Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1901 501 Selvage denim 100% cotton (no stretch) Size 34x34 Unwashed shrink to fit denim This is a sample piece from the Spring 2008 LVC collection. A true one of a kind pair of Levi’s. ABOUT THIS STYLE In 1901, the license plate made its debut, a famous trumpeter was born, a man crossed the Atlantic in a box and the fifth pocket was added to 501® Jeans. Many assume this to be the coin pocket, but no—the fifth pocket is the left back pocket, half of the now-iconic Levi’s® rear view. “Jeans,” as we know them today. A year later, Levi Strauss died at 73 in California (just five years before The Great San Francisco Earthquake that devastated his adopted city). Without this final creative act, 501® jeans might never have existed. An archival reproduction of 1901 501® jeans Features two back pockets with exposed rivets With a center back cinch and suspender buttons A “Two Horse” leather patch -due to this being a sample it is missing the print on the patch. Finished with a crotch rivet
