The 501 Jean: Stories of An Original

Levi’s 501 style has been around since the 1940s, and an American staple since its launch. In this three part series, their design team gives us a look at the development of the original 501 work pant, and how it has shaped work and casual wear in the near eighty years since its introduction. This first part traces the heritage of Levi Strauss’ first patent for riveted denim through over a century of coal miners, ranch hands, and industrial workers.

They might have only been chasing the monthly full occurence in Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon, but their adventure will last a lifetime.

Well, not all streaming services possess the rights to the popular animated comedy, but that's all changing as we speak.

In short, Family Guy is only available on Disney Plus if you live in one of the countries where Star is included in your Disney Plus subscription. That means countries like the U.K., Australia, and Canada have Family Guy on Disney Plus, but the U.S. misses out.
