- Levi's® presents The 501® Jean: Stories of an Original, a three-part documentary that celebrates the 501® Jean’s influence on popular culture.
EPISODE 1: WORK
• The 501® Goes to Work ...
We trace the 501® Jean's roots as a utilitarian garment for coal miners, cowboys, industrial workers, all the way to the creative workers who continue to wear it today.
EPISODE 2: STYLE
• Style | The 501® Jean:...
For the first time Levi’s® are worn for their look, rather than function. Hollywood stars adopt it for decades and the 501® Jean becomes a style icon: continuing to inspire contemporary designers and style leaders.
EPISODE 3: REBELLION
• Rebellion | The 501® J...
The 501® Jean is a symbol for countercultures as broad as biker clubs, punk, rap, skateboarding, and art movements. It can be seen on crowds through decades of activism: from beats to hippies, LGBTQ rights protests, to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Its a shame that a company like Levi's with such an impact on American fashion doesnt even makes its products in the US anymore, what a shame.
it's about the cost of making jeans in US not comparable than the revenue
We voted for politicians that made that happen. Clinton’s was a big factor.
if you are ready to pay 300$ for a normal pair of jeans made in US, then it could be arranged...
The American dream is an ivy league college degree and a white collar job. But you want to be a seamstress? Yet expect the pay of a neurosurgeon?
Being American doesn't entitle us to more pay. Difficult jobs requiring education and rare skills are worth money. That's what's wrong with America. We look down upon being smart.
Look at the people who hold the good jobs and degrees. Most are imported STEM workers. Since we can't do math or science. Then their kids become Americans who think nerd jobs are embarrassing.
@@nosehoover7605Dearborn denim, made in Chicago by labor paid 15 dollars an hour or more.
$70 same as a pair of Levi’s.
Look them up.
Make them in the U.S.A. again Levi's!!!...and not just the tease with your USA made line...can't ever find my size online :-(
I live in The Netherlands and I could find a LVC 501, Conemills made in the U.S.A. within 2 secs. on the Levi's website. What's the problem?
I wear Levi jeans, but not shirts as they don't go above 2xl,and their 2xl is small, plus way too expensive.. Much nicer denim shirts out there.
@@guyincognito215 Lose weight
loose weight buddy - stop wining about their sizes
@@BlueHopi144 good reply , i can tell you're an inteligent person.
In 1992, The Washington Post exposed the company’s exploitation of Chinese prison labor to make jeans. Levi Strauss responded by creating a code of labor standards. But when the venerable American brand shifted all of its manufacturing overseas in 2002, laying off thousands of workers, it resorted once again to relying on labor from China, Bangladesh and nearly 50 other countries. Many of these factories, including a Levi Strauss supplier in Durango, Mexico, have been accused of violating the company’s ethical code by not allowing labor organization, forcing workers to work more than 12 hours a day and withholding overtime pay. In 2005, workers fired from the Durango supplier for organizing successfully won their jobs back, with overtime and back pay.
Sad truth....
BrazilianTVHD exactly !! You can’t get more American that that lol...
Levis is disgraceful. Wouldnt surprise me if they have a 50% profit margin on production and sale. The average worker in bangladesh makes $50 a year.
Porque. Uno. S. Oye. Porque. No. Time. Sonido
That’s why i went with the swedish brand ‘Nudie Jeans Co’. They are super sustainable and trace every part of their jean from source to production. Workers are paid high, you have italian workers too. All the materials are high quality.
Those older gentleman have such a beautiful "old time" southern accent, non-rhotic "R" sounds & all, sadly it's dying out very quickly
i can guarantee you all the people at Cone mills are good people!! i know Mike Roberson personally. hes now retired but dosent hesitate to tell us the stories about them coming in to record this video. hes 70 now.
and he still loves to sing!!!
as soon as i heard him sing i liked the video and subscribed
Jarrod Swick yeah, Levis keep it going for marketing, a museum. What % is made in the U.S.?
I live right up the road from cone mills in Greensboro
And now they killed cone mills, it’s just a shame
First time I saw jeans, I was hooked. When I put them on, I was in heaven. Still wearing'em - lots of 'em. Love my 501s!
