First Levi's Jeans (1873)

PANTS! They were essential to Western Expansion in the 1800s... but damn if they didn't suffer frequent "blow outs" to the pockets and crotch! That's embarrassing! Luckily, a tailor named Jacob Davis took up the challenge to reinforce denim and found a partner in a certain famed jean magnate, way before he was even a jeans gent! Fast forward to today and we're all pretty much always wearing jeans because we love the look and that sweet sweet indigo weave. This episode, we discuss the FIRST LEVI'S JEANS! We also get buggy in the MouthGarf Report and silly in I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
