The Denime Lot. 224 66B Model reimagines the iconic 1966 Levi’s 501 in a bold black selvedge version, staying true to its heritage while introducing a distinctive new character.

Woven in Japan on traditional Toyoda shuttle looms, the 14.5oz denim is constructed using 7.3 × 7.3 yarns and dyed with sulphur, creating a deep black surface while preserving a white core. This construction allows for high-contrast fades over time, revealing a unique aging pattern with wear.

The construction faithfully reproduces vintage specifications, featuring core-spun yarn and chain stitching, key elements of the original 66 model. In line with 1966 details, rivets are replaced by bartacks, reflecting the subtle evolution in denim manufacturing of the era.

The silhouette is a regular straight fit with a slightly lower rise and a clean, streamlined leg—balancing vintage accuracy with everyday versatility.

Every detail, from the leather patch and stitching to the custom buttons, has been meticulously recreated by Warehouse & Co., capturing the essence of Denime’s early years and its dedication to authentic reproduction.

Fit Notes: Denime remains faithful to non-washed unsanforized (loomstate) denim, so it’s important to note that these jeans will shrink. We highly recommend soaking the jeans in warm water before first wear. Expect approximately 4 cm (1.5") of shrinkage in the waist and 7.5 cm (3") in the inseam after soaking, so please refer to the product size chart accordingly. This model fits true to size after shrinkage, meaning the tagged size closely matches the actual waist measurement once the shrinkage has occurred. Compared to most global American brands, sizing is similar, so you can take your usual size. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and taking shrinkage into account to find your perfect size.
