Albert Einstein dedicated his life to his work, not his wardrobe.

The late genius chose to keep it routine when it came to his look, presumably to concentrate on the bigger matters before him, but his style did include a love for Levi's.

In the mid-1930s, Einstein purchased a Levi's Menlo Cossack leather jacket, a signature piece he would wear for decades. It became synonymous with his early years in the United States, a time when his work achieved global fame.

In 2016, Levi Strauss & Co. placed the winning bid on the Einstein staple at Christie's Auction House in London. Weathered and creased with wear, the jacket also famously maintains a faint scent of sweet pipe tobacco that endlessly emanated from Einstein's pipe as he smoked incessantly.

Once the jacket made its way back to Levi Strauss & Co, the Levi's VIntage Clothing team went to work. They meticulously recreated the  garment for a limited-edition run. With this limited release, the reproduction of Albert Einstein's Levi's Menlo Cossack Jacket is now available.

With 1,100 jackets made worldwide, the Bellevue Square Levi's store has 5 available while supplies last.
