About this Style

Originally released as the "501® Z," these 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

A nice homage to vintage jeans!

9 months ago
This is my first purchase from Levi's and I've been looking for a good heritage-inspired style that would suit my wardrobe. Needless to say, the LVC 1954 jeans ticked all of my boxes except for one thing, I wish the rise would have been a bit higher. I usually tuck my shirts in and it's more flattering to have a higher rise for a tall and slender body like mine. Nevertheless, the jeans look and feels great. I can clearly tell the quality from touching the denim. As for the fit, it's a good thing that I did a little bit of research before buying it, because I would've gotten my usual size in jeans which is size 33. This is a shrink-to-fit jeans, meaning the jeans would shrink as soon as you wash it. That's why it is advisable to go 2 sizes up when choosing from the LVC collection. I wish AU Levi's website has more information about this especially for people buying online. Knowing about the nature of the jeans, I still went for size 34x34 (unfortunately, that's the only available size online) which weirdly enough fits about right on my waist pre-washed. After washing it with cold water, the hem now rest nicely on my ankle which is how I prefer it. The jeans is hugging just right on my legs as well and doesn't restrict my movements too much. The waist however, is a bit tight but still wearable. At least I can still tuck my tee or shirts in there without looking like a muffin. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase and would definitely get the bigger size as I'm eyeing the 1955 jeans for my next buy.

STF, BUT VERY TRUE TO SIZE

8 months ago
Unlike many other's experience with STF jeans, the waist on these were on the dot of measurement. In other words, I had to return. I normally wear 32 for all levis washed/treated jeans. So, I bought 33 for this particular jeans for shrinkage, but it already fit like tight 32, because the waist was 16.5'' flat. I hope levis QC manage sizing better.

These are selvedge. They shrink. When I saw that Levis FINALLY offered these in a 36 inseam I scooped a pair up. Then I get sent a 32W and 34 inseam. Returned. These also didn't come with the small history book my older pair of 1947's came with. I shouldn't be paying what I paid for these anyway.
