When Levi Strauss & Co. covered the back pocket rivets in 1937, everyone thoughtthat would solve the problem of rivets scratching their furniture when they satdown. But those copper rivets were tougher than they looked;after a few years ofhard wear, they continued to break right through the denim, scratching things upagain.
