Levi's and BEAMS Reunite for the 501® Limited Edition Jeans
The eighth installment brings vintage-inspired crush and repair detailing to the iconic ‘501® Loose’ silhouette.
Summary
Levi's is teaming up with Japanese select shop BEAMS for the eighth volume of their exclusive denim partnership
The latest iteration features distressed crush and repair detailing inspired by worn-in vintage archival pieces
The collaborative release is constructed from 14 oz. 100% cotton denim in a fixed 32-inch length
Levi’s and Japanese retail pioneer BEAMS have officially joined forces again to launch the highly anticipated 501® BEAMS Limited Edition. This eighth collaborative volume takes the American denim label’s classic icon and infuses it with a distinct vintage attitude.
For this latest project, the duo selected the signature 501® Loose as their blank canvas. As the first loose-fit model in 501® history, the silhouette delivers a roomy, relaxed cut from the hips down to the leg openings while retaining historic details like the traditional button-fly setup.
The stand-out feature of this release is its elaborate, aged treatment. The denim is heavily styled with bold crush processing and meticulous repair patches designed to replicate the natural wear and character of well-traveled vintage jeans. Built from sturdy 14 oz. 100% cotton denim, the limited-edition jeans are finished in a pre-set 32-inch leg length to ensure a contemporary, stacked drape.
The Levi’s 501® BEAMS Limited Edition drops in Japan on July 17, 2026, exclusively through BEAMS retail locations and their official web store.
