Among the denim jackets that LEVI'has sold in the past, the one that boasts a unique presence is the 506XX, commonly known as the 1st. The 1st was produced from 1905 to the early 1950s, and the original is currently trading at a very high price.
Levi's released a reprint model and sampled by various work brands, the 506XX can be said to be the king of denim jackets.
This time, the original 506XX, which is perfect for women to men equivalent to XS size, has arrived in Earl Kamakura.
Here, we will guide you along with the history of 506XX.
History of LEVI'S 506XX DENIM JACKET
Levi's was founded in 1853. At the time of its founding, it ran a general store. Jeans production began during the gold rush of the 1870s. We started by developing durable work clothes for miners using the technique of using metal rivets to reinforce cotton canvas.
The prototype of the 506XX, commonly known as the 1st, was released in the early 20th century and was in production until around 1952.
The 506XX's predecessor, the pleated blouse, is said to have appeared in the early 1900s, with flaps in the pockets in the 1920s. Its feature is one pocket on the left and pleats on the front. During World War II, the flaps disappeared due to material control, and minor specification changes were made throughout its history.

1st, LEVI'S 506XX DENIM JACKET 1947 model in stock in Earl Kamakura
The 506XX denim jacket that arrived this time is a model called 1947.
The cinch back has two needles, and the part that receives the needles has a zigzag attachment. After this model, it will be changed to the specification that there is no needle in the cinch back.
One pocket with flap. CO rivets are used, but since there is also one Co rivet that can be seen during the war, I think it was made during the transition period after the war.
The red tab is BIGE, which is a single-sided tab.
This denim jacket has a beaded butterfly on the right chest. The colorful butterflies that remain beautiful are eye-catching.
There is damage to the collar and a feeling of use suitable for the age, but it is in relatively good condition in the 506XX.
