History Loves Levis
Picture it. It’s the 1930’s/1940s and the Stafford’s (current owner’s grandfather and great grandfather) are headed to Colorado. It’s a vacation for the family and it takes them over a week to get to their destination. Once they arrive, Grandfather Stafford encounters a brand unknown to anyone in the Midwest.
This western regional brand has not made it east of Colorado and is primarily marketed to cowboys. They are called “LEVI’S”. In 1946, Grandpa Stafford makes a deal based on a handshake to start production of Levi’s at Lamy‘s facility here in Sedalia, MO. By 1948, Levi Strauss & Co. takes over all of Lamy’s manufacturing, distribution, and sales.
In the 1950s, a man by the name of James Dean is seen wearing a pair of Levi’s and people lose their minds. All of a sudden, these jeans are for more than just cowboys and everyone has to have a pair. Levi’s has the entire denim world in their hands until 1980 when another star comes into the scene. Who is it? Find out next week.
Levi’s Loves Every Body
In 2021, men, women, and children can all be found wearing Levi’s. From straight-legged to flare fit, there’s a style for everybody. Lamy’s also offers something for everybody and we remodeled this special place–making sure each and every person felt welcome, included, and thought of.
If it’s a night out, under the patio stars with the finest cocktails and weekend specials, No. 5 Bistro and Bar is your place. Feel free to dress up or dress down, just come dressed! The bar offers energetic surroundings in which patrons can enjoy one of our craft cocktail offerings or partake in a traditional favorite beverage of one’s choice.
If you’re feeling something lighter during the workweek, the OxHorn Market has you covered. Serving breakfast and lunch foods and drinks, our fresh, unique prepared foods can be enjoyed in our historic setting or carried out. No matter your pick, we know it’s gonna be good.
Everybody Loves Josey
A bold statement? Nah. Once you walk into Josey Record and Bookstore, you know you’re in the right place. We hear it all the time, “We came for the music and we left with 10-12 books we didn’t know we needed.” Josey just has a way of pulling you in. It may be the fact that you can grab a drink from the No. 5 Bar or a Kombucha from OxHorn market while you browse the latest in stock.
No matter your reason for stopping by, we know you will be hard-pressed to leave empty-handed. So grab a few friends, head on down to Lamy’s, and enjoy a stroll through this magical place for music and booklovers alike. See y’all there, where History Loves Company.
