LEVI’S® 505™ JEANS FOR MEN
Introduced in 1967 as Levi’s® first preshrunk zippered jean. The men's Levi's® 505™ was our first denim style rooted in teenaged revolution instead of cowboys and rodeos that was used in marketing at the time. The Levi's® 505™ was born in the Summer of Love – 1967, it was only natural that the 505™ would form a deep connection with music. Rebels, outcasts, and misfits the world over embraced the jeans with the rise of punk rock in the late ’70s and early ’80s and were seen adorned on underground garage bands to commercially successful big-stage acts. Beloved for the classic straight leg style, the men's Levi's® 505™ is cut to sit at the waist with extra room in the thigh. It falls straight down to the ankle and has a 16.5" leg opening. The versatility of the straight leg is great for all body types with a few options crafted with elastane giving the 505™ a nice range of motion and comfort. It's perfect for our big and tall fans as well as those who aren't enthusiasts of the button-fly, nor jeans that fit skinny or baggy. Styling the Levi's® 505™ jean for men is easy and effortless.

It pairs well with everything from shirts, sweaters, trucker jackets and outerwear.
