To the Owner of this 501® jean,
1954: 501Z® Jean
In the mid 1950’s Levi Strauss & Co. Started selling the 501® jeans on America’s east coast for the first time (the western states had been the only sales territory since the jeans came out in 1873).Many folks had already been introduced to the jeans at dude ranches, but to some, this button fly work pant was something they had never encountered. In order to make potential consumers comfortable with the company’s products, LS&CO. introduced a zipper version of the button fly Shrink-To-Fit jeans in 1954 : the 501Z ®. It had everything longtime wearers loved: the silhouette, the tough but flexible fabrics, rivets, etc. Retailers carried both the 501® and its zippered brother, the 501Z® jeans, and everyone got the pair that worked best for them. The 501Z® jeans had many fans. It was given the new number 502 in 1967 and remained in the line until 1976, When the preshrunk jean outshone it in popularity. However, when it first came out, LS&CO. received a letter from an old timer somewhere in the west who wasn’t too thrilled with the innovation. The actual letter has disappeared, but company legend has it that the writer said; “Why the heck did you put a zipper in your jeans? It’s like peeing into the jaws of alligator.”

In summary, Levi's 501Z XX jeans are modern style jeans. Since the shape has been changed to have a slim shape since 1947
Considered to be a shape that is worn and looks modern, not too large, like pants that are worn for work, so the LVC 1954 jeans are considered to be popular jeans that must be worn from the LVC-1947 seriously.
