THE LEVI’S®
A RCHI VES
Safely preserved in a vault deep inside our headquarters in
San Francisco lies an archive of over 20,000 rare and unique
examples of Levi’s® clothing and artifacts dating back to as
early as 1873. Kept at an even temperature and wrapped in
unbleached cotton, these delicate specimens are carefully
protected by the Levi’s® Historian and strictly reserved for
the use of our designers. Each season, our team pores
through the archives with white-gloved hands, uncovering
the secrets of our past and then bringing them back into
the world through faithful reproductions that are as fresh
now as they were back then.

LEVI’S® history with baseball dates far back to the
company’s early days when they founded their own team
called the Levi Strauss and Co. Base Ball Club.
Around 1909, the team’s name was changed to “Elesco”
which was a play on the company’s LS&Co. initials.
Just as baseball was hitting its stride as a popular
American sport in the 1920s, Levi’s launched its
“Homerun” line of youth wear, which featured a baseball
diamond on its woven label.
This season Levi’s® Vintage Clothing pays tribute to the
Elesco team and the Homerun label by reproducing some
of the most iconic pieces from the brand’s long history in
sportswear.
