No jeans are more eternal and classic than 501. Jeans have evolved from a pair of trousers to a essential item for fashion. Lavis’s 501 has a pivotal status or epoch -making significance.

From the mid -to -late 19th century, it was born in the gold rush boom in the western United States. After experiencing changes in war, craftsmanship and culture, there have also been many different changes in the design of 501. Today I will talk to you about the characteristics and characteristics of 501 different ages and the characteristics and of the characteristics and the difference.

The first year’s products are definitely not available, so today I will tell you the LVC series.

First of all, I science with you, what is LVC.

LVC, the full name of Levi ’s Vintage Clothing, is a retro series launched by Levi’ s. According to the classic 501 of the previously classic fabrics, versions, and packaging.

Simply put, it is Levi ’s’s high -end auxiliary line to engrav its past classic works.

If you want to divide the LEVI ’s main line and LVC, you can think of Levi’ s as a fashion product, and LVC as a retro product.

The high -end sub -line LVC is a level than the main line from the fabric, hardware to the workmanship, which is why LVC sells more expensive than Levi ’s.

The re -engraved version of 501 basically brings a small tail, which is 501xx, so what does XX mean?

Intersection

On Levi ’s leather cards, the numbers behind LOT are classification of Levi’ s jeans, and different models represent different pants types.

Before 1890,

That is

501

Before becoming a registered trademark, this jeans

It is named directly using the name of the fabric. This cloth is called XX

It is produced by the Amoskeag factory in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.

AMOSKEAG was the most famous denim producer in the United States at that time, and

XX was the industrial term “EXTRA EXTRA Strong” at that time

, Meaning to use the highest quality and strongest denim cloth in production.

Of course, this factory no longer exists, and this so -called the highest quality of that year is not suitable for the current production level, but for the brand, this product positioning representing the highest quality XX has not changed. LVC is a re -engraved classic. Of course, this classic details have been retained.

The 44 representative in LVC 44501 represented in 1944, 501 was 501, and the whole meaning was 501 in 1944.

Next, I will talk to you about some changes and characteristics of 501 in different years. You can definitely find a version that belongs to you.

1890 Gold Rush Rush Graduate Pants

In the mid -to -late 19th century, under the influence of the gold rush boom, workers wanted a pants that were both abrasion and firm, so

Tailor Jacob Davis produced a tiny trousers with rivets

Essence

Later, Lavis and Jacob Davis jointly applied for patents to launch XX jeans.

In 1890, XX jeans were officially named 501 jeans

Essence But it does not mean that 501 was born in 1890,

Actually 501 jeans were born on May 20, 1873

, That is, the day Levi ’s got the rivet patent.

Until 1890, the Levi ’s rivet patent expired, and XX jeans were officially renamed 501 at this time. Number 5 was produced by the high -level product line at the time, and

501 represents workers, 506 represents jackets.

1973 XX jeans

1890 501 jeans

89501 Features:

High -waist loose cone, 9oz tannin, with strap buckle, Paris buckle, double -horses (began in 1886), a single rear bag, the rivet for the crotch and the rear bag for strengthening is exposed.

Because jeans of that era were very loose and fat, workers buckled their straps to prevent jeans from falling in labor.

Whether it is XX in 1873 or 501 in 1890, there is only one rear bag.

XX jeans in 1873

However, the jeans were used for workers and miners at that time. As a practical work clothes, it was clear that a rear bag could not meet the needs of the miners at that time. so

In 1901, Levi ’s added a second backbag on the left buttocks at the request of consumers.

That is, at this time, the classic pants were formally formed, and 501 also began to have the prototype of modern universal jeans.

Anyway, remember that the jeans before 1902 had only one back bag.

1922 younger generation on the belt

In the 1920s, after the end of World War I

, Belt began to popularize in American society, high quality

The clothing has also gradually added the ears of the trousers since then

, That is, the design of the belt ring. Young workers also feel that the belt is more convenient and more fashionable than the strap. However, there is always a period of transition from the birth of new things. It takes time for people to accept a new thing. Young people think that it is very fashionable, but the older generation may feel unaccustomed. so

In this period 501, although the belt ring was added, the strap buckle and the Paris buckle were still retained at the same time.

