Levi Strauss immigrated to New York from Germany in 1847. In 1853, this Jew who was engaged in canvas business took advantage of the California gold rush to go to San Francisco. He made hundreds of pairs of trousers from a batch of unsalable canvas and took them to gold mining sites to sell them. Unexpectedly, they were very popular among gold diggers.
In 1855, Strauss abandoned canvas and instead used a strong and wear-resistant indigo denim to make overalls, and used copper nails to reinforce the pockets and seams. This kind of sturdy and beautiful trousers quickly became popular in the market, and a large number of orders came in. Strauss used his own name, Levi's, as a product brand and opened his first store in San Francisco.
In 1873, Strauss obtained a registered patent for trousers with seams fixed with rivets. In 1890, Levi’s coded jeans for the first time, and the world-famous 501 was its first jeans model. Starting in 1936, Levi’s began to sew a small red flag with the word “LEVI’S” on the back trouser pocket, which became its future brand mark. In 1954, Levi’s jeans discontinued leather labels and began using paper labels. In 1974, the company began producing a series of washed jeans, and in 1986 it introduced pre-frayed jeans. The 501 pants type is the most classic of Levi’s jeans, and it is also the oldest and best-selling jeans product. It is the first choice for collectors. It is said that a pair of 501 jeans made between 1886 and 1902 sold for a sky-high price of US$25,000 in 1997. 501 has a simple design, with a straight mid-waist cut and button-type design. The hip position is not completely close to the body, making it loose and comfortable to wear.
Levi’s jeans are very well made, their buttons will never rust and their stitching is very dense. As early as 1886, Levi's tied two legs of a pair of jeans to two horses and drove the horses in opposite directions to prove that the pants could withstand extremely strong tearing. Since 1937, Levi’s has launched new products every year. While retaining details such as the classic silhouette and Levi's iconic red flag, leather (paper) tags on the back of the pants, double rows of curved stitching on the back pockets, and copper studs, the wash effect of the jeans will follow the trend every year. And change.
After World War II, Levi’s jeans became popular around the world. In the late 1940s, the brand's sales were only $8 million. By 1978, sales had exceeded $2 billion, and its product line had expanded to include other ready-to-wear clothing besides denim. In 1980, Levi’s sold its 500 millionth pair of jeans. As the "originator" of jeans, Levi's symbolizes the pioneering spirit of the American West. After a century and a half, it has become popular from the United States to the world, and has become a fashion acceptable to men, women, and children all over the world. In the past 20 years, Levi Strauss, which produces Levi’s clothing, has become a large multinational company active on the world stage. In 2001, Levi’s entered mainland China and opened its first store in Shanghai.
LEVI\'SR is one of the most famous names from the American West. It is also the name of Levi Strauss, the inventor of the world's first pair of jeans. Levi Strauss immigrated to New York from Germany in 1847 at the age of seventeen. Speaking almost no English, he spent his first few years in the United States working for his two older brothers. He sells fabrics and household items everywhere in remote towns and villages around New York and KFC. He sometimes even sleeps on the roadside or in an empty garage. The young Strauss was so fascinated by the news of the California Gold Rush that he took a ship and sailed to San Francisco in 1853. He brought several rolls of canvas for tents and caravans to sell to the rapidly increasing number of residents.
But he found a better use for canvas when an old gold digger said he should sell trousers that could withstand the rough use of gold digging. So he sent the unsold canvas to a tailor and ordered the first Levi\'s jeans. On that day, the legend of Levi\'sR was born. People spread the word about these tough jeans. The young Strauss soon opened his first store in San Francisco. He makes many waist-length leggings. Later, he abandoned canvas and switched to denim, a strong cotton fabric woven in France with color-fast indigo dye. Strauss made many improvements to the original design from 1860 to 1940, including rivets, an arched double horse guarantee leather label and a small back pocket flag, which are now the world-famous authentic Levi's jeans logo. . Levi Strauss Company has indeed become an American tradition. To people all over the world, it represents the pioneering power and spirit of the West.

Distinguish the authenticity of Levis (Levis):
A friend mentioned in other posts that there are Levis logos on the zippers of several Levis pants. But that doesn’t mean that all Levi’s zippers have the Levi’s logo on them. I have no specific statistics on which zippers have the Levis logo and which zippers have the YKK logo. But there are also fake ykk ones. Lee’s jeans at the back are more authentic. I will show the difference between real and fake ykk zippers.
Levis’ orange tab. The more common one is red tab, and there is a comparison of real and fake red tab at the back. In this picture, you can see the overlocking edge of the Levis logo, while the edges of the fake tab are uneven and there is no overlocking edge.
The iconic pattern on the Levis pocket has slightly different arcs depending on the style.
The big button on Levi's pants is made of brass. It has been worn for a long time, but there are almost no scratches. This is thanks to the properties of brass material - ductility and wear resistance.
The pocket seams on the back of Levis pants are double threaded (zipper threads), while the fake pants are made of single threaded rivets on the inside of the pants. It is a standard brass material and will not be shiny. Rather, it is darker in color and very thick. Fake trousers are a thin piece, some have no threads for texture, some have threads for texture, but they are very bright and secure. The rivet part on the reverse side of the trousers button has the same number as the wash mark. The fake ones don’t have the zipper line on the back pocket of the pants. The rivets on the pants are genuine. The rivets on the pockets of genuine YKK pants. The big button on the reverse side of the lee. The pattern on the lee pocket. You can see the difference between lee and other jeans. It is marked with a red line below. The two pocket corners are arcs, not a 5-sided shape with ripples and corners.
You should be able to tell by yourself that the fake lee is posted here and there is nothing on the pocket, which is too much. . .
Please compare the fake ykk with the ykk in the first lee picture. You can see that the materials and workmanship are quite different.
Pant pocket rivets are in turn without spiral texture.
Lee's buttons have obvious scratches, and the material is not as thick as the real thing.
To add,
1. The inside of the genuine evis back pocket is multi-threaded and spirally sewn,
2. The red flag is very delicate, although it has been washed with stone The worn trousers red flag watch looks a little wrinkled, but the color is still very bright under the light, and the words "LEVI\'S" are highlighted under the light. The material should be made of silk, with spiral edges at the top and bottom< /p>
3. The effect of water-washed stone grinding looks absolutely natural, and the visual effect is amazing! (Points 2 and 3 can only be improved by seeing more and comparing more)
4. High-end LEVI\'S (such as: REDLOOP series, or some global limited editions), especially models that require repeated washing and stone grinding, are used to weave the basic material of this kind of denim fabric------cotton thread , is a special cotton thread. The spin-spun cotton thread has been looped, because the cotton thread has been looped to withstand repeated washing and stone grinding, and is not easy to loosen, shrink, and deform. (You can start from the inside of the pants. Take it out from the overcoat and examine it carefully. If you use a red-eared overcoat, you can't take it out. Maybe you can get it from the back pocket, haha). If you try to unscrew this kind of cotton thread in the opposite direction, it's impossible because every other thread on the cotton thread is There are thin cotton threads tying the cotton loops at a distance of about 0.5CM.)
Actually, Asia’s LEVIS daily singles are the king, and they are absolutely exquisite. I don’t know much about those in the United States and Europe,
< p>So, famous brands have high profits, but the materials and workmanship are not foolproof.
