The 1955 501 jeans have a quintessential 50’s shape – more anti fit in the area and a slightly fuller and straighter leg shape give them a boxier silhouette. Around this time, teenagers began to use the term ‘jeans’ instead of ‘overalls’. This was the first 501 jeans to bear a leather-like Two Horse patch. The familiar levi’s capital ‘E’ Red Tab, zinc button fly and copper rivets remain standard issue.These look particularly good worn low and loose with brogues and a blazer for that well loved rock-a-billy preppy look!!!
