A glimpse of the items on display as part of Levi Strauss: A History of American Style

Discover the history of a cultural icon in Levi Strauss: A History of American Style, a CJM original exhibition celebrating the life of Levi Strauss, the birth of the blue jean, and the history of San Francisco — the city where it all began. Don’t miss your chance to see one of the oldest pairs of “waist overalls” (an early name for blue jeans) dating all the way back to 1890, Albert Einstein’s iconic leather jacket worn on the cover of Time Magazine, Beyoncé’s customized Superlows bootcut jeans, and so much more. Featuring over 250 garments, photographs, and ephemera from the Levi Strauss & Co. Archives, this exhibition is the largest public display of the company’s archival materials ever assembled. Experience the story of a Jewish immigrant who realized the American dream and inspired a style revolution!
