About this Style

An homage to the ultimate thrill-seekers of the '50s: 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.

We pay tribute to the epitome of American rebellion with an archival reproduction of their jean of choice, crafted in premium selvedge denim.

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.