This is a professionally made video, but there is a lot of hearsay like "the 501s communicated gayness". Instead of touting the greatness of Levis 501s we are introduced to many types of edgy people with the hope we will relate to some of them.
I liked the duo who were searching for discarded 1800s Levis in desert mines. But that is because around 1969 I bought my first pair of 501s, that is what I have been wearing since, and I collect vintage 501s. But alas, today's 501s aren't what they used to be. Levis no longer uses the quality fabric documented in this video. Rather, the cheap denim is paper thin and rough like sandpaper. They try to cover that up with pre-fading, sanding, and adding holes. To prevent unraveling, Levis changed over to double-stitching the back pockets over 40 years ago. Knowing today's 501s won't last, Levis went back to single stitching to save thread. In addition, the fit is poor, sizing is inconsistent, many flaws make it through quality control, the price has escalated too much, and 501s can no longer be used for working. Luckily, I have enough pre-2000 US made 501xx jeans to take care of my needs.
Levis needs to get back to its roots instead of continuing to cheapen its product. The first most important thing is to go back to using quality denim. Just because the Red Tab always indicated quality doesn't mean you can stitch a Red Tab on to something and it magically gets quality. 501s were perfected decades ago. Levis doesn't have to figure anything out, all they have to do is duplicate.
I don't remember where, but I once read that back before denim was delivered in huge rolls, it came in rectangles. The edges were finished to prevent unraveling and they included a colored thread to indicate the weight of the fabric. Red was the edge thread color of the heavyweight denim that was used to manufacture 501 jeans. Whereas, this video says the colored thread is there solely to indicate quality.
totally spot on yeah
drwisdom1 What weight should I look for?
drwisdom1 ok boomer
I think you've misunderstood the meaning of capitalism, Levis are never going back to how they were, now that the company's making money that's it.
"This is a professionally made video, but there is a lot of hearsay like "the 501s communicated gayness". Instead of touting the greatness of Levis 501s we are introduced to many types of edgy people with the hope we will relate to some of them."
If you look up the guy's article and read the captions he wrote on the jeans photos, the caption reads seriously, but the ending few sentences are usually something like: "But this item is also frequently worn by janitors, construction workers, maitenance etc. so it may not be a 100% indicator of gayness."
My take away from the article is that he was being tongue in cheek about the matter and making fun of people who thought there was some obvious way for us to know who "the gays" were so they could be avoided.
Levis just failed to communicate the fact that his article was a parody in this video.
I always always love Levi’s and no matter how many jeans and denim brands that come out and even though I owned dozens of designer jeans, my loyalty to Levi’s never fade. I’ve been collecting Levi’s for 25 years now mostly vintage.
Levi sheep mindset
I buy all my Levis at good will, salvation army and thrift stores. I have only destroyed one pair in 30 years. best damned jeans for the money.
They used to be the best and most durable jeans, but now you have to go to a thrift store to find the older better quality ones.
Thrift stores sell them like new. So expensive.
Goodwill USD 10, New from Nordstrom Rack 39. and i agree, old ones last forever.
Nice mate
I believe. I tried Kohl's tonight
All they got are the ass hanging out soy boy pants.for $75 pathetic
Levi's® presents The 501® Jean: are perfect, to all the people...beautiful video, great History

Thanks to Levi Strauss & Co. for producing this video. My family was involved in the denim manufacturing industry for many decades, and I worked in a cotton mill from my 16th birthday until I graduated from college six years later. There are still family members and friends working at Mt. Vernon Mill in Trion, Georgia. I enjoy watching this video periodically.
Thanks for the info I've been researching my family history and I'm fairly sure I'm related to the Haas family in Atlanta but but I haven't found any in other parts of Georgia yet this gives me a new place to search!
3:32... had no idea miners liked short Jean shorts. Some things never change.
you're joking right
You’re an idiot
Good one😆
I wear 501 everywhere. Office, Clubs, Wedding... name it, its there. I really want one during teenage years but couldn’t afford one back then, so its like a sweet revenge to working my ass off and putting 501 on it and be proud of it
My son just bought his first pair of Levi 501s. He wears them proudly as he too was born in San Francisco, CA. A perfect match!
