21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Jeans - Indigo Overdyed Black

£344.00

IH-1955S-OD
Waist: Please select waist
Our take on the iconic Levi's 1955 501 jean which we have overyded black. The 1955 cut has a high rise and tapers from the knee to the cuff. Whilst this is a relaxed, traditional cut, it is extremely flattering on many body types.

Fabric Focus

Sanforized, One-Washed & Overdyed

- Sanforization is a post-weave mechanical process which removes most potential shrinkage from a fabric before garment construction
- To further reduce the risk of shrinkage, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine.

- Following this, a high-temperature overdyeing process removes any remaining potential shrinkage
- This garment may fit slightly smaller than its non-overdyed counterpart. Please refer to our measurement charts carefully
- No further shrinkage is expected if washed in accordance with our guidelines

Stretch Details

- The waist will stretch out approximately 1" with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will stretch proportionally to the waist


Care Guidelines

- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry
