LEVI'S Jeans 501 Vintage Clothing 1954 navy

Originally launched as the "501® Z", these 1954 Levi's® Vintage Clothing 501® jeans represent the expansion of Levi's® into new territories. Up to that point, Levi's® had been worn primarily in the West, where it had gained a loyal following. However, the East Coast was unfamiliar with this button fly work pant. To familiarise 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 zip and named it the "501® Z". He kept all the other details that longtime wearers loved: the famous silhouette, the rivets, and the tough but supple denim. Eventually, shops across the country began offering customers both options: the 501® jean and its zip-up sibling, the 501® Z. Today, for the 1954 501® jeans, we've recreated the latter in a classic selvedge denim fabric to help tell the story of the 501® and its evolution over the decades.

• The only 501® with a zip instead of a button fly, originally released as the "501® Z".
• This jean retains the famous silhouette, rivets and tough but supple denim that jeans lovers love.
• We worked with a Japanese artisan mill to painstakingly recreate Levi's® denim stitching from the 1950s.
• Double-stitched arched stitching
• Two back pockets with hidden rivets
• Red Tab? with capital "E" on one side only
• Emblematic two-horse leather patch
• Better garments. Better choices. We've made this garment with organically grown cotton, which uses no synthetic pesticides and saves water.

Levi's brand products are made with processes focused on reducing environmental impact through less aggressive and sustainable practices in all areas.