I have been a 501 guy since the first jeans I bought back in 1980.
Yet the last pair of true Made In USA 501s I found was in New-York City in 1998.
The film doesn't mention that. I wonder what those employees think or it.
i spent my adolescence in the decade of the 80s using 501 and 505, the quality was noticeable.. ¡they were amazing pants!, i do not even enter any levi store because i know i will be disappointed. i have several originals made in u.s.a. that cost me a lot to get and i take care of them a lot.
Found some selvedge 501 made in the USA in store just last year, but I don't think people bought them because they were expensive. US labour just costs more
For decades Levi, Wrangler, and Lee have been the top 3 brands for affordable jeans under $100. I love Wrangler because they always felt the most comfortable and have a rugged cowboy look. I also like Lee as a second choice.
Under 50
As someone who spends every day striving to deliver clients world class content, this is a high water mark.
I love Levi's
Ive rewatched this many times through the 2 years its been out, and my god is this a beautiful documentry. It deserves so much more recognition.
I wish it was longer
Might want to read comment above of how the company has changed and has shameful labor practices since it took production overseas 20 years ago.... 😔
@geewiz8253 all your great companies use shameful labor practices, Apple, Nike, etc. Everything in your house was made in China, or Mexico.
would like to see 20 or 30 minutes on those boys going down the mines looking for denim.
I’ve bought my very first in its entirety 501 today. It’s been 50yrs that I’m trying them on first time. Just needed to check out the whole fuss.
Levi's is a lifestyle to many people. When I wear Levi's, I feel confident, bold & striking. It's the one clothing brand I stand proud of.
Just like Harley Davidson..Lol...Not as good as many years ago..
It's one of my favorite Jean company
Could someone please tell me which is the most resistant Levi's model?

I've been wear Levis since I was in grade school, as far as I can remember. It was Levis and Toughskins back then, 60s. So, I've been wear Levis for about 50 years and I have seen the changes with the 501 over the years. In fact, I still have a few pairs of 501s from the 70s and 80s that are in great condition. A few have that red line in the inner leg seams. Back then the 501 shrink to fit jeans were stiff as an iron board when you purchased them and you had to wash them several times in hot water just to get them to fit right. These work clothes back then. They weren't fashion jeans, these were real men jeans. Now, they aren't what they use to be....they are made cheaper, not last as long as what they use to. I bet you will not see levis jeans made today lasting 20 years. They were made in USA... Certainly, not the Levis that I remember from grade school
Brings back memories, Especially for anyone who still fortunate to still own & wear their jeans that long is now considered as ( vintage jeans ) . The real deal , Priceless*****
Omg toughskin!! I remember just bending over in those things! It was so hard
gmlasam fortunately we can still buy made in USA Levi’s, it’ll take a couple of searches to try and find them. But yeah, outsourcing is a shame. I’m wearing 501 made in USA Levi’s right now. (I’m 17) I still have my dad’s old pair from the 1970’s, not a single rip. Been wearing them for 4 years so far, but I recently bought a new pair, as I mentioned earlier.
You're right! Besides now they're Stretch! Can You believe it? (i hate Stretch, so....)
Modern Levis are not as good anymore. The only thing they're good for now is for you to sit in the water while wearing them. That way they'll get wet and sag down as you stand and walk, revealing your damp boxer briefs clinging comfortably to your buttocks. Now that's some good Levis-ing.
But Levi’s are not made in the USA anymore. So I stopped buying them. There are USA made jeans, find them.
we are proud work at levis :)
I love my Levis. They've been places and done stuff.
Wearing 501s since 1961. I look better in my 501s than most guys look in a suit.
yes g
most people don’t really know how to wear clothes in general these days so its nothing new.
I bought my first pair of 501's with my first salary at 16. I'm still buying them at 77.
