150 YEARS OF LEVI'S 501

Humble beginnings can only ever lead to great success. The GOAT status of Levi’s 501 is a testament to that, stamped and sealed by everyone from presidents, builders, and biker gangs to beatniks, popstars, and supermodels.

To celebrate this, Levi’s Vintage Clothing has decided to release a special Japan edition of its most popular 501 iterations, dating all the way back to its inception back in 1873.

Button fly, back patch, rivets, cinch; first offered in duck and denim.

Although they were originally considered workwear pants, over the decades, the 501s ended up being worn by:

Beat PoetsTeen rebelsPresidentsPunk bands like The RamonesRock n’ Roll musiciansHollywood icons like Marlon Brando and Marilyn MonroeHip-hop artists like Run DMC
