Orslow’s take on the classic Levi’s 501 Model 66 pays homage to one of the most iconic denim styles that helped transition jeans from practical workwear to a staple of fashion. Originally produced between 1966 and 1971, this version is known for replacing the rivets on the back pockets with bartacks, setting a new trend in denim design.
Key Features:
- Material: Made from a 14oz rinsed selvedge denim, which offers a rougher texture compared to Orslow’s classic 105 model. This fabric is specifically designed to fade authentically, reminiscent of 1960s denim.
- Fit: Features a slightly higher rise with a relaxed top block and a clean silhouette, ending with a very light taper for a modern yet classic look.
- Design Elements:
- 100% Cotton: Ensures durability and comfort.
- One Wash: Pre-rinsed to prevent significant shrinkage and provide a soft, broken-in feel from the first wear.
- Paper Patch: A nod to vintage aesthetics, adding a touch of authenticity.
- 4+1 Button Fly: Traditional button fly closure with durable construction.
- Copper Rivets: Reinforced at key stress points for added durability.
Made in Japan, these jeans embody Orslow’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, capturing the essence of vintage American denim with a modern twist. Perfect for those seeking a timeless, versatile jean with a touch of historical significance.
