Place In Space - Medium Wash - Non Stretch
Originally released as the '501 Z,' these Levi's Vintage Clothing 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, Levi's recreated the latter in classic selvedge denim to help tell the story of the 501 and its evolution through the decades.
