do ya'll know the story of the original Levi's with a crotch rivet?

sitting around the campfire that metal rivet could get warmer than preferred, much. upon standing it could make the wearer know it had gotten in such a state. they quit adding that rivet. so if you come across an old pair with that rivet they're worth a pile of money, and wear them around the campfire at your own peril.

Very timely for me. I just bought 2 pairs of Levi's this week. After years of searching for the perfect fit, I finally found that elusive pair of blue jeans, so I bought 2. Now I'm happy and can make cut-offs out of the poor fitting jeans I've been wearing.
