Levi’s Drops Another Special-Edition Japanese Model: The 1922 501XX
After delivering a full Spring/Summer 2024 “Made in Japan” collection back in February, Levi’s is back with another must-have release. This time, it’s the highly-anticipated 1922 501XX jeans.
Stitch-for-Stitch Replication of Archival Design
Crafted with Levi’s Vintage Clothing’s Shrink-to-Fit plain selvedge denim, the 1922 501XX is a faithful recreation of the original 1922 Levi’s 501 jeans. This was the first year that the iconic brand added belt loops to their flagship design.
Attention to Detail
Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the buttons on the front and back of the waistline have been preserved as suspender loops. The center-back cinch also allows for an adjustable fit. And to top it off, the jeans feature exposed rivets and a single-needle arcuate illustration on the back pockets.
Expanding the Made-in-Japan Collection
Levi’s continues to expand their lineup of Made-in-Japan trousers, which now includes versions of the 1980s 501 jeans, the 505 Regular Fit, the 511, the 512, the 502, and more. This season, the 501 model has been updated with an “Atlas” patch resembling a map of the Earth and small stitches down the leg.
Limited Release for Levi’s Red Tab Members
Levi’s Red Tab members will have the opportunity to pre-order the 1922 501XX jeans on August 29, before they go on general sale on August 30. But act fast, as the drop will be limited to just 800 units.
