Levis Vintage 1944 501 Jeans

Levis Vintage 1944 501 Jeans,
Everything changed during World War ll. The United States goverment told all clothing manufacturers that they had to remove a certain amount of metal, fabric and thread from their garments in order to conserve these important raw materials for the war effort. Off came the watch pocket rivets, the crotch rivet and the cinch and its two rivets. A little harder to bear was the order to remove the Arcuate stitching, because it was considered 'false stitching', decorative and other terms meaning that it didn't have a function on the garment. Well LS&Co. thought it did have a function: it was one of the prime identifiers of the classic 501 jean. Rather than lose this important design, LS&Co. worked out a system to paint the Arcuate stitching on every pair of 501 jeans that came out of the factory.