I bought my first Levi’s 501 at Ross for 30 bucks can’t believe it
Have LOVED Levi’s since my first pair over 50 years ago!! Yes, I’m a woman but LOVE the fit and feel of the men’s jeans! Have never worn a pair out but have “outgrown “ a few😂
I wear men's Levis too! They sit comfortably on the hips
Levi’s are garbage compared to what they were prior to 1975 ..
Pre 1975 we’re thick heavy and tough ..
It would take you months to get them broken in
and months after that to get them to fade ..
Now with Levi’s uses a loose weave process that lightens
up the denim quite a bit ..
In essence they come broken in already ..
Pre 75 jeans almost never wore out ..
I had mine from high school through the military and
through college and they never wore out !.
And that was the problem , they never wore out under casual use !.
The 60s and 70s were the decades when companies changed
and started building a specific life into there products ..
I couldn’t get more than four years MAX out of a pair of Levi’s
and most of the time they fell apart within three years ..
Levi’s are girls jeans now ..... GARBAGE !.
Look up Levi’s quality on the internet , nothing but stories about how bad they are ..
I switched to Wrangler years ago ..
I have nothing to do with either company ..
I only wear Levi's.
I have Levi's from Goodwill I cherish and baby along. I have new Levi's in many styles, but yeah, I love Levi's, and prefer them to any other style, and for men, they should be in 501's, and nothing else.
Decoy same
511?
Decoy 527
Could care less about what anyone else says, but although I absolutely respect Levi's® history and own quite a few pair, nothing looks better in me than Wrangler® Jeans!
I would love to like them, wore them in the 80's but for a slim guy the 501s are just too boxy and baggy. I look like a dork in them. I prefer the 511s.
What I love about Levi's is the red tab on the right back pocket. I generally hate brand tags but that red tab is just so cool.
Glad you found a fit that you love - thanks for sharing!
The key is buying STF 501's and sizing down in the waist.
nout1972 I've always liked my jeans less baggy and straight, with them being a little slicker in the right areas while not being too tight
TylerDavis I buy 501s true to size but I get them tailored so I have that trendy fit with the best quality denim in the world
nout1972
my favorite jeans Levi's
I had a 501 back in high school from my Uncle. Now I have a job I got 9 pairs. I usually stay away from those that feels paper thin. I have 501 CT, 501 Skinny, 505c, 721s. Levi's for life!
In Dec of 2017 the Cone Mill shut down. All of these people are now without work undoubtedly and one of the most important parts of longitudinal American Culture and Clothing Culture around the world is now dead because no-one, stepped up to save the most critically important denim maker perhaps in the world but certainly in the US. It is truly a sad time for that community and for all of us who have worn and repsected the history of denim, the actual daily use of it and the love and care that these American Workers in this American Textile factory have given their lives to. Its a goddamn shame is what it is.
The brand was gone way before December 2017.
I’d love to see a day in the life of a worker from a Levi factory… hopefully they are being treated okay
Levis is ethical, I'm sure they treated their emoloyees fair. Unlike Fast fashion brands.
Last pair of Levi's 501s I bought were made in Pakistan and lasted 18 months. I usually wore these jeans to a coffee shop to edit documents and short trips to the market. In other words, I didn't put hard wear on them, and they didn't last.
I bought my 501's because of Salvia Eric!
Love my 501's, There're like no other jeans in the world. Made to adapt to the individual's body type - self tailoring jeans. These classic - timeless - babies can be worn for unlimited use, time & place , and gets only better time and wear characteristically *
Amazing video. Absolutely amazing. Great story
Here's a fun story
Im half iranian half iraqi yet born and raised in the south of iraq ( south is south everywhere u go so we're just a different type of middle eastern southerners )
Anyway, 2017/20 years old me was sick of em super slim jeans that everybody wears round here, even old people lol, i was looking for a loose heavy jeans going through many stores until i found a piece that the shop owner told me it was sent to him by mistake and it was a levi's 501R W32-L34 i tried it and i fell in love with it, i asked the guy how much for that one and he was like well just gimme 10 thousand dinars ( $8.26 back then )
And today i got 2 pairs from turkey ( for $125 ) cause thats how ive been getting ma 501s as one guy opened a fake shop here in BTS( Basra Times Square Mall) and called it levi's and a month later the place was shut down
Boy to see Henry Rollins in a Levi's doc. That's something special.
