LEVI´S® VINTAGE CLOTHING 1947 501 BING CROSBY CUSTOMIZED

Levi's® Vintage Clothing1947 501xx Bing Crosby Customized, These customized 1947 501® jeans were produced to accompany the Bing Crosby Tuxedo Jacket, designed for Crosby after he was denied entrance into a Canadian hotel because he and his friend were dressed completely in denim. The characteristics of the jeans are similar to the original 1947 501xx® except for the outer seams that have been busted out and re-hemmed to resemble the grosgrain ribbon on a pair of tuxedo pants The 1947-501® jean is regarded as the definitive five-pocket jean and the quintessential 501® model. Levi's® jeans had been in short supply during the years of World War II, when several key features were removed to save vital metal and fabric. By 1947, the newly restored 501® jean was in huge demand. The stitched Arcuate returned to the two back pockets: stitched with a double-needle machine, it now formed a diamond shape at the point where the two lines meet. Original Levi's® zinc buttons also enjoyed a comeback. But the crotch rivet, cinch-back and suspender buttons had been put out to pasture - permanently. Instead, belt loops and concealed copper rivets became standard. Made with Red XX Selvage using Cone Mills' deep tone indigo, the color blossoms with age in the purest redcast indigo. The 1947-501® jeans continued the tradition of a big "E" on the (single-stitched) red Tab, plus the Two Horse leather patch.

    I threw my books on the bed and approached the jacket slowly as if it were a stranger’s hand I had to shake. I learned I had to keep the gross guacamole colored Jacket. But I found a new cool jacket in my bedroom closet. My confidence lead me to better grades and attitude. Better reputation or so I thought. I thought that the play ground terrorist will respect me more. I wouldn’t have been messing around with the dog if I would’ve liked the jacket. When I saw the ugly jacket he straight away hoped it was for my stupid brother. My mom yelled from the kitchen that my jacket was in the closet, so I flew to…

    Levi Strauss

    Levi Strauss & Co. is a private clothing company founded in 1853, San Francisco by Levi Strauss. The company started by selling denim overalls and is now well known for its denim jeans. Since then the company expanded to having three headquarters in San Francisco (North America), Brussels (Europe), and Singapore (Asia) with a staff totaling 8,850 people. The company experienced great growth in the 1960’s and 70’s from having 16 plants to more than 63 worldwide in a period of ten years without any use of union labor. Being known for its strong stance on human rights and being against sweatshop production, it was the strongest and best organized company in the industry. As time passed, Levi was facing more fierce competition from brands producing overseas at much cheaper prices, until it was facing declined sales forcing it to take on a multi billion dollar debt in 1996, and attempting to sell the company in 2004 after a two million dollar debt outstanding. The financial struggles Levis have encountered (2007 was the first profitable year since the debt of ’96) have put pressure on managers to ease on its “human rights-based” management which in some incidents sacrifices better profit opportunities for better human rights decisions. Although Levi Strauss has always attempted to act ethically at home and abroad, it has fallen short of its goals in some cases as it came under criticism for inhumane actions. Unless Levi’s persists in what it claims it stands for under all conditions, it will continue to come under heavy criticism.…

    According to the University of Toronto, blue jeans were originally created for the California coal miners in the mid-nineteenth century by the Morris Levi Strauss, a Bavarian immigrant who relocated to New York in 1847. Mr Strauss’ fate and the history of clothing changed forever when in 1872 he received an offer from Jacob Davis, a tailor from Reno Nevada. Mr. Davis, in order to improve the durability of the pants that he made for his clients, had been adding metal rivets to the highly stressed seams. The idea was successful and he wished to patent it, but due to financial constraints required a partner and hence Levi became the financial backer and partner. In 1873, the new partners received a patent for “an improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings”, and thus the history of blue jeans as we know them began.…

    In 1873, Jacob Davis wrote him a letter saying that he could make durable pockets with metal rivets for the pants. But Davis didn't have enough money to share his idea, so he offered to give his idea to Strauss if Strauss agreed to pay his patent. Strauss agreed, and from then on blue jeans had metal rivet pockets. Then the idea for jeans was to dye them with indigo, to make jeans blue. After that, blue jeans were considered perfect.…

    People began to want different things and styles that fit their life styles and so Levi’s strategy stopped working because they needed to fulfill the needs and wants of their customers.
