1954 - Zipped Up Greasers

[@5150show]

Fantastic video

[@rileyramone6231]

I reckon these will be the next pair for my collection. Keep up the good work Den.

[@jworksuk]

The 1954 were my first pair of LVCs, I liked the fact that it had classic features like hidden rivets and leather patch, high wasit and it had a tapered leg. I wish it was a button fly thou.

[@denindenim]

I hear it. I wonder about the fit of the ‘53. The zipper is a nice one that doesn’t snag.

Love this model, I have a couple including the time tunnel color and the 1960 rumble, very good quality. Thanks for the video!

Favorite cut

I have the LVC 551Z from way back 1997. Great topics, again I will mention the rare LVC 501 1955 Customized with wide selvedge id made in Japan released 2021. It is my current favorite!

Great content again - thank you!

[@denindenim]

Thanks.

My favorite is so futuristic … 501z are totally contemporary Where you get the names ? I saw “names” on the tags of my 501z and 1944 501

[@pinocchiolizard]

Great videos man! Not a huge fan of zippered jeans either, but the history of Levi’s and workwear is fun nonetheless

[@denindenim]

Thanks! I love the history of it all too and it’s my favorite part of making the videos.

I love Levis 501

[@gabrielangelo9937]

What are the characteristics of a dungarees before labeling it as 501 XX? If a dungaree has a button fly it can be called 501, what characteristic that a denim should have before it can be labeled as XX? Hidden rivets at the back pockets? Thank you Den! =)

[@denindenim]

XX referred to the stronger 9 ounce denim made by Amoskeag mills in the 1870’s. They removed the XX in the 60’s.

[@denindenim]

12 oz today

I'm guessing you haven't shrunk yours yet, or do you plan on doing so, or not? Wouldn't they be to small on you if you did? love the vids!

[@denindenim]

Actually. They are New Rinse so they won’t shrink. It’s great for looking rigid but not staining clothes.

[@youtubeuser2894]

@@denindenim Oh wow.. the more you know! I just bought a pair of 1954 cone mills/made in usa pair (brand new!) off of ebay in a 31x32, and I'm a true 29.5-30x30.. any ideas how I should wash them to get the desired fit?

[@denindenim]

@@youtubeuser2894 tub soak or wear rigid with a belt until your sweat shrinks it. machine wash will shrink it too much.

[@francissalva9307]

Hi Den, do you know if Levis changed their jeans of the 501 evey year in the past?

[@denindenim]

Many years were the same as the previous.

[@theHerathrig]

whats rare and cooler the levis 1954 or 1966 ?

[@denindenim]

66 is much more rare. I like them more but if you don’t mind the zipper 54 is cool.

[@tyz893]

Where is homerun 54501z

[@cornpop8570]

Levi's quality has definitely gone down. 👎🏼
