The Denime 'Lot. 224' 66 Model is a cornerstone piece for vintage denim enthusiasts, faithfully recreating the iconic 1966 Levi’s 501 – a pivotal model known for its clean lines and refined construction.
Since 1988, Denime has built its reputation on precise reproductions of mid-century American denim, and under Warehouse & Co., this legacy reaches new levels of authenticity and craftsmanship.
The 14.5oz selvedge denim is developed in collaboration with Kurabo Industries, using uneven, ring-spun yarns based on vintage recipes. The yarns are rope-dyed in indigo, and treated with Warehouse’s low-temperature refining process, preserving a white core while saturating the exterior – resulting in high-contrast fading over time.
Woven on vintage Toyoda GL3 shuttle looms, the fabric features a subtly uneven texture with a classic, vintage feel.
The 224 fit, inspired by the 1966 model, offers a mid-high rise with a straight leg and slight taper from the knee down, making it a versatile silhouette suitable for a wide range of body types. In line with the original design, rivets are replaced by bartacks, reflecting Levi’s innovation at the time.
Every detail – from the paper patch and stitching to the custom iron buttons – has been carefully reproduced to capture the essence of Denime’s founding era.
