LEVI’S VINTAGE CLOTHING 501XX 1955 Reproduction Model W32 Product Description New, Unused Color: 0079/Indigo Rigid Size: 32inch From Levi's Vintage Clothing (LVC), a limited line that reproduces vintage models representing each era in the long history of Levi's, the pioneer of jeans, comes the 1955 reproduction model of the 501XX, which gained tremendous support from rebellious youths of the 50s as a "symbol of freedom and rebellion." This model features an "anti-fit" construction with more room around the waist and a wider straight silhouette than other 501 models. Efforts to improve productivity to meet increasing demand are evident, and the paper Two Horse patch, which was cheaper and more accessible than leather, was also introduced around this time. This model, with its distinctive box silhouette not found in other eras, has many fans and stands out among the 501s. Currently, it uses the finest selvedge denim from Kaihara, a leading Japanese manufacturer, and reproduces all these details. *This product is a rigid (unwashed) model, so it may shrink after washing. We recommend going up two inches from your usual size.
