They’re still tough after 125 years?
Then again, Levis were primarily for guys on the frontier and working in the mines.
Best American invention.

“Cords” were de rigueur when I was in junior high and high school. They were even more popular than jeans. Dark brown was a popular color, but I preferred the pale khaki and light blue. Corduroy — fabric of royalty.

I’m wearing a pair that I’ve kept patched and going for about 20 years. Bet they’re worth that least 50 cents.

I thought this was from friends of mine!
They own a pair from this era, but the pair was not in pristine condition!

I don't think they had all the variety of tailored lengths we do today. Back then I think you bought them long and cuffed them.

When I was a kid growing up in the 50s nad 60s, just about every guy wore blue jeans.
We called them all Levis tho thinking back, probably more of us wore Wranglers. They were of equal quality and sold for a bit less.

I know a guy whose little boy (five, maybe) had to go to the hospital to get extricated from a really bad zipper incident.

Cords were de rigueur when I was in junior high
1965 - Wide wale corduroy bell bottoms, Beatle boots with horseshoe cleats and a rat tail comb sticking out of your back pocket. That was a fashion statement.
