PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

When WWII ended and raw materials were available again, LS&Co. leaped back into heavy production to meet the growing post-war demand. The watch pocket rivets were restored and the Arcuate was now double stitched on the back pocket, after being applied with paint throughout the war. With a slimmer fit, and streamlined design that no longer included a cinch back or suspender buttons, this jean was ready to rock 'n' roll. The 1947 501® Jean was the jean of a new generation.

• Twin needle stitched Arcuate
• Two-back pockets with covered rivets

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

In the mid-1950's, LS&Co. started selling the 501® Jean on America's east coast for the first time.

It had everything longtime wearers loved: the straight fit with tapered leg, the tough but flexible fabrics, and concealed rivets. Retailers carried both the 501® Jean and its zippered brother, the 501®Z Jeans, and everyone got the pair that worked best for them.

Overview

• Straight fit with tapered leg
• Zip fly
• Two-back pockets with covered rivets
• Double needle stitched Arcuate

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

In 1944 the US government enforced textile rationing due to WWII expenses. Since the Arcuate Stitching Design was considered a decorative feature, Levi's® brand decided another alternative—to paint the Arcuate on every pair that came out of the factory. The paint eventually washed off but having that stitching visible when buying the jeans was the important thing. They are cut for a regular fit with a high waist, featuring the Two Horse leather patch, single sided Big E on the red Tab and the hidden back pocket rivets.

Overview

• Straight fit
• Button fly
• Two-back pockets with covered rivets
• Painted Arcuate
• 100% Cotton - Imported

Color:  Rigid

Fabric & Finish :  Cone Mills 12oz Red Selvage Denim (14oz after wash)
