Levis Vintage Pocket Guide

Era: War time edition
These pockets were used during World War II when there were rationing of thread.
any detail that had no effect on the garment and was for decorative purposes only was
banned. The arcurates were actually painted on by hand and very few remaining pieces
still have their paint because it washed off or flaked off after wearing. A pristine pair of WWII
jeans with or without their paint can fetch well into the thousands of dollars from a collector.
Of course a pair with the paint would fetch on the higher side of a pair without.



Era:Post War - 1966
