Levi’s has come a long way from its first pair of blue jeans, which were created for the American worker in 1873. Levi’s iconic jeans have been worn by miners, cowboys, rock stars, presidents and everyday people - for work and play. Levi’s Vintage Clothing 501® 1954 Jeans are inspired by archival designs, made from raw, unwashed denim for a durable, rigid feel.
