Product Heritage!
The XX, the oldest pair of Levi's 501 jean known, dates back to the 19th century and lives in a fireproof vault in the Levis Strauss & Co. Archives in San Francisco. Levi Strauss and his partner Jacob Davis created the first blue jan in 1873. Whoever owned the archived original still lived a life lit by candles and kerosene lamps! The XX was a pair of "waist overalls" - the clothing you wore over the your street clothes while you worked in the mines, the lumber mills or the railroad, or spent your day on a horse. It's copper-riveted durability was so new and so unique that newspapers and customer couldn't stop talking about it. "Made and cut in the style of the best custom made pants", was a typical comment. It would be another 10 years before this granddaddy would get its famous 501 lot number, but it has everything you'd expect to find in this earliest version of your favorite jeans: natural indigo 9-ounce denim, the equally soft leather patch (but without the Two Horse logo, which didn't come along until 1886), bright copper rivets, a cinch-back, four pockets and LS&Co. branded shank buttons. Everything in life has a beginning. The XX is the beginning of the blue jean, the garment that changed the way the world got dressed. The 1873 XX First Blue Jean is delivered with the indigo printed bag.
