Levi's works together with Satisfy to launch the new Re-Possessed Climb Jeans. It visually looks just like the Levi's 501 jeans and the classics have essentially been reworked by Partouche. It is made from a limited range of 200 vintage 501 jeans that have each been picked by hand from the Levi's archive.
The silhouettes are exclusively made in the USA during the 80s and the 90s. Each product is carefully engineered with features that are specific to climbing. Other details include the belt system to add some adjustments as the back left pocket is finished with a chalk brush divider, giving climbers seamless access. The knee panels are made from Dyneema, which is considered the strongest fiber in the world.
