Rivets on Jeans – From Functional to Decorative

You may spot the little copper rivets on jeans or other denim products. In fact, these metal rivets on jeans were designed and patented by Levi Strauss.

However, with the advancement of technology, modern stitching can also provide the same function. Moreover, with the rising trend of minimalism, manufacturers try to eliminate unnecessary details on their designs. As a result, you seldom find rivets on jeans nowadays. Yet, it doesn’t mean that rivets should be gone completely. Putting rivets on jeans is a salute to the tradition and they are the perfect decoration for vintage denim lovers.

Apart from the rivets, Jacrons is also a must on jeans. They are the label at the back of the waist. Their function is to show the brand and size of the jeans – which they still do now. Yet, many of the Jacrons are now made of faux leather instead of real leather.
