The 501® Jean: Stories of an Original | Full Documentary

Levi's® presents The 501® Jean: Stories of an Original, a three-part documentary that celebrates the 501® Jean’s influence on popular culture.
EPISODE 1: WORK
• The 501® Goes to Work ...
We trace the 501® Jean's roots as a utilitarian garment for coal miners, cowboys, industrial workers, all the way to the creative workers who continue to wear it today.
EPISODE 2: STYLE
• Style | The 501® Jean:...
For the first time Levi’s® are worn for their look, rather than function. Hollywood stars adopt it for decades and the 501® Jean becomes a style icon: continuing to inspire contemporary designers and style leaders.
EPISODE 3: REBELLION
• Rebellion | The 501® J...
The 501® Jean is a symbol for countercultures as broad as biker clubs, punk, rap, skateboarding, and art movements. It can be seen on crowds through decades of activism: from beats to hippies, LGBTQ rights protests, to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
NARRATED BY RAMBLIN’ JACK ELLIOTT

Its a shame that a company like Levi's with such an impact on American fashion doesnt even makes its products in the US anymore, what a shame.

[@SelvedgeDenim-vm8ku]

it's about the cost of making jeans in US not comparable than the revenue

[@CrivRex]

We voted for politicians that made that happen. Clinton’s was a big factor.

[@nosehoover7605]

if you are ready to pay 300$ for a normal pair of jeans made in US, then it could be arranged...

[@corporatetool2563]

The American dream is an ivy league college degree and a white collar job. But you want to be a seamstress? Yet expect the pay of a neurosurgeon? Being American doesn't entitle us to more pay. Difficult jobs requiring education and rare skills are worth money. That's what's wrong with America. We look down upon being smart. Look at the people who hold the good jobs and degrees. Most are imported STEM workers. Since we can't do math or science. Then their kids become Americans who think nerd jobs are embarrassing.

[@braziliantvhd2768]

In 1992, The Washington Post exposed the company’s exploitation of Chinese prison labor to make jeans. Levi Strauss responded by creating a code of labor standards. But when the venerable American brand shifted all of its manufacturing overseas in 2002, laying off thousands of workers, it resorted once again to relying on labor from China, Bangladesh and nearly 50 other countries. Many of these factories, including a Levi Strauss supplier in Durango, Mexico, have been accused of violating the company’s ethical code by not allowing labor organization, forcing workers to work more than 12 hours a day and withholding overtime pay. In 2005, workers fired from the Durango supplier for organizing successfully won their jobs back, with overtime and back pay.

[@ruthmelicharles5062]

Levis is the absolute best. I bought a pair in 2008 and it's in perfect condition today. I've gained weight, so it no longer fits, but I can't give it away. I just can't.

[@drwisdom1]

This is a professionally made video, but there is a lot of hearsay like "the 501s communicated gayness". Instead of touting the greatness of Levis 501s we are introduced to many types of edgy people with the hope we will relate to some of them. I liked the duo who were searching for discarded 1800s Levis in desert mines. But that is because around 1969 I bought my first pair of 501s, that is what I have been wearing since, and I collect vintage 501s. But alas, today's 501s aren't what they used to be. Levis no longer uses the quality fabric documented in this video. Rather, the cheap denim is paper thin and rough like sandpaper. They try to cover that up with pre-fading, sanding, and adding holes. To prevent unraveling, Levis changed over to double-stitching the back pockets over 40 years ago. Knowing today's 501s won't last, Levis went back to single stitching to save thread. In addition, the fit is poor, sizing is inconsistent, many flaws make it through quality control, the price has escalated too much, and 501s can no longer be used for working. Luckily, I have enough pre-2000 US made 501xx jeans to take care of my needs. Levis needs to get back to its roots instead of continuing to cheapen its product. The first most important thing is to go back to using quality denim. Just because the Red Tab always indicated quality doesn't mean you can stitch a Red Tab on to something and it magically gets quality. 501s were perfected decades ago. Levis doesn't have to figure anything out, all they have to do is duplicate. I don't remember where, but I once read that back before denim was delivered in huge rolls, it came in rectangles. The edges were finished to prevent unraveling and they included a colored thread to indicate the weight of the fabric. Red was the edge thread color of the heavyweight denim that was used to manufacture 501 jeans. Whereas, this video says the colored thread is there solely to indicate quality.

