Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC 1873 Duck Canvas Waist Overalls

 

The cotton duck cloth overalls is a replica of the closest surviving relatives of the very first pair of riveted Waist Overalls crafted by Jacob Davis in January 1871. Before denim became the more popular finish. Levi's Strauss & Co. also made overalls in cotton duck; this was probably the cause of the erroneous notion that Levi's first "denim" jeans were made of sailcloth dyed blue.

These Waist Overalls date from around 1880 and like all early Levi's , feature just one back pocket, cinch, waist buttons, no belt loops, crotch rivet, single needle stitch, early non-Two Horse Brand label, in this case centrally placed.

Denim always seemed to have been the more popular option; LS&Co. stopped making cotton duck overalls in 1911.

 

The Valencia construction has been recognized as an icon of top quality in LS&CO.. And now this 555 labelled Duck overalls is in Union Dry Goods. Obviously we don't need much description and the pictures tell you basically everything.
