These look almost like replicas. Hard to believe they aren't just worn away, the natural wear on them looks amazing.
-
What a pleasure to see. I wish we still made things like this in the US... well-made and more expensive. It'd cure consumerism
-
They should be in a museum, not at a auction. :(
-
All of that history for $80k? If I owned, I'd make sure my family held onto them for another 120 years!
-
Some explorer's just found some older.. down in an old mine in Arizona.. like 4 pair. Not in as good condition but believed to be pre 1870. Old known Levi's

Brent underwood: watches This man: 80,000$ levi's Brent underwood: time to go back to the 200th level of the union mine and get myself some levi's off Brent runs
-
Actually there is 3 more now. A guy found some an old mine shift.
-
00:46 anyone else think the typeset looks like it could've been printed any time in the last fifty years? Clothing that doesn't look out of place now - from the 1800s. So cool.

Rick from Pawn Stars would try to lowball the guy down to 5 bucks. "Well im gonna have to pay to get them framed and the value for jeans from the 1800s just isnt what it was 5 years ago." Then they would add a little bit of cheesy comedy to it by having Chumlee put them on.

36 inch inseam was standard for these jeans. People cuffed them. He wasn’t necessarily that tall.
-
White Labor made jeans is the next step up from raw selvedge denim. Waiting for Iron Heart to start making these in 23 ounce.

back when levi made good quality jeans
-
I sure do love inside edition but i wish they had longer clips or even full episodes
-
6'6 in height and 300 pounds. Wow.
-
44x36 more likely 275 lbs. I was 6'6"with a 36 inseam and 38-44 waistband (changing weight) and weighed 250 lbs.
-
Finally! A pair of vintage jeans that would fit me!!!
-
36 inch inseam was actually standard because back then they were looking for a more "one-size fits all" kind of approach because it was more affordable and efficient back then. So selling individual jeans in different waist sizes were an exception, inseam lengths wasnt seen as necessary since you can adjust the leg length of your jeans by cuffing them or hemming them. So it doesn't necessarily have to do with him being a tall man or having proportionally long legs, .

Not the oldest known anymore. A miner in Arizona found 7 pair from 1870s not long ago!
-
The fit of these look amazing, can we get this style remade 😅
