A tailor, Jacob Davis, and Levi Strauss& Co go into business together one day for jeans products. Modern jeans began to appear in 1920s, but sales are confined to certain consumers, especially for the working people of western United States like lumberjacks, railroad workers and cowboys. When Easterners took vacation back home from the West, they brought back the tales of the hard-wearing pants with rivets. This is the first time that Levi’s jeans were introduced to the East. When WWⅡ happened, jeans became a necessary commodity and were only sold to those who engaged in defense work. In the 1950s and 1960s, Levi’s jeans became popular among many youth subcultures, such as hippies. Its popular shrink-to-fit 501s were still sold nowadays.
