Wow nowadays you can’t get a $70 pair of Levi’s to last 2 years. They sold the “premium” Levi’s for $98 that were the old quality of the jeans, just far more expensive. They’ve since done away with that line and brought in the “vintage collection” for $250+ per pair of jeans. Oh and get this, none of them are made in the USA. You’re better off spending $10 at goodwill for a pair of Levi’s from the 1990s.
word
Totally agree! Quality is just terrible now, love the styles, but for me the money just isn't worth it anymore.
I guess my Premium Levis that I purchased for $98 2.5 years ago and have worn hundreds of times in that span aren't high high quality?
Some areas below the equator are showing a little thin right now, but I intend to get some reinforcement down there.
What are you talking about. I’m a Levi’s collector. Over 60 pair of pants purchased in over 12 years, and nary a pair is altered it’s shape. The faded are incredible, the fits are incomparable.
@@mmonkeyman1403 if your jeans are starting to thin after just 2.5 years, yes you are absolutely getting ripped off. The average American did not own more than 2 pairs of jeans just 30 years ago. This means they wore the same pants over and over and over again. My grandfather is still wearing his Levi’s from the 80s. You just cannot do that with today’s Levi’s. The drop in quality is undeniable and outrageous, especially now that you have to spend over $100 to get slightly higher quality jeans that are made overseas.
Proud to say it was my papa who found it! Ifn's y'all are interested in his hounding and exploring, he's got a youtube.
You can find him under Tapp'n the american west!
Thanks sweetie… I just saw Tracey did a video of the jacket I found❤️ fun to see it’s where it should be and future generations now have it too to appreciate… still crazy how I found it… definitely a fun memory😊
what's more surprising to me, is how this jacket still stands after 130+ years, fabric pollution ain't no effing joke.
I really think you all should recreate the earliest catalog products so we know what it looks like when it was made in 1800's
They should sell them too.
are you a miner? why would they recreate clothing made for the 1890's for today's market? every age has its own fashion and then it dies for a reason
@@martinvanburen4578 Fashion is cyclical
@@redswift31 when are wigs coming back?
@@martinvanburen4578 idk m8
Yeah great history. Wish Levi’s would make repros of all of their archive pieces at an accessible price, not only for LVC.
The methods used to recreate archive pieces are not in line with the technology and market of today. LVC is priced like that because so much time and effort goes into the process of recreating something.
@@luisalmaraz2549 That's BS. They could still be making 501's the way they used to but they cheapened the process to make more money. Of course now it cost a fortune to make them in small quantities but they never should have deviated from he originals in the first place.
@@luisalmaraz2549 True, but it's not like they have to figure out how to recreate a pair of 1947s or a type II jacket or even Einstein's jacket every time they make them. 1947s are made every single time, it's one of their staples.
@@artistnyc123 they really can't though as all of the selvedege denim mills in the us are non existent
No they don’t need to make it again.
Amazing video! I want a whole series of this!
Levi’s doing this is so freaking rad
Fantastic, keep posting videos like this please.
Really cool history! Great video.
I love Levis forever.
I wish that Levi,s would start making them as good now , as they did then.
Quality always outlasts quantity .
Thanks for the video .
Better condition then my year old trucker jacket
Dear Levi’s,
Please bring back American manufacturing, like ORIGIN USA.
Levis like money much more as a good quality
There's no way I'd wear the new stuff, you can still get high quality vintage Levi's
Yes!
@@insomb from where?
@@yungyahweh Vintage dealers... instagram... ebay.
Very cool, kudos to Levi’s and their folks. This would be the ultimate in the worn-in heritage look for denim heads. The “one sleeve” thing could become a trend.
Levi's should reproduce those products from that era, I bet they would sell out of every production run. Make them tough and strong like they used to be, and customers will praise the products.
I agree it would be cool. One big problem would be that the production run would probably be so high that cost would be astronomical and the number of people willing to buy them would be extremely tiny.
@@mmonkeyman1403 make it as efficient as possible. Enough to have the same price but with less margins. Nothing is more expensive only the margins dictate how greedy a company is
just buy Japanesse denim- good ol' selvedge denim is though as nail
@@RedMartyr and costs half a fortune
@@TotalRejection Yeah, it gets pretty expensive if you buy denim that was completely manufactered in Japan. But there are companies like Naked and Famous, and a Custom brand called SoSo Clothing that offers Japanese fabrics where the actual product was constructed in other areas of the world. $300USD (Or less) for a pair of Heaveyweight (Over 12oz) , raw, Selvedge denim that looks great on day-one and could fade, and age beautifully as it lasts longer than typical denim seems like a good deal to me. Add in the fact that because these fabrics are somewhat expensive, they are actually worth repairing thus increasing their lifespan even further.
Thank Tracey for doing a great job and restoring the jacket… ps it was nice meeting you😊
I didn't like meeting you at all.
Amazing!!
So cool!
What a find.
I’ll be waiting patiently for the LVC version!
They'll probably mangle it like they mangle everything else they do. Just but the one from mister freedom it's gonna be the same price and way better
Your waiting for trash not history
Lovely ❤Levi’s
Crazy !
I admired LEVIS SINCE MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS era of 70.S
Great video!
