In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Levi’s, the 1937 “Japan” 501 commemorates the brand’s historic shrink-to-fit fabrics being produced in Japan. Only 501 hand-numbered pairs of these jeans will be available to shop worldwide.
The 1937 Katakana 501 perfectly marries the cultural impact of the 501 with Japan’s advanced knowledge of selvedge denim which, is used to produce this hand-numbered, limited-edition drop.
The timeless reproduction features back pockets with concealed rivets, a cinch back tab, and single-needle arcuate stitching. Even the buttons and its trusted big “E” Red Tab™ are translated into one of Japan’s three alphabets, Katakana.
