  • Who knew jeans tucked away 124 years ago in a trunk would someday be worth so much today? The oldest pair of Levi Strauss blue jeans known to exist are from the 1890s and in pristine condition. They are believed to have never been worn. The Levis are expected to go for $80,000, according to auctioneer Daniel Soules. The jeans also come with a Levi's guarantee referencing a dark chapter in American history. They were owned by legendary pioneer Solomon Warner who helped settle Tucson, Arizona. #InsideEdition

      @@HunterMann Exactly.. how do people think these things get to the museum? They ask nicely and do paper rock scissors to see which museum gets the artifact? No, they have to go to auction and bid and pay money for it before their museum can have it. If the museum doesn't pay more than someone else, they don't get the piece. And typically no one is buying a pair of old jeans to display in their bedroom in private, they probably have a gallery or museum, even a private one, where it will be displayed. But if a museum wants the history they need to pay money for the item and acquire it legally.

    @RainbowRoadCrashTest Před 3 měsíci

    36 inch inseam was actually standard because back then they were looking for a more "one-size fits all" kind of approach because it was more affordable and efficient back then. So selling individual jeans in different waist sizes were an exception, inseam lengths wasnt seen as necessary since you can adjust the leg length of your jeans by cuffing them or hemming them. So it doesn't necessarily have to do with him being a tall man or having proportionally long legs, .
