Everything changed during World War II: the American media, the world of workers and even the jeans they wore. In order to preserve raw materials for the war, the United States government required all clothing manufacturers to remove a certain amount of metal, fabric, and thread from their garments. So went the watch pocket rivets, the crotch rivet and the strap along with its two rivets and instead the standard bay leaf buttons were introduced. But one rationing order was harder to sustain: the order to remove the curved seams that differentiated Levi's® jeans from others. Rather than lose the iconic arch, Levi's® developed a system to print the arched design on every pair of 501® jeans that left the factory. And although the paint faded over time, the most important thing was that the stitching was visible at the time of purchase. Today, we've recreated this historic piece, our 501® 1944 Jean, in rigid selvage denim. An archive reproduction of our 501® jeans from 1944 Made without rivets on the watch pocket, rivet on the crotch and on the back strap to save raw materials for the war effort. And with the iconic bow painted on the back pocket as a response to rationing True to the original, it features different materials, unbranded rivets and standard unbranded fabric buttons with a laurel leaf design Two back pockets with hidden rivets
