Three things Levi's best skinny tapered denim " 510 " has to offer

Levi’s offers a wide variety of jeans, but the ” 510 ” is the slimmest silhouette among them. While the jeans are super slim with a strong taper to the hem, the stretch material ensures a comfortable fit. In this issue, we focus on the Levi’s “510” and introduce its charms!

What is ” Levi’s “, the originator of all jeans?

In 1853, Levi Strauss founded the ” Levi Strauss Company,” a general store and fabric merchant in San Francisco, which is the origin of the current Levi’s. Levi Strauss, who came to the United States as an immigrant from Germany during the gold rush, listened to the opinions of gold miners and commercialized work pants made of canvas fabric used for tents and ship sails. Later, the company changed from canvas to denim fabric in response to the workers’ need for “pants that would not tear even in the harshest working conditions. In addition, based on the idea of Jacob Davis, a tailor, the pockets were reinforced with rivets to increase their strength. Indigo blue, the standard color for denim today, was dyed to repel insects and snakes (although it was later discovered that it had no such effect). The world’s first jeans thus created already had the same specifications as today’s jeans.

Find Levi’s Jeans

Levi’s jeans are known for their three-digit lot numbers, but the first lot number, ” 501 “, was assigned in 1890. At this time, belts were not yet in common use, and instead of belt loops, they were equipped with straps, buckles, and buttons for suspenders. Originally, 501s were only sold in the western United States until the mid-1950s, but as awareness of the brand grew, sales channels expanded. The silhouette and specifications were updated, and new lot numbers were produced one after another. Eventually, jeans transcended the framework of work clothes and became a fashion item. While various manufacturers around the world were producing jeans, Levi’s showed its presence as a pioneer by producing products with a high degree of perfection.
