Our 501® jeans from 1933 featured updates, like belt loops, and traditional details, like the classic cinch and suspender buttons. Levi's® wearers at the time would cut off the cinch right at the rivet and removed the suspender buttons, choosing not to wear their Levi’s® jeans with suspenders, like the older generation. Some Levi’s® brand retailers even kept a big pair of scissors at the cash desk to cut the cinch off for their customers.