Awesome ⚡🔥🤘🏻
I heard an econimist talking about how items retain their value over time (It was actually about watches) - but he mentioned how in a perfect capitalist system the intrinsic value of an item would be reduced upon production by causing deliberate damage to a product before it ever hit the shelf. Funny, if you think of how nowadays they sell you pre-ripped and pre-faded denim and call it style. Think about that
Also consider how ripped jeans were originally meant to be an anticapitalist statement; since people wanted to demonstrate how little they cared about their appearance, they would wear their clothes threadbare rather than buying new clothes to look 'presentable.' Later the fashion industry would co-opt this aesthetic as a way to profit off of the punk and grunge movements while neutralizing their ethos.
You've done a grrrraaaaannd job, Ladies!
My favorite brand levis from 2000 onwards I am using levis brand basically 👖 jeans all time favorite
Deseando una recreación de esta increible sac coat en la nueva Levis Vintage Clothing Collection!!! 😍😍😍
It'll be garbage and nothing like the original and It'll be made in China
Estaría bien que estas colecciones de Levis llegaran a más países como México :(
"It's second hand thrifted bro."
“It’s pre-loved sis”
Pretty wild how a style of clothing has lasted over a century
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s the jaaaaaaaaaacket !!!
Please make Emerson boots again!
nice collab by levis and balenciaga
vintage grail
. You can see Tracey labouring to enunciate every last letter of a word.
Back when Levi's lasted.
Whats the jacket in the back with the animals
The women's Levi zipped Ankle Jeans were the pair of jeans I very owned Levi # Life
How much this cost??? Cuz I’ll buy it an be wearing it out the archive
Levi's Silvertab label back in the 1990's.
Purchasing items through the CifrisNFT marketplace gives the buyer the chance to hold and sell the item later for a higher value and the royalties give the brands passive income once the item is being resold.
Most people are angry about very expensive Levis Vintage Clothing or Selvedge Denim made Clothing for over 100 Dollars each. But Back in the days, 120 Years ago people payed always much money for a high quality, Long lasting Jeans or Jacket. It wasn't that much pieces as today, it was better and they repaired it. Today fashion is a short living mass product.
Crazy to think this jacket is prob gonna last 200 years
Its a shame that Levi's doesnt even make clothes in the USA anymore.
this is probably jacket from Arthur Morgan.
🧥Merci👍
I’d prolly still wear it
US archaeology, I like Levi's clothing, but if France it is expensive.
I learn that Levi's company have an ethics and ecological politic.
Is it true that blue Denim come from Nîmes is south of France?
Thank you.
"I dusted it off and hung it up. That will be $7000."
Are you all going to reproduce this?
Service
Interesting, but it would be nice to be able to have a good look at it without the constant cut shots.
And the annoying sub titles....
Now if only they still made their jeans in the USA..
My levis jacket saved my life
I'm guessing a pile of rocks with a jacket in it was a grave
We’re there bones in the rock pile
Levis! make a really premium cotton t shirt that looks better with age, and stays in shape
By vintage you mean tube shirt ? I think some things are better left in the past
Vintage? Whats a tubeshirt?
@@mr.145 Its a shirt that is made with no seams on the sides. It is a vintage way of crafting shirts
this comment section is solid
Wash it!
the guy who found it - what did he get?
Meanwhile on the European continent there are discoveries of objects with several thousand years of age, while in the US they get excited by a Levi’s coat of a just hundred years ago.
You mean Levi’s gets excited, not the whole USA
artifacts of old levis are arguably better than any european bullshit
the two horses are pulling a mans limbs apart.
Arthur Morgan coat
just toss it in the washing machine
Levi’s used to be good not so now, wear out too quick unlike the old school, Levi badges all wash out leaving you with a blank patch of leather on the back.gone over to Nudie jeans so much better made.
Nudies? 🤢
I'm the boss.
Levis aqui no Brasil custa muito caro,e a durabilidade não compensa o preço. São todos Ching ling. Essa é uma forma pejorativa de dizer,que são chineses.
Levi ackerman..
Why don't you dry clean it.
Sell that to pawn stars for 500 bucks 😄
Anything in the museum about how much 501's sucked after 1985?
I don’t think it’s smart of you to show this to the customer...
I mean comparing quality then to now will bite you in the rear.
Levi's was a great American company, with outstanding products. Now it is pretty much cheap garbage that will deteriorate in months. They obviously know how to make long lasting durable products, but they choose not to. That's why I choose to not buy their products anymore. Sad.
don't let Balenciaga see this
2 weeks for that Lmao all she did was softly take the top dirt off
wow it still looks like shit after all these years!
LOL
Levis now is soo boeing the same style every year..i love levis for decade but now..pls do something more into the environment and style.do cargo pants,airism tee etc u know something new
This is like telling BMW to make fishtanks insteal of cars
Why don’t they just run it through the wash?
it would literally crumble like tony stark
@@alexandraami lmfaooo
you can find this coat on any bum down no the freeway, no need to hire an expert
Scammmm.
Dear Levi's you traded in quality for wokeness.
Please go back to 100% cotton garments, and a higher weight.
sorry dudes but i had to boycott your brand for life due to your political stances.
What political stance
@@rosez6737 they are part of the woke brigade. into cashless society, covid passes and climate footprints. also involved in russian boycotts. not bad for a jeans company...!!
@@rosez6737 i bet if you look deeper you will see huge multi million dollar government loans / bailouts on their books.....
@@rosez6737 not to mention their products are made oversea by vietnamese and taiwanese slave labourers.
@@rosez6737 its a nazi company. a fascist operation.
Not made in America anymore, will not buy Levi's ever again, what a bunch of BS she's spewing
keep telling yourself the lie that "made in america" means better quality
@@mello6450 no it means American jobs, instead of giving our money to China, fool