He’s been a big part of documentaries as of late.
I'm in love with this brand. Typically 511 jeans.
I love Levi's 501
👍 C. Spencer. I Bought My Levi's ® 501 🔵👖@ Thrift Stores And Yard Sales All Across The Country. They Are Worth The 💰 I've Spent.
I love Levis' 501 so much.
I only wear Levi's jeans.
I bought many pairs of Levi straight leg ,zipper front , jeans all made in America from Castner Knott's located in the Regency Square Mall in Florence, Alabama for $12.99 later $15.99 a pair from the late 1970's thur the entire 1980's. By the mid 1990's I was wearing Docker pleated jeans which of course was a Levi brand. You'll never find a new pair of Levi jeans now for $12.99 or $15.99 these days. Back in 1982 I recall buying 3 pair for $12.99 a pair on sale. Size 28 waist and 29 length. I wear size 38 to size 40 today. LOL ! Nothing fit as well or looked as good as Levi's and Docker Jeans.
Timeless never go out of fashion! Always buy levis.
I AM FROM INDIA 🇮🇳 I obsessed with LEVI'S jeans since 1977 when I was in School. My favorite No. Are 517,527, 501 I like high rise jeans. Now I am 59 yeats old I only buys LEVI'S jeans Iloved 👖 LEVI'S. 😊
I wish this was longer...
Lived in mine today. Respect.
My 1st 501 levis wen I was high school.. Damn still dopest 👍👍👍
From 6th grade all the way through senior year of high school I wore 501s every day except one day I wore Levi corduroys. I felt strange in those cords that day and went back to the 501s.
You dont wear Levi's you live in them
Bilal Awan no you wear them.
Telling me I live in my jeans? Fucks wrong with you?
I love 501s.I just got some retro 1873 type jeans and I love them.

Metal Fan s
Same except I managed to get a pair of 1966 ones for $40 from the Levi's store because they were having a big sail and there perfect for me being a carpenter! Made in USA ridged
Levi’s jeans are simply the best jeans in the universe
I've been wearing Levi's jeans for more than 3 decades and their company motto is really true that their "quality never goes out of style"...
their quality did though. The jeans they make now are very thin.
I love the 501 but it's the 504 & 511 which fits me perfectly

I'm 62 and 99.% of all my jeans were Levi's. During the 1990's I started buying Docker pleated jeans which is a Levi brand. Nothing ever fit me as well or felt as comfortable as Levi's and Dockers.
I have about 25 pairs of 501s, 5 pairs of 510s, 10 pairs of 511s, 4 pairs of 512s and a few misalliances ie computer pants ect.......... And many levi jacket, t shirts ect...... I love Levi's
Amazing Documentary. Great Product.

I had never owned a pair of Levi’s until the last few years and now I wear nothing but Levi jeans.
Classics comes out of utility.. LEGENDARY SUCCESS OF LEVI'S. Best denim I've ever used.

Honestly I wear all kinds of pants Khakis Dress Pants Chinos Suits etc but when I do wear jeans I wear 501's I also recently bought a pair 541 and they look pretty awesome on me. But I'm far from being a Jeans and Tshirt guy I guess i'm more casual and dressy.
I love Levi's jeans👍👌😱😎💞👬👫
I Love Levi's.
that was really good documentray : )
Oh my... my husband's levi's 501 is made in pakistan
Ok, im a fan now. great doc. spoke to me.
Levi's should at least manufacture their signature 501 jean in the United States, but their greed prevents them from doing this. I always wonder how much it would cost Levi's to manufacture a pair of 501's and sell them in the United States.
lived and worked in Scotland in 501s since the early 80s and we still be living in them until I pass to the next life. Hope they have 501s on the other side. Hopefully won't find out for a while!
I love Levis !!!!!
I bought a $22 pair last month. They ripped next to the zipper and left my balls hanging out in the wind while walking the dog 5 minutes ago. I hope Levi goes bankrupt!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:02 I see those red wing iron rangers Haha 💪
501's my favorite and only Levi's kind of jeans I've ever worn. The fit and softness of the jeans after breaking them in is umatched.
