Levi's 1966 501 Original Fit Selvedge Men's Jeans 32x36
Description
Back in 1937, Levi's® began covering the back pocket rivets in an attempt to address complaints of rivets scratching furniture. But those copper rivets were tougher than they looked, and after a few years of hard wear, would break through the denim and proceed onto furniture. Luckily for couches everywhere, by 1966, technology had caught up and the back pocket rivets were replaced with bar tacks. This small change maintained the jean’s notorious durability, while finally solving the decades-long furniture-scratching issue. This particular style of 501® Jean;with its bar tacks and a Big “E” Red Tab™;only existed from 1966 to 1971. Now, we're bringing it back, with all of the unique features that make it stand out in our long, storied history. A reproduction of a pair of ultra-rare 501® Jeans that were only produced from 1966 to 1971;until now Made with both bar tacks, a Big “E” double-sided Red Tab™ and leather-like Two Horse Pull patch Bartack stitches are made to enforce the jean and preserved the garment's renowned durability Crafted from rigid selvedge denim Finished with twin needle arcuate stitching
