LEVI'S VINTAGE COLLECTION
LEVI'S STRAUSS AND CO.
Levi Strauss & Co. is an American clothing company known worldwide for its Levi's brand of denim jeans. It was founded in May 1853 when German immigrant Levi Strauss moved from Bettelheim, Bavaria, to San Francisco.
LEVI’S VINTAGE COLLECTION
Levi’s vintage collection was founded in 1975 as a Levi’s has recreated
the whimsical event, complete with models in period-correct clothing from the new collection.
Recreated using the exact fits, fabrics, and other various details from Levi’s
mid-’70s lineup, the current collection boasts a wide range of unmistakably
‘70s digs, including re-released versions of some iconic denim trucker jackets, corduroy pants, and jackets, and a
slew of other accurately replicated clothing. The collection also boasts a few
recreated Levi’s items from the ‘50s and ‘60s.
The collection
includes clothing which, even if it is not genuinely "vintage" itself (i.e., old, originating from a previous era, but not so old as being antique), is designed in the style of vintage
clothing.
It all starts with The Two Horse brand patch. I mean, it doesn’t
actually – but for the sake of dating your 501’s a decipherable Two Horse brand patch. It all starts with The Two Horse brand patch. I
mean, it doesn’t actually – but for the sake of dating your 501’s a
decipherable Two Horse brand patch will tell you a lot about when your 501’s
were produced. The Two Horse brand patch was implemented in 1886, sixteen years
after Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented the copper-riveted waist overall.
Actually, the waist overall wasn’t dubbed the ‘501’ until 1890 when the patent
went into the public domain and Levi’s had to think of new ways to make them stand
out. The earliest pair of 501’s that I’ve come across currently for sale is a
pair 1902501XX priced
at around 35,000 dollars in a good vintage condition. the brand patch was

Like with the vintage jackets, Levi’s made use of both copper orange and lemon-yellow thread.
