Levi’s® Icons Although the Levi’s® 501® is arguably the most important garment of the modern age, Levi Strauss and Company is also responsible for introducing or popularizing a series of other iconic pieces of clothing throughout the last two centuries. Each season, Levi’s® Vintage Clothing offers a selection of the most notorious of these “Icons”, reproducing fits, fabrics and details of the original garments found in the Levi’s® Archives. Of special interest from the Fall/Winter 2013 are: µ 1967 Type III Trucker Jacket: Popularly known as the “Trucker Jacket,” this season it is offered in an Olive Bedford µ 1950s Sportswear Tee: Popularized by Marlon Brando, this season it is offered in a Honey colorway µ 1978 501® Jean: This sulfur infused denim is offered in a ‘Twotimes’ wash The Historic 501® Since introducing the iconic riveted denim jean over a centu- ry ago, Levi’s® has been refining the fit, fabric and features of the 501® in response to each succeeding era. Sometimes subtle and only apparent to a discerning eye, the differences between each of the historic 501s® help tell the story of the Levi’s® brand and the ever-evolving landscape of the Ameri- can frontier. Levi’s® Vintage Clothing reproduces each of the most historically significant 501s® from the past 123 years exactly as they were when they were first introduced.
