1873-2016. Levi's: The Original Jeans

Did you know that when you buy a pair of Levi’s, you’re buying a part of history?

It’s amazing that a brand that started it all is still just as trendy today as in 1873 – the year Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented the process of putting rivets in men’s work pants for the first time.

Levi’s are a true example of a brand evolving with the times without losing its original quality!

From a working man's staple item that sold for $1.25 to Kardashian casual for $100+ Levi's celebrated their 143rd anniversary in May. The 501s made 143 years ago are still being made today! 

So what does this classic brand have available for this summer?

Two collections that stand out the most are the Skateboarding Collection, and an eye-catching rainbow-detailed LGBT Pride Collection.

Our favourite summer staples over here at Denim Kings right now though are the 501 shorts, available in pale Frozen Stream Blue or a darker Echo Park Blue. Shorts with an iconic fit and button fly that started it all.

For men, we recommend the 511 slim fit cut-offs in Grey. The raw hem on these can be visible, or rolled for a slightly different look.
