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-FitT 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.

The only 501® with a zipper instead of a button fly, originally released as the "501® Z". This jean retains the famed silhouette, rivets and tough-but-flexible denim loved by longtime wearers.
