Hailed as the the definitive five pocket jean, the 1947 version is the quintessential 501 jean. In short supply during the war, when several key features were removed to save metal and fabric, by 1947 the new 501 jean was in huge demand. Whilst the Arcuate and original Levi's zinc buttons were back, the crotch rivet, cinch-back and suspender buttons were gone for good. Belt loops and concealed copper rivets became standard.
