Description
- During World War II, the United States government told all clothing manufacturers that they had to remove a certain amount of metal, fabric and thread from their garments in order to conserve the raw materials for the war effort. Levi Strauss & Co. did what they could to help. Off came the watch pocket rivets, the crotch rivet and the cinch and its two rivets (which eliminated both fabric and metal). Buttons became standard issue during the war, and featured a laurel leaf design.
- There was however one rationing rule that was a little harder to bear: the order to remove the Arcuate stitching, because it was considered decorative and in other terms meant that it didn't have a function. Well, LS & CO. thought it did: it was one of the prime identifiers of the classic 501® jeans. Rather than lose this important design, LS & CO. worked out a system to paint the Arcuate stitching on every pair of 501® jeans that came out of the factory. The paint eventually washed off but having that stitching visible when buying the jeans was the important thing.
