Collection: Levi’s® Vintage Clothing

THE TRUE BLUE COLLAR JACKET

Considered the unofficial uniform of the American working man (and Depression-era non-working man), this jacket is cut from rigid selvedge denim with a double-pleated front and a single chest pocket. It’s the first year the big “E” Red Tab™ is added to Levi’s® products.

THE JEAN FOR A CHANGING TIME

Levi’s® meets post-war demand with slimmer jeans still removed of details like suspender buttons, cinch and crotch rivet (good riddance!). Thanks to new double-needle technology, the Arcuate is no longer dependent on the skill of the sewing machine operator.

THE JEAN WITH A ZIP FLY

THE TRUCKER JACKET FOR NONCONFORMISTS

The Beat Poets offer visions counter to consumerism and a boxing legend throws his first punch. As Levi’s® expands to the East Coast, so does their denim offering. In 1954, Levi’s® introduces the 501® Z, a zippered version of the Shrink-To-Fit™ 501® Original.

THE JEAN FIT FOR REBELS

By 1955, 501® jeans have a more “anti-fit” in the seat, a fuller leg and a boxier silhouette reminiscent of the classic biker look. This is the first style to bear the leather-like “Two Horse Pull” patch, and the signature Red Tab™ now says LEVI’S® on both sides.
