Our take on the iconic Levi's 1955 501 jean, the 1955 has a high rise and tapers from the knee to the cuff, made from 21oz “Superblack" selvedge denim. If a stealth look is your thing, this is the denim for you. Both the warp and weft yarns are reactive dyed — far more colourfast than our sulphur-dyed fabrics — designed to retain their deep black hue through wear and washing. Utilising a double-twisted weft yarn and lower tension weave, our 21oz denim fabrics are heavy and tough, yet soft and breathable — creating a pair of jeans that mould to the wearer’s body shape like no other.

Fabric Focus

Sanforized & One-Washed

- 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. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
- No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care 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
