' and featured a crotch rivet!

I understand that detail was eliminated from the 501 line earlier, so I was surprised when I saw it there.

The dry version didn't appear to have the same rivet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

Has anyone gone to this site yet, and checked out those jeans?

Indigo Heart is the finish on the 1937 jeans, which of course do have a crotch rivet.

I thought that the crotch rivet was from the earlier model - but they have it clearly labeled the '1947' model.

What gives?

It's a typo in the heading. It should read 1937. The jeans illustrated are the 1937 ones, so is the description. AFAIK there is no distressed 47 jean in the current range. And the '37 ones, which are in the range, aren't listed on the website.
