Crafted with precision and infused with post-war style, these jeans offer a modern, slimmer fit while preserving iconic features like watch pocket rivets. Made from 12 oz. red line selvedge denim, the jeans exhibit uniform arcuates on the back pockets, made possible by double-needle technology. Perfect for any vintage enthusiast, these jeans seamlessly blend history with contemporary style. From the brand: 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 and a reflection of the changing timesDesigned with a post-war, slimmer fitMade with watch pocket rivets for the first time since the start of the warFeatures uniform arcuates on the back pockets, facilitated by double-needle technologyConstructed with two back pockets with concealed rivets
