~Today we're talking about BIG E~

 

LEVI'S uses arcuate stitching and

Why is there a red tab?

I also write a blog.

If you haven't seen it, go to the bottom of this blog.

I have posted a link to this blog as a related post.

Please read it.

 

 

 

Have you ever heard of the term BIG E?

But what is this BIG E?

The red tab says

Something with a capital E in LEVI'S

My name is BIG E.

 

 

From 1936 to 1971

The red tab attached to the manufactured item is

This is the BIG E tab.

After that it becomes a small e.

 

In recent years, denim sold at LEVI'S (excluding LVC)

There is a line called LEVI'S premium.

That item has a BIG E on it.

 

 

 

There are three types of tags called BIG E.

That means just by looking at the red tab

This means that it is possible to roughly determine the age.

 

 

[Single-sided tab]

 

片面タブ

 

 

片面タブ

 

This is from 1936 to 1953

The red tab used reads "One Sided."

It is called that by Levi's lovers.

 

 

[Double-sided, even V]

 

 

Both sides, even V

 

 

 

This is the tab that was used from 1953 to 66.

Since the tabs were changed to double-sided tabs to separate the different age groups, it must have been after 53.

The next thing to look at is the 'V' of LEVI'S, which will be the point for dividing the groups.

 

I would like to see a comparison in the next image.

The point is that the V is a beautiful V.

This is called an even V.

 

 

[Double-sided, uneven V]

 

 

Double-sided, uneven V

 

 

 

This was used from 1966 to 1971.

If you pay attention to the letter V, you will see the difference.

 

 

And in 1971, when the company went public,

The red tab has changed from LEVI'S to Levi's.

Small e is born.

 

 

So this time I wrote a blog about BIG E.
