Levi’s 501XX 1947s

Chief snoop presents my unbagging and review of the LVC 1947 501XX Jeans. One of my all time favorite pairs. Enjoy!
To the owner of this 501® Jean,
When World War II ended and raw materials were available again, Levi Strauss & Co. leaped back into heavy production to meet the growing postwar demand. Slimmer fitting, with no extra details like the cinch or suspender buttons, this was a jean that was ready for the changing times.
The watch pocket rivets came back after their wartime hiatus, and the Arcuate was stitched on the back pockets after having been applied with paint throughout the war.
But it came back in different form: double needle thanks to new, technology, the famed double-arch stitch was now uniform in size hand design, no longer subject to the skill of the individual sewing machine operator using a single needle machine.
The red selvedge Cone Mills denim was still the bedrock of the jean,as it had been for nearly
two decades. By the the end of the 1940s, Levi's® jeans were aimed at the new, emerging middle class.
The 1947 501 Jean was the jean of a new generation.
