Why Is The Oldest Levi 'S Jeans Worth One Hundred Thousand Dollars?

According to the world clothing shoes and hats net, in April 3rd, a Strange Inheritances called Levi s was broadcast on the Fawkes commercial platform in the United States.

The appearance of the mirror triggered the topic.

On the one hand, its history is long enough, which is called "the oldest existing brand of jeans" by the program group.

And at the beginning of the program, the jeans collectors of a shareholder were given tens of thousands of dollars worth of value.

The "jewel" jeans were found in a large wooden trunk handed down by a middle-aged American named Jock Taylor.

At first he did not feel anything special about the dusty trousers, but when he dug up the dust, he found the back pocket of the jeans.

The logo is different from the current Levi s jeans. For example, it has exposed rivets, strap buckles, and the back pocket is single.

So Taylor began to guess that this Levi 's might be an antique.

As far as he knows, the big wooden box with jeans always belonged to his great grandfather Solomon Warner.

After the death of Warner, the box was passed down from generation to generation, and after several rounds, Taylor was inherited from her mother.

That is to say, if this pair of trousers is the legacy of Warner, it means that it has less than 100 years history.

In the show, Taylor's conjecture was confirmed, because the oddity of the jeans he observed just happened to be the evidence of his long history.

For example, exposed rivets indicate that the trousers were made at least until 1937, because the rivet of Levi 's jeans after that year had cowboys.

Parcel.

For example, a strap fastener indicates that the production date of this pair of trousers must have been earlier than 1922.

Since 1922, Levi 's jeans have started more belts that can be used for belts.

In addition, the most important thing is the single pocket on the back of the trousers, which pushes the whole year of the jeans forward for another 20 years. After entering 1901, Levi 's began to make two backpack jeans.

The textual research expert is Daniel Buck Soules.

He finally decided the year of the trousers in 1893.

The basis of its judgement is not only the change of Levi 's production process and product characteristics, but also the life of Solomon Warner.

In fact, Solomon Warner is a famous scholar who studies the history of Arizona history. As the pioneer of westward nuggets, Solomon Warner traveled all the way from Shangzhou, New York, in the eastern part of the United States in 1830s, and finally took root in Tucson, the southern city of Arizona.

Jim Turner once said that if you want to buy something locally, you will have to find Solomon Warner.

Warner finally died in 1899.

According to the world clothing and shoe net, this year and the historical story behind it, Levi 's wants to buy this pair of jeans at a price of 50 thousand US dollars, and the brand has always had the tradition of buying back brand antique jeans. In the Beijing blue harbor store, Levi's has displayed several antique jeans.

In response, Nicolas Versloot, managing director of Levi's Greater China, has repeatedly mentioned that this is an important means of brand promotion history.

In the United States, Levi 's did have a precedent to buy jeans for six digit dollars.

But Taylor should not buy the deal.

Considering that trousers are brand new and well maintained, he believes there will be enthusiasts who love to buy and wear antique jeans to offer higher quotations.

His psychological price for this pair of jeans is 100 thousand dollars.

It's just that Taylor doesn't seem to take into account the actual wear of this pair of trousers. Because Warner is a big man, this waist length of 44 inches and the length of 37 x (44W x 37L) trousers are not suitable for most people.

Therefore, from this point of view, Levi 's should be more suitable than individual buyers.

"Size is really important," said the former jeans collector at the end of the program. "If it's too big or too small, then jeans will become less valuable."
