Levi's is celebrating the 145th anniversary of its signature 501 jeans with the '501 Day' collection. May 20th marks the day of the anniversary and the celebratory range is packed with the iconic denim silhouette in a variety of washes, as well as some graphic t-shirts. The collection highlights the classic button fly as the main focus of the entire range -- with the 501 trademark detail emphasized in a bright red hue to correlate with the theme. There are also multicolor options adorning the button fly, as well as a choice of metallic gold available as well.
Additional details include Levi's 501 branding embellished along the lining, the label's signature patch with two horses on the back and a custom "501 Day" printed tag on the waist. The 501 Day celebratory collection is now available online at Levi's Japan.
