Glenn Beck Jeans Make Debut On 1791, Has The Conservative Pundit Turned Fashion Designer?

After a tiff with Levi’s for its racy ad content, conservative media personality Glenn Beck, turned fashion designer and denim enthusiast, unveiled his new line of jeans this week.

Jeans for his clothing company 1791 went on sale Monday and are available in two cuts, classic and straight, for $129.99. What sets his jeans apart from the rest is their origin, according to Beck, who boasts his jeans are made solely in America with “the exact fabric that the miners used to use in the 1800s.”

That's "100% made in America," Beck said. “Each pair of jeans has been painstakingly constructed by America's most skilled denim craftsmen to create an honest pair of jeans.”

To announce 1791 denim, the company released a video, where a narrator says, “These were the first American blue jeans. The jeans that built America. And they were built in America.”

In July, Beck said his company approached a North Carolina mill that produced fabric for Levi’s in the 1800s and then found a factory in Kentucky to make the denim jeans.

“It has copper rivets, it has the button fly, it has the exact fabric that, if you’re my age, you grew up with. The exact fabric that the miners used to use in the 1800s.”

Beck announced last year that he was boycotting Levi’s jeans after an ad campaign he described as glorify “revolution” circulated. He started his company in 2011 after leaving his anchor seat at Fox News -- 1791signifies the year the Bill of Rights was ratified. Beck claims his new line of jeans will “reclaim the lost art of making quality American clothing.”
