Levis® | Episode 22: Tracking a Levi's Discovery at Mono Basin | Levi's @LEVIS | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Join Levi Strauss & Co. Historian Tracey Panek on a journey to explore a remarkable discovery in California’s Mono Basin—a pair of Levi's® 201 jeans found in a deteriorating cabin dating to the late 1800s.
The Levi's® jeans were wedged between logs as insulation for snowy winter nights. Bits of striped fabric, square head nails and a piece of a blanket-lined Levi's® jacket were also found at the cabin. But it was an obsidian arrowhead that provided a clue to the identity of the Levi's® wearer–a member of the Mono Lake Kootzaduka’a tribe of Northern Paiutes.
Follow Tracey as she learns more about the Native American Levi's® owner and travel to the Paiute Cemetery in Nevada where he was buried in 1929.