During this period, another change was that the fabric supplier of Levi ’s in 1915 changed from the AMOSKEAG factory to CONE DENIM, and the weight of 501 also changed from 9oz to 11oz.

Then there are some saying on the Internet that Chichet also appeared during this period. In fact, this statement is not wrong, but some people mistakenly think that the denim with cloth edge was only produced during this period. But actually,

People in the cowboy industry will refer to all cowboy cloth with cloth edges as red edges, that is, red ears

Essence Pedestrians are called red edges, and outsiders are called red ears, but they are actually the same thing. The cloth edge, weaving, locks, edges, edges, and trims are only the difference between translation. In fact, they all mean.

actually,

At that time, the denim was produced by an old -fashioned woven machine named a narrow woven machine. and

The denim produced by the old -fashioned woven machine is covered with cloth edges

So before 1915, whether it was produced by CONE DENIM or whether it was LEVI ’s’s products, jeans at that time had cloth edges.

It is because of this,

In order to distinguish between competitors, LEVI ’s asked Cone Denim to produce color cloth edges after changing to the factory of Cone Denim.

From then on,

Red edge has become Levi’s very classic mark

A non -official business card.

As for why it is a red edge instead of other colors, why do other brands have other colors of cloth edge later? What is the effect of cloth edge? Is LEVI’s the first brand to make red edges? There are too many stories in it. It ’s not about it here. If you are not very clear about the concept of the original cow of Chicar, you can also see the video of our second issue ~

22501 Features:

High -waist loose and wide legs, 11oz Cone Denim cloth, adds the belt ring design, still equipped with strap buckle, Paris buckle, double -pack card, two rear bags, crotch and back bags with exposed rivets.

1933 coexistence

In the 1920s and 1930s, it was a period of suspension buckle, Paris buckle and belt circles.

, People can transform their dressing style according to their preferences. There is also an interesting thing here, that is, a scissors will be placed in Lavis’s shop at the time for customers to DIY. Young customers who like the belt ring will cut off the Paris buckle and strap buckle at the moment.

It was not removed by the official band buckle in 1937, and the Paris buckle was canceled during World War II.

22501 and 33501, these two periods and details have not changed much. It just changed from high waist and wide legs to high waist straight, and the weight of the fabric changed from 11oz to 10oz, and other details have not changed.

22501

33501

but

There is a small white label under the 33501 double -horse leather card, with a blue eagle and “NRA” printed on the label

Essence NRA’s full name “National Recovery Act” – “National Revival Act” is one of the response measures that the US government emerged in response to market chaos during the Great Depression.

High -waist loose straight tube, 10oz Cone Denim cloth, equipped with belt ring, strap buckle, Paris buckle, dual -packtone card, “NRA” label, crotch and rear bag use exposed rivets to strengthen.

1937 Open the era of Big E Red Banner

In 1936, 501 ushered in a major detail change, that is, a small red label was added to the left edge of the right rear bag

, LEVI’s, which is written on it, is commonly known now

Big E Red Banner

Essence This is also one of the measures for Levi’s to distinguish between competitors. This recognizable little red flag has since become a well -known brand logo, and has also strengthened the image of Levi’s in the minds of consumers.

1937

Because customers often complain about the rivets and furniture of the back bag, so

Levi’s changed the back bag to

Hidden rivet

And added the iconic slogan “The Rivet’ s Still there is still there).

When I explained 33501, I mentioned that the strap buckle was deleted in 1937, so we saw

The LVC 37501 is a hidden rivet without a strap buckle, but it retains the Paris buckle and has a big E red flag jeans.

37501 Features:

The middle waist is loose, and the 10oz Cone Denim cloth removes the strap buckle, but retains the belt ring and Paris buckle, Shuangmapi card, big E red flag, and hidden rivets are reinforced.

1944 War Edition 501

1944 was the Second World War in World War II

The war caused a shortage of material in the United States. In order to ensure the supply of combat reserve, the US government informed that the entire clothing industry needs to be open source, and must save production raw materials such as hardware and fabrics, and reduce production processes to make concessions for combat supplies. L

EVI’S has canceled rivets on the pants in order to respond to the call

For example, the reinforced rivets on the crotch and right watch bag,

And the brand word on the button

Due to the unstable supply chain during the war, there will be various buttons and rivets on the market. Some even have no brand words.

