The top photo of this article of the jeans with the golden buttons: > **[Why Do Jeans Have Rivets? | MakeYourOwnJeans](https://www.makeyourownjeans.com/blog/why-do-jeans-have-rivets/)** This isn’t a very good article by the way, but I tried to google image search the photo, and it’s clearly being used as a kind of stock photo in a bunch of blogs, etc. Is this a real brand of jeans? I tried to google the visible part of the brand name as well but had no luck. Thanks! ---

It looks like a brand called Denimite, but googling that name comes up with a bunch of articles about a company that recycles jeans by combining them with resin. ---

Yeah, “Denimite” seems to have been a Kickstarter that died in 2014 (no updates since then). The question remains, however, as to whether those are “real” jeans of some sort. ---

Doesn’t look like Denimite would fit the label, there’s gotta be more letters to the left for everything to be centered. Either way, that would be the particular model of jeans, but it looks like the brand is Clockhouse (CKH on the buttons). ---

Maybe Ckh. Denimite / Straight Fit? Anyway they are not fictional jeans 🙂 ---

What’s strange to me is that photo is of the buttons. A type of rivet I guess. But wouldn’t the question be about re-enforcing rivets? Levi’s has them at the pocket corners. ---

From the OP, it’s just a stock photo of jeans that the linked article happened to use. “This isn’t a very good article by the way, but I tried to google image search the photo, and it’s clearly being used as a kind of stock photo in a bunch of blogs, etc.” ---

Yes, it’s a picture of jeans not particularly relevant to the article. The photo features the button fly. I thought the jeans were pretty cool, so I bought the ones on Ebay for which I posted a link. They do not seem to use the logo on the buttons any more. I would date the jeans as from around 2014 or so. I think that was “peak button fly.” I had 7 for All Mankind jeans with a button fly then, and they don’t seem to use them any more. I even have khaki-type 5-pocket pants from that time with a button fly. (Of course, a lot of high-end jeans still use a button fly, but a lot of makers have seemed to give up on them…)
