About this Style

Crank it up. Levi’s® Vintage Clothing presents Fall/Winter 2020, a tribute to the ’80s Louisville underground music scene that ultimately paved the way for Seattle’s transformative grunge scene. Their uniform of choice was a pair of classic ’80s Levi’s® 501® Jeans mixed with strong graphic elements and DIY attitude. With this collection, we celebrate these artists and the legacy they left behind.


You know 501® Originals when you see them, but this one is a tribute to the ultimate thrill-seekers of the 1950s: bikers. The Levi’s® Vintage Clothing 1955 501® Jean has a distinct “anti-fit” (or, slightly looser cut that stands in opposition to slimmer and skinnier styles) in the seat, as well as slightly fuller cut around the leg and an overall boxier silhouette. This version of the 501® still retains some classic features of its 1947 predecessor: belt loops as the only method of waist adjustment, hidden copper rivets on the back pockets, and a zinc button fly. This pair features rip and repair detailing, along with whiskering and fading for an authentically worn-in look.


  • A classic 1950s biker style with an “anti-fit" in the seat, slightly fuller cut around the leg and a boxier silhouette
  • The first to bear the Two Horse Pull on a sturdy, leather-like paper label instead of leather

  • Regular fit through the thigh
  • Sits at your waist
  • Front rise: 12.75"

Please restock!

The best jeans I have ever purchased in my life. I am a size W28 x L30 and own the "Rigid - Dark Wash" and "The Big Deal - Medium Wash," but deeply regret not purchasing the "Black Lizard - Black" color when it was released with "The Shocking Truth" collection in the fall/winter of 2021. The shocking truth is I wish the "Black Lizard - Black" would be restocked one day... 😔

Real deal

I bought these in a 36 waist expecting them to be shrink to fit but they weren't - these are sanforized so they won't shrink anymore folks! Nevertheless, I bought them in my normal size (34) and they're the best 501's I've had in a long while. The fit is more boxy, with a bit of a wider leg, which I like. The selvedge ID is hard to see under the black overdye but it still looks dope. Soft and yet structured 10/10

Best non raw denim in decades. Love It.

4 years ago
My pair was made in Bulgaria, with beautiful mid-wash red line selvedge denim, the relaxed cut, and the soft 100% cotton made it very comfortable. I'm 5'6" and ordered 30Wx 34L LVC 1955 in Dragnet Blue. I have bought 34L rigid items before and shrank in the first soak. But it wasn't possible this time with sanforized denim so, at first, I asked for a return. But loved the denim (color, softness) and changed my mind, instead I tailor hemmed and could not be happier with the result. The most beautiful denim in decades. Thank you Levi's.

Great Light Selvedge

4 years ago
Ignore the photo in the listing. It does these jeans no justice. The color on these is phenomenal if you are looking for slightly faded selvedge and the fit is as described. Not your typical 501 fit but something more appropriate for someone who prefers a looser fit. Pricey but worth it.

Mon époque

5 years ago
Je viens de mettre ce nouveau...ancien LEVI'S.Je suis né en 48 donc c' est un modèle de mon époque. J'ai commencé à mettre des jeans vers l'année 65 donc c'est une longue histoire entre LEVI'S et moi. Un seul regret ..qu'il soit traité, je préférai à l'époque 'ils étais très foncé et le tissu très rigide...on faisait son Jean en le portant. Et un autre regret que je n'ai pas connu , a part dans des films américains...la salopette qui est ,je crois ,l'ancêtre du jean,un vêtement de travail . Cf: les raisins de la colère avec Henry Fonda
