It all begins in the late half of the 1800's.  Wouldn't you love to own the very first pair of Levi waist overalls?

May 20, 1873 marked an historic day: the birth of the blue jean. It was on that day that Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis obtained a U.S. patent on the process of putting rivets in men's work pants for the very first time.  They were called “waist overalls” or “overalls” until 1960, when baby boomers adopted the name “jeans.”

One day the wife of a local laborer asked Jacob to make a pair of pants for her husband that wouldn't fall apart. Jacob tried to think of a way to strengthen his trousers and came up with the idea to put metal rivets at points of strain, like pocket corners and the base of the button fly. These riveted pants were an instant hit. Jacob quickly decided to take out a patent on the process, but needed a business partner to help get the project rolling. He immediately thought of Levi Strauss, from whom he had purchased the cloth to make his riveted pants. Davis wrote to Levi to suggest that the two men hold the patent together. Levi, being an astute businessman, saw the potential for this new product, and agreed to Jacob's proposal. The two men received patent #139,121 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on May 20, 1873.  Soon, the first riveted clothing was made and sold.  They made their first jeans out of denim the traditional fabric for men's workwear.

About Levi Strauss & Company

Levi Strauss Biography

If you get lucky and spot our famous red tab as you scan the racks for the perfect new-to-you jeans, here a few ways to help determine when they were made.

1. Check the Red Tab: Take a look at the right back pocket. Do you see the famous red tab?  Is the word LEVI'S® in all capital letters, or does it have a small letter “e” instead?  The Tab with LEVI'S (also known as “Big E”) means the jeans are from before 1971.

2. Look for Care Tags: Care tags began being added to Levi's garments in the 1970s.

3. Examine the Inseams: The style of inseam on almost all Levi's® made before the mid-1980s featured a single felled inseam, which is a single stitch running down the inner thigh.
