I hope this will be of some help to you.

 

 

When talking about Levi's red tab

 

"A woman you can't leave out"

 

Do you know that there are?

 

 

His name is Chris Lucia.

She is an employee of Levi's.

 

 

One day in 1936...

 

 

 

 

Enjoying my favorite rodeo on my day off

 

Chris Lucia's hobby is going to see them.

 

 

A holiday like any other...

 

And watching my favorite rodeo.

 

She suddenly thought to herself at the venue:

 

 

What kind of people wear Levi's jeans?

 

 

She then begins informal field research.

 

As soon as he started his research, Chris Lucia's mind was

I think this is probably what happened.

 

 

"There's nothing that identifies Levi's!"

 

 

So she thinks:

 

 

"Let's create something that will be a Levi's signature that anyone can see."

 

 

So she met Milton, who was the Levi's factory manager at the time.

 

 

"Let's put a red tab on the side of the pocket to mark it."

 

 

So he came up with the idea.

 

 

This is the red tab that everyone knows.

 

 

1936 and later LEVI'S 506XX Red Tab

 

 

From shipments made on September 1936, 9

 

First, put it on your overalls.

 

The logo began appearing on jackets on July 1937, 7.

 

Nowadays, it is commonplace

 

We see the red tab

 

This red tab also changes with the years,

 

This is an important detail in determining the age.

 

This time, we will talk about the birth of Red Tab and one female employee.

 

I wrote a blog.

The denim jacket and pants feature the LEVI'S red tab.

We use our original tabs.

The three points introduced this time are

 

LAST RESORT (our original fabric)

This is the denim used.

 

Cutting a deadstock 50s Levi's 503BXX

After scientifically analyzing the fabric

We made the fabric from scratch to recreate the same fabric as the Vintage.

It is made from LAST RESORT fabric.

 

The first of these is the 301XX, 312ZXX...

And, although I wasn't able to introduce it this time, the 313XX

Released in the 2020AW collection.

 

Through magazines, television, YouTube, etc.

The popularity of this denim is gradually increasing.

 

On October 7, 2022

The second release, 301EXX, has been released.

 

The denim this time is the familiar 501 from LEVI'S...

In the long history of the 501

The early 1947 model is arguably the greatest masterpiece ever.

Focused.
