Levi’s 1954 501 Original Fit Selvedge Men’s Vintage Jeans 32×32

Description

Originally released as the 501 ® Z, these Levi’s ® Vintage Clothing 1954 501 ® jeans represent Levi’s ® expansion into new territory. Up to this point, Levi’s ® were primarily worn out West, where they had earned a loyal following. East Coasters, however, were largely unfamiliar with this button fly work pant. In order to familiarize the East Coast with this American classic, Levi’s ® took the original 501 ® Shrink-to-Fit Jean and replaced the classic button fly with a zipper, and named it the 501 ® Z. It retained all the other details loved by longtime wearers: the famed silhouette, rivets and tough-but-flexible denim. Eventually, retailers began providing customers with both options;the 501 ® jean and its zippered brother, the 501 ® Z. Today, we recreated the latter in classic selvedge denim for these 1954 501 ® jeans to help tell the story of the 501 ® and its evolution through the decades. The only 501 ® with a zipper instead of a button fly, originally released as the 501 ® Z This jean retains the famed silhouette, rivets and tough-but-flexible denim loved by longtime wearers We worked with a Japanese artisan mill to painstakingly recreate 1950s Levi ™s ® selvedge denim Double-needle arcuate stitching Two back pockets with concealed rivets We made this garment with organically grown cotton
