The 1955 501® jeans have a quintessential 50's shape, more anti-fit in the seat area with a slightly fuller straighter leg shape which gives them a boxier silhouette.
Around this time, teenagers began to use the terms ‘jeans’ instead of ‘overalls’.
This was the first 501® jeans to bear a leather-like Two Horse® patch with the familiar Levis® capital ‘E’ red Tab, Zinc button fly and copper rivets remaining as standard issue.
The denim is Xx50 Cone fabric, 14oz washed red selvage denim that is ring ring, pure indigo, 3x1 RHT construction.
