Description
On May 20th, 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis secured a patent (No. 139,121) for “an Improvement in Fastening Pocket Openings.” The West Coast at that time was a loose patchwork of farms, ranches, railroads and gold mines. Jacob Davis;a tailor from Reno, Nevada;had the idea of placing rivets on work pants at points of strain, and joined forces with his denim supplier Levi Strauss in San Francisco. The riveted blue jean was born. Soon, Levi’s® became the clothing of choice for the rugged, hodgepodge band of workers, outcasts, entrepreneurs and outlaws building America’s future. For Spring/Summer 2023, in celebration of the 150th year anniversary of this patent, we pay tribute to their innovation and collaboration. This Bay Meadows Crew Sweatshirt is an exact replica of one of our 1940s archival garments. Subtle detailing makes it stand out, like the curved seams of its raglan sleeves, the v-shaped inserts at both the front and the back, and its extra-long ribbed sleeve cuffs.