What is more impressive is the main buckle engraved with the laurel leaf pattern, which symbolizes peace

and

Double arc -shaped rear bag flower

It is considered to be purely decorated by the US government, these non -functional designs of non -functional designs

Ordered to remove

For the brand side, the double arc -shaped bag flower is a very iconic design of Levi’s, just like the existence of the brand image

so

Although

Levi’s

Remove the rear bag stitching as required, but before each pants are out of the factory

Print on the back bag with orange pigments

However, the printed rear bag flowers will gradually fall off with the use, so

Even if you find a 44501 in the first year, you should not see the bag flowers

This is also a unique detail of the war version 501.

501 during this period is also known as the simplified version 501

Because many details are simplified, so

501xx on the Shuang Mi Pi card also changed to it

S501xx

This is the special code of the war period, “

S “is SIMPLIFIED (simplified)

the meaning of.

501 during World War II can be said to be the most special and most modified version, and the time in history is very short

In just a few years, so if you find 44501 in the first year,

It can be said

Very collective value

1947 Hyundai 501 Birth

After World War II, the material resumed supply, and 501 also restored the original standard configuration

Lavis has quickly restored large -scale production to meet the growing demand for consumers after the war.

The rivet and buttons were engraved with the brand words again.

The dual -curved shape of the rear bag began to use a dual -needle car line, a new car technology, so that

A small diamond shape is formed at the intersection of the double arc

It looks like a small diamond “Diamond”, so this famous “diamond” double arc bag flower has also become an important small mark of 501 after 47 years.

From this period, the shape of the post -501 post -501 bag is more regular.

In the late 1940s

Jeans are gradually daily, no longer only worn workers.

501 is also increasingly loved by film and television stars, fashion people and middle class

Essence So levi’s

The adjustment on the version is more slim

, In line with the aesthetics of people at the time.

The 501 during this period is also a material manifestation of the new desire of life after World War II.

It marks the birth of Hyundai 501

It can be said that 47501 is one of the most representative and most popular 501 models, because it is a style launched after World War II, all details are returned, and the version is more in line with modern people’s aesthetics, so

501 in 1947 is also an epoch -making jeans.

The preferences of the eastern consumers that are more in line with the trend, the version is more slim, and the pants are narrower.

Of course, changing the buttons to the zipper placket may actually be LEVI’s zipper jeans launched by Levi’s to combat competitors. In fact, Lee began to produce zipper jeans as early as the 1920s.

But this change attracted the dissatisfaction of old customers. The zipper on the crotch made them feel like urinating in the mouth of crocodile. therefore,

In order to meet the needs of different customers, LEVI’s also launched 501 and 501Z of classic buttons and 501Z.

1955 Paper Standard Times

Due to the influence of Hollywood film and television works, jeans have changed from work pants to fashion items, and even began to sweep the world. and

The name Overalls is also replaced by jeans (Jeans)

The jeans during this period were given a wild rebellion image

Schools in eastern United States have begun to ban students from wearing trendy jeans. But for young people, the more prohibited things you want, the more you can get it.

Therefore, jeans are becoming more and more popular, and denim trends are out of control.

In 1955, 501 used the “square straight tube tailoring”, and the leg was cut with straight tube. It was not tight in the buttocks, but the legs were very repairing, forming a stronger wrapping tailoring. because

During this period, the sales scope of 501 has been expanded to the United States. The cost of using leather double -packle cards is getting higher and higher. In addition, the skin card is washed by some washing, so

Change the skin label to a paper label.

in addition,

Around 1955, the red flag of Levi’s red flag changed from a single -sided big E red flag “Levi ‘S” to

1966 last generation big E

In 1937, the hidden rivet was eventually removed.

Because the rivet used to reinforce the rear bag hidden in the fabric design, in fact, it has not completely solved the problem of scratching furniture. After a long period of wear and wear, the hard rivets will eventually break out. Until 1966, with the development of the industry, this problem was cured.

Lavis uses polyester line to make a set to reinforce the back bag

Therefore, the hidden rivet of the rear bag was eventually eliminated.

A few years later,

The “Levi ‘S” uppercase font on the red flag was officially retired in 1971. It is replaced by lowercase font levis.

Turn on the era of small e red flag