[@BlueHopi144]

totally spot on yeah

"This is a professionally made video, but there is a lot of hearsay like "the 501s communicated gayness". Instead of touting the greatness of Levis 501s we are introduced to many types of edgy people with the hope we will relate to some of them." If you look up the guy's article and read the captions he wrote on the jeans photos, the caption reads seriously, but the ending few sentences are usually something like: "But this item is also frequently worn by janitors, construction workers, maitenance etc. so it may not be a 100% indicator of gayness." My take away from the article is that he was being tongue in cheek about the matter and making fun of people who thought there was some obvious way for us to know who "the gays" were so they could be avoided. Levis just failed to communicate the fact that his article was a parody in this video.

[@chuy8356]

501's my favorite and only Levi's kind of jeans I've ever worn. The fit and softness of the jeans after breaking them in is umatched.

[@gmlasam]

I've been wear Levis since I was in grade school, as far as I can remember. It was Levis and Toughskins back then, 60s. So, I've been wear Levis for about 50 years and I have seen the changes with the 501 over the years. In fact, I still have a few pairs of 501s from the 70s and 80s that are in great condition. A few have that red line in the inner leg seams. Back then the 501 shrink to fit jeans were stiff as an iron board when you purchased them and you had to wash them several times in hot water just to get them to fit right. These work clothes back then. They weren't fashion jeans, these were real men jeans. Now, they aren't what they use to be....they are made cheaper, not last as long as what they use to. I bet you will not see levis jeans made today lasting 20 years. They were made in USA... Certainly, not the Levis that I remember from grade school

Back in the late 1970's the Regency Square Mall was built and opened in Florence ,Alabama. During the late 1970's thru all the 1990's I bought most all my clothes from Castner Knott's. They'd run their straight leg, zipper Levi Jeans for $12.99, all made in the U.S.A. and I bought so many pairs from$12.99 too. Eventually the sale price rose to $15.99. When I got old I bought Docker Jeans from J.C. Penney's on sale in that same mall. Docker's was a Levi brand. They no longer make the pleated front Docker Blue Jeans.

I had never owned a pair of Levi’s until the last few years and now I wear nothing but Levi jeans.

You guys need to bring your production back to the states, I'm not even concerned about the quality, I've never had ANY problems with quality control post-globalization. I just would love to own a pair made in the US that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to buy. We're all rooting for you.

My favourite jeans

[@colmcgillveray1010]

Aw, all the love...and you shut them down.

[@MrClaudeholmes]

Love my 501's, There're like no other jeans in the world. Made to adapt to the individual's body type - self tailoring jeans. These classic - timeless - babies can be worn for unlimited use, time & place , and gets only better time and wear characteristically *

[@Lumber1guy]

7:44 "all classics were born out of utility" ❤❤ pretty much sums it up

[@TheStomendy]

Just ordered a pair of 1955 501s. I’m a 31 so I went with a 32; so excited for the pants to come in. When they do arrive I’ll give details.

[@dominickfulco]

Paul Rodriguez how are they now?

[@ColeMatthewsOfficial]

I’d love to see a day in the life of a worker from a Levi factory… hopefully they are being treated okay

[@user-tq3xw7rq7c]

Levis is ethical, I'm sure they treated their emoloyees fair. Unlike Fast fashion brands.

After World War II. and 6 years at a Russian prison camp granddad finally came home. They received some aid shipments from the USA with a pair of jeans. Someone told him that people wear jeans in the US prisons too and for that reason he never wore them anymore. They ended up as oil rags. Every time he told this story he said he wore prison pants for 6 years, he won't wear them again.

The best jean ever!! i have two pairs that have maybe 15 years!!

[@PD-gt7on]

Lived in mine today. Respect.

[@bani_m]

I have used it from my youth until now .

[@sam-i-am1774]

I love my Levi's so much I live in them, all I wear is Levi's pair them with my Chelsea's and boom!! feel like a rock star, but for a slim guy like me 501's are just too big I have a runner physique so the 511's just fit me the best.

[@D3C0Y]

I only wear Levi's.

[@mariasmith2198]

I have Levi's from Goodwill I cherish and baby along. I have new Levi's in many styles, but yeah, I love Levi's, and prefer them to any other style, and for men, they should be in 501's, and nothing else.

[@riddler2012]

Decoy same

[@nedks11]

[@riddler2012]

Decoy 527

[@danielperry5908]

Could care less about what anyone else says, but although I absolutely respect Levi's® history and own quite a few pair, nothing looks better in me than Wrangler® Jeans!
