The Levi’s® Vintage Clothing 1954 501® Jean was originally released as the “501® Z,” and represents Levi’s® expansion into new territory. In the mid-1950s, Levi’s® started selling its trademark 501® Jeans on the East Coast. Up to this point, Western states had been the primary s region since the jeans first came about in 1873, and there the garment had grown a loyal following. East Coasters, however, were largely unfamiliar with this button fly work pant. To make it more approachable for new wearers, Levi’s® introduced a new version. They took the original 501® Shrink-to-Fit™ Jean, 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. Retailers began providing customers with both options—the 501® Jean and its zippered brother, the 501® Z. Today Levi’s® has recreated the latter, to help tell their story of the 501® and its evolution through the decades.
