Levis® Strauss and business partners Jacob Davis developed and patented the idea of rivets back in May 20th 1873. Levis® Vintage clothing now over 133 year old is still creating exact reproductions of original Levis® jeans wear today from back in San Francisco No. 90 Sacramento Street. Levis® Strauss became an American citizen around 1854 and in February he headed for the west coast and started establishing a small but thriving business by now. In the 50’s, 60’s Levis® jeans gained fashion status through TV and film. Not bad for a jeans company that started with supplying Levis® jeans to cowboys and miners. Today Levis® Vintage focuses on authenticity; Denim is made from historic quality salvage denim, original narrow looms and styled to exact reproductions of the earlier Levis® Strauss denim jeans.
