The world's No. 1 textile factory, Amoskeag
~The world's number one textile factory~
1870s: Blue denim with rivet-reinforced pockets
(1873. Made by Levi's)
1890: Denim is given lot numbers, and the 501 is born.
(1890 501XX)
It is a big presence for LEVI'S.
For those who like VINTAGE LEVI'S
If you're interested in LEVI'S, you should know this name.
"Amoskeag Company"
A company that supplied denim fabric to Levi's from 1870 to around 1915.
In 1935, due to the Great Depression and other factors, the company's performance deteriorated and it went bankrupt.
This time, we will talk about Levi's up to 1915.
Amoskeag is a New Hampshire company.
It was in Manchester.
There are many factories in this area that use water power.
It seems to have been very prosperous.
Amoskeag also operated as a hydro-fiber factory.
It contributed to the prosperity of the city.
In the late 19th century, Levi's became a customer.
It will be the number one textile factory in the world.
As I wrote above
Reinforced with rivets from 1870
The birth of blue jeans
The birth of the 1890 in 501
If Amoskeag hadn't existed
Maybe he wasn't even born.
So Amoskeag Company
How important is it to the history of Levi's?
I hope you will understand.
However, in the 20th century,
It will tilt suddenly.
Uses new energy sources instead of hydroelectric power
There will be more textile factories.
This makes Amoskeag the world's number one company.
In Manchester
Scenes like this can be seen all over the city.
The buildings and equipment are dilapidated.
This tells us that Amoskeag, Inc.
The whole city is in financial difficulty.
Waist overalls are in high demand
Amoskeag Company also
I needed to deliver fabric to Levi's.
LEVI'S was founded by Amos Keag
It became impossible to supply a stable supply of fabric,
Furthermore, the quality of the fabric has declined.
Make one decision.
It can't be helped, but from another factory
It's a choice to receive supply.
That other factory is the well-known Cone Mills.
(I'll talk about Corn Mills next time.)
Probably Cone Mills.
We have been supplying them since around 1910.
At least from then until 1915
This will be a transitional period.
The waist overalls of this time
Amoskeag Corn Mills and
It is different and the color unevenness is obvious.
(Document showing him wearing 501XX at that time)
There is such a historical flow.
Finally, we used dough made by Cone Mills.
This will be in a new form, but we'll talk about it next time.
JELADO is based on vintage

To analyze XX fabrics from the 50s
Cutting the deadstock denim from that time with scissors
It was scientifically analyzed and found to be extremely similar to XX fabric.
