Legendary Levi's men's jeans

Beloved by many, Levi's gins were originally created for miners and other workers, did you know? Levi Strauss, who moved to America in the 40s of the XIX century, drew attention to the fact that the clothes of the workers were sewn from low-quality and impractical fabrics that could not withstand constant loads. He decided to rectify the situation. The result was a company founded in 1853, which currently has a multimillion-dollar turnover.

In this article, we'll take a look at Levi's men's jeans that have become classics in the clothing market these days.

A feature of Levi's men's jeans is their high quality. The strength of the material used for their sewing is very high, which was one of the reasons why they gained such popularity. The company sews many different models for different body types, so whatever the build you have, you can easily find “your” jeans that will fit you perfectly.

The company sews several lines of clothing. Not all of them are made in America. Levi's has factories in Latin America as well as in Europe. In the American market, jeans of this brand are not of such interest and are sold in ordinary stores, they can be found even at discounts. In Europe, however, these are goods at an above average price, so they are sold mainly in boutiques.

Jeans are divided into lines, among which you will find various styles and models. Each line has its own distinctive features, knowing about which they can be easily distinguished. Among them you can find regular wide jeans, tight-fitting jeans, ripped jeans, classic models and many others. All of them are distinguished by their durability and excellent quality, which has not changed for more than 100 years.

The most common line is Red Tab (these are classic models 501, 505, 517 and others). It is produced primarily in Latin America. Among these models you will find both classic jeans, flared jeans and corduroy jeans.

The jeans of this line are much cheaper than the others. In America, the price tag for them does not exceed $ 50, so they are more likely to be treated as a mass market. In Europe, the price tag for them is often overpriced. All of them have excellent patterns that the company uses when sewing, so the jeans fit perfectly and remain at the peak of popularity.

Red tab also sewn in Europe. Models may differ slightly in style, for example, the 501 for men has a more modern look, they are narrower than the "American" ones, and the jeans belt is slightly lower.

Limited line for sale in America only - SilverTab. Its price segment is the same as that of RedTab. You can find such jeans only in America, they are not produced for other countries. Having released this line, the company made an attempt to conquer a youth audience. They are quite spacious, with flaps in the back pockets.

A range for those who care about the environment - GreenTab. For the production of such jeans, materials are used that meet the requirements of environmental friendliness. These are usually organic cotton and processed denim. As a rule, these are summer and very light jeans.

Levi's Capital E - trendy jeans that resemble old models. This line can be called a tribute to the tradition that the company decided to give to the fashion of the twentieth century. Thanks to their modern cut, they have an excellent fit. You can often find models that include elastane. Each pair costs over $ 100 due to the very good quality, but they are mainly found only in America.

Levi's Engineered - European line of jeans, which has a very peculiar cut.Irregularly shaped youth models are not sold practically anywhere except in the European eBay sector. Distinctive features of the series are asymmetric seams and irregularly shaped parts. These are the first jeans in which a twist is provided with a special cut.

Another limited line - OrangeTab... These jeans are quite expensive - their price can exceed 100 euros. The models are very close to those that were produced in the 60s and 70s.

Ruler Levi's Vintage Clothing represented in both the European and American markets. LVC are the original models that were on sale a hundred years ago. This line includes jeans that have been recreated from the archives of the company. Individual parts of the models have been slightly modified to meet modern requirements. For example, belt loops appeared in some models, since even the most avid fashionistas and history buffs are not ready to constantly wear suspenders for trousers.

Levi's 501 - the main model of the brand, which is sewn in several variations. Its classic version is presented in the RedTab linewhich has a modern silhouette. Its characteristic features are a fit just below the waist, a straight fit and a simple silhouette, they do not taper downwards, and most importantly, they have a fastener with metal buttons and five pockets.

501 ct (until 2017, this model was called the 501T) - a variation of the classic 501, but with a taper on the lower leg. Several variations of this model can be found in the Levi's Vintage Clothing collection.

For example, 501 1922 - recreation of the work pants that this model originally was. They are spacious and have a bolt-on fastening. They have both belt loops and fastenings for suspenders, on which such pants were previously held instead of belts.

Without these surpluses, model 501 1947... The rivets on her pockets are hidden. They are less loose and have a more modern cut.

1954 501Z (505) - the first model with a zipper instead of metal buttons.

One of the most requested variations - jeans 501 1966... Their legs are rather narrow, so now they are in great demand.

Levi's 511 - one of the most form-fitting along the entire length, but not restricting movement of the model. It is a classic model with five pockets and a zip fastening. They have a fit below the waist and tapered legs. The fabric contains not only jeans, but also synthetics. As a rule, they are small in size, so it is difficult to choose them without trying them on.

Levi's 502 - casual jeans with five pockets for daily wear. The legs are narrowed at the bottom, so they have a popular and pleasant silhouette with an average fit. Elastane is added to the fabric for elasticity.

The signature color of Levi's men's jeans can be called indigo, which was originally used by Levi Strauss, getting it from vegetable dyes. The company is experimenting with the time it takes to soak things in a dye solution, resulting in many shades of blue.

On jeans you can find the inscription "Stonewash" - which means the dyeing method when the fabric is washed with pumice stone. This gives it a faded color and leaves the fabric slightly worn.

Another technology - sandwash Is a wash with sand. She brings jeans to a very worn look, sometimes with holes in the fabric.

Bleached - making jeans of a very light color by washing with bleach.

Rinsewashed - jeans that have a normal saturated color.

Any denim product stretches as it is worn, so keep this in mind when exploring the sizing chart. Some models of the brand can be frankly small in size, so it is important not only to determine the size, but also to try on the product before buying.

To choose the right model of pants, you need to have the correct idea of ​​your figure, as well as its features that you need to consider when buying. Some people fit jeans with a high rise, while others, on the contrary, with a low rise. If you have a slender figure, you have no restrictions on the choice of style, however, having curvaceous forms, it is better to turn to the classics of a dark color.

Having studied the table and the lineup, no one usually has problems with choosing the right jeans. But if you have doubts about originality, you need to study the information on jeans. Most of the pants are not made in the USA (with rare exceptions), but in Latin America or Turkey. The company also has production facilities in Portugal. If the jeans you buy in Europe have a label saying they are made in the USA, then this is a fake.

Models with a zipper can be distinguished from a fake as follows: the manufacturer must be indicated on the zipper itself. Levi's use YKK zippers. However, cases are allowed when this name is not indicated.

The company produces tons of clothes that go well with original jeans.

A woven or woolen jacket, shirts and jumpers with a round neck, hoodies and sweatshirts are perfect for the classics. For a casual look, white T-shirts under a jacket or shirts under a sweater are ideal.

Jeans look good in combination with a woolen coat or leather jacket. Can also be paired with a matching denim jacket and checked shirt.

The classic 501 model is perfect for a daily and business look. It will suit any type of figure when choosing the right size.

The 502 men's jeans look very modern and fresh. The cuddly silhouette matches almost any outfit you choose.

Model 511 is suitable for modern business men. It does not embarrass and does not cause discomfort when worn.
