ABOUT THIS STYLE
The year was 1947 and although the war had ended, the nation was much changed—and so were our 501® Jeans. The end of rations allowed for the return of some familiar 501® features, like the watch pocket rivets. But it also ushered in some updates in response to the changing time and emerging middle class, like a modern, slimmer fit and the removal of extraneous details like the cinch and suspender buttons.
- And while the back pocket arcuate was no longer applied with paint as it was during the war, it had certainly changed. Thanks to new double-needle technology, the famed double-arched stitch could be mass-produced in uniform size and design, no longer subject to the sewing skills of the individual worker.
- Today, we reproduce all of these details for these 1947 501® Jeans using the same 12 oz. red line selvedge denim.
- An archival reproduction of our 1947 501® Jeans
- Designed with a post-war, slimmer fit
- Made with watch pocket rivets for the first time since the start of the war
- Features uniform arcuates on the back pockets, facilitated by double-needle technology
- Constructed with two back pockets and concealed rivets
- This selvedge denim is woven on a traditional shuttle loom, which gives these jeans a tighter weave for extra durability and creates the crisp, finished edge that sets them apart from the rest.
