The ‘Oldest Oldest jeans are the newest piece in the Levi Strauss & Co Archives, and also probably the oldest. Dated back to 1875, this precious pair of denim waist overalls was discovered in a Nevada mining town. Made with 9-ounce denim from the Amoskeag Mill in Manchester, New Hampshire, these jeans carry shank buttons, patented rivets, single needle Arcuate, cinch-back and four pockets.
The short sleeved Sunset label undershirt (now popularly called a T-shirt) is robust single jersey with warm off-white herringbone tape and cotton poplin on the placket. Like most underwear of the day, it is long in the body and fitted in the sleeve to keep it close to the body and stop it from sliding around.
