This is pair of second hand LVC 1954 501zXX jeans. They are made at the legendary Cone Mills White Oak. The factory sadly shut down 2017 which meant an end to a 112 year long partnership with Levi's.

The Levi's Vintage Clothing 1954 501 Jean, also known as the "501 Z", represents Levi's expansion into new territory. In the mid-1950's, Levi's started selling their trademark 501 Jeans on the East Coast. Up to this point, Western states had been their primary sales region since the jeans first came about in 1873, and there the garment had grown a loyal following. East Coasters, however, were largely unfamiliar with this button fly work pant. To make it more approachable for new wearers, Levi's introduced a new version.

They took the original 501 Shrink-to-Fit Jean, replaced the classic button fly with a zipper, and named it the "501 Z." It retained all the other details synonymous with a pair of Levis jeans. the famed fit, rivets, and tough denim. This jean is made with selvedge denim from Cone Mills of North Carolina a Levi's brand partner for over 100 years.

The 1954 501 model has a high rise with a narrow tapered leg. It is also the 501 fit reproduced today with the tightest fit.

These jeans are second hand and in great condition. They have been washed and have signs of wear.
