This is the Levi's Vintage Clothing reproduction of a 501 model from 1890. The 501 from this era could be describe as the mother of blue jeans and were created back in the days when a pair of denim trousers were intended to be worn as a protective garment working in the mining industry in western USA. The miners needed durable garments and quite a few companies started to produce work garments in the San Fransisco area during this period. Levi's was one of them and thanks to the patented granted in 1873 for the invention of reinforcing the distress points of the garment using copper rivets the brand is the only one remaining still in the business of making blue jeans today.
These jeans are in a good condition and made in the U.S.A by LVC. This pair is a little bit special as it is carries big patchwork repairs and stitched fold ups. The cinch buckle is missing and there is signs of wear. If you would like a heavy duty pair of LVC's with lots of character, here's your shot. Be sure to measure a pair of your good fitting jeans and compare with our measurements.
These jeans wear made in January 1999 when Levi's first started the reproduction line called Levis Vintage Clothing, or "LVC". Back then they made all the garments in their old factory located on Valencia Street in San Fransisco.
The factory on Valencia Street was opened as the new headquarter and main production facility for Levis back in 1906 and it got to serve as a new start for the brand after the devastating earthquake and fire that occurred earlier that year. The factory was used for different purposes from that time up until 2002 when Levis were cutting costs and decided to close down the production in the old factory.
In other words, the so called "555 LVC Made in the USA" products were the last garments made in the old Levi's factory. LVC later moved their production to Turkey and after that they turned back to the United States, but to the garment district in Los Angeles.
These garments have become collectibles among the reproductions and they are easy to spot since the back of the buttons that are stamped with "555". You can also by look at the care label, these are stiff and have a silver thread that goes along the edges and you can also see the text "555 Made in the USA" written on the label.
