Based on the classic Levi’s 501 from 1955, this cut provides a similar fit to our relaxed tapered 888 style, with a more traditional silhouette. To achieve this, the 1955 cut features a slightly higher front rise, a fuller knee, and a little less taper to the hem. This means that—just like the highly coveted vintage Levi’s that came before them—these jeans offer a relaxed yet flattering fit for most body types, made here from our signature 21oz selvedge denim.

To create this darkened variation, we take a pair of standard IH-1955S jeans and steep the entire garment in black dye using a direct dyeing process. This stains the indigo denim and stitching, with the added bonus of removing all shrinkage from the fabric. A unique middle ground between our traditional indigo and black denims, over time the fabric will gradually fade with blue-tinged hues in high-wear areas.
