LEVI'S VINTAGE CLOTHING (LVC) 1944 501XX BIG-E JEANS
BRAND Levi's Vintage Clothing (LVC).
DESCRIPTION
The 1944 501 jean's design was shaped by the limitation of World War II, when restrictions were placed on the amount of metal, fabric and thread that could be used by clothing manufacturers, as a result Levi stripped back their design to the essentials. Cut with a high waist and a regular fit from 12oz Cone Mills red selvedge denim, this robust pair are styled with unbranded buttons and rivets as per the original.
Details include:
- 12oz Cone Mills red selvedge denim.
- One side Big-E red tab.
- High waist and regular fit.
- Hidden back pockets rivets.
- Unbranded donut-buttons and rivets.
- Two-horse leather patch.
- Buttons fly.
- Classic five-pocket styling.
- Selvedge coin pocket.
- Painted arcuates.
- Made in USA.
Original retail price was £255.