Don’t trade on your heritage and then shit on it. Levi’s could have purchased the Cone Mills plant from pretty cash, but chose to let it fold. And to add insult to injury, LVC moved it production to Bulgaria. Will stick to Japanese repros, thanks very much.
I'm wearing some #Black501 now 😏 on my way to graveyard hrs on the strip 😉 of Las Vegas NV 😏. Since I can remember 501 is all I ever purchased here in 2021✌️💯💞
The question is.. why dont they make them like they did in the 90s? When they were 100% cotton and had the iconic straight leg and perfect colour palettes that everyone fiends for now.. the money they could be making!
best jeans ever made
+Jonas Devenport : Eeehm. Cough. .....................Wrangler.......................
+Jonas Devenport Indeed.....they do. For that matter - - so does a pair of "EXTRA" Heavyweight Denim from Rustlers.😱 Ha!
Not the "heavyweight".... though I'm sure they're even better than foreign Levi's.....but the 14.5oz. Extra Heavyweight Rustlers - - I must say I was shocked. I could swear they are raw denim, there's no way they have been through a rinse cycle. I'm at day #107 and they haven't touched a drop of water except a little sprinkle of rain that got me going from the store to the car. Can't believe how they've broken in. Once I give these a soak after 250 days I think they'll impress even me. $10.99 at KMart.😆
Compare that to my Blue Blankets or Benzaks or Sage.....now I'm sure they won't fade as good as those .....but that is quite a price difference.👍
MrPocketfullOfSteel : Ha! Ha! Too Cool. Priceless Story.
best jeans
Bought my Levi's 501 in the Levi's store western Europe, says Made in Turkey......
Still I love my 501 the one and only!
I only wear 501 made in Valencia, SF. But today, 501 have no spirit and soul, no more made in USA even for the LVC lineup
Awesome story of Levi's corporation, !!! 🇺🇸😁🥰🤠🏳️🌈👋😉👍
I love my Levi's so much I live in them, all I wear is Levi's pair them with my Chelsea's and boom!! feel like a rock star, but for a slim guy like me 501's are just too big I have a runner physique so the 511's just fit me the best.
I quit buying 501's when they stopped making them in the USA.
Bring them back.
this is so good
After World War II. and 6 years at a Russian prison camp granddad finally came home. They received some aid shipments from the USA with a pair of jeans. Someone told him that people wear jeans in the US prisons too and for that reason he never wore them anymore. They ended up as oil rags. Every time he told this story he said he wore prison pants for 6 years, he won't wear them again.
There are just those brands
And the story goes, san francisco plant shutdown
levis 501 best seller in the Philippines ... just a style LEADER !!!
Levis is the absolute best.
I bought a pair in 2008 and it's in perfect condition today. I've gained weight, so it no longer fits, but I can't give it away. I just can't.
right next to yoga pants, shorts, sweat pants, levis jeans are da best
Wish Levi’s jeans from the last two decades was still reputable and had the quality like this documentary and the people that made the jeans like they should be made. I never buy new Levi’s (or the Levi’s made overseas).
Arizona is my 2nd favorite but Levis is #1
Too bad levis are cheap garbage now. If they were $15 a pair they would be ok.
In a USA'ish scale from 0 to 10, this video is 501!
I'm a foreigner, but this video made me feel like saluting people from USA and the passion they have for their History.
Keep going, Levi's! Keep going, USA!
Used to buy them when I was young. Now Wrangler jeans purchased at Walmart are just as good and much cheaper.
I have always worn zipper Jean's and never broken 1 always wore wrangler or Jnco but I recently ordered a pair a Button fly 501 Levi's and I didn't know they were button fly and was looking to switch it to a zipper but now I'm thinking it's better off as buttons if zippers really do break. I have had a broken zipper on a jacket before tho. The website for levi says made in USA but the tag says made in Egypt and I paid alot for them to so I'm not pleased at all by levi and thier false advertising they also have extremely shiney copper buttons and stainless steel silver which looks awkward and un professional. They are not made in USA!
