A transatlantic partnership renews tradition as Levi’s and Japanese retailer BEAMS unveil a highly sought-after, limited-edition run of the iconic 501 jean in an exclusive “Dark Indigo” colorway.
This collaboration elevates the classic silhouette through meticulous craftsmanship and authentic heritage details. The denim is true selvedge, woven on old-fashioned shuttle looms, and treated with a single wash to reveal a distinct, elegant luster and substantial firmness. This process ensures the denim retains its character while offering a refined feel from the first wear.
The fit is a thoughtful update to the original: a straight cut featuring a slightly higher rise that grants a relaxed, comfortable silhouette with added room through the thighs and knees. It successfully bridges vintage proportions with a modern, effortless drape.
Adding to its collector status are period-correct vintage accents, including the coveted “BIG E” red tab, a classic button fly, and the traditional stitched leather patch. As a strict BEAMS exclusive, this premium 501 will be available only in 28-inch and 30-inch lengths. This release is a celebration of denim history, engineered for the contemporary enthusiast. The “Dark Indigo” is set to drop on November 21, 2025 online and in-store.
