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 Style # 501540110 Color: Dark Indigo Organic Selvedge - Dark Wash - Non Stretch How it Fits - 501 - Mid rise - Straight leg - Front rise: 11 1/4",Knee: 17 1/2",Leg opening: 15",Measurements based on size 32 Composition & Care - 100% Organic cotton - Selvedge - Non-stretch - Zip fly - 5-pocket styling - Imported
