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.

The Levi’s® Vintage Clothing 1947 501® was the jean of a new generation, with a slimmer fit and no extraneous details like the cinch or suspender buttons. Watch pocket rivets (re)appeared, and, thanks to new double-needle technology, our famed Arcuate Stitching Design® could be produced on a larger scale with double-needle industrial technology. We’ve reproduced all of these details and even used the same 12oz Red Selvedge denim — this time in a light wash with fading, whiskering and destruction for an authentic look and feel.
