A modern reinterpretation of the iconic 1966 Levi’s 501XX, CDW Lot 66 balances mid-century heritage with purposeful construction. This iteration is crafted from 14oz sanforized Japanese denim, offering a slightly more versatile weight while maintaining a gritty handfeel and subtle nep that promises high-contrast, characterful fades.
Staying true to the '66 transition, Lot 66 features the era-specific double straight stitch at the top of the fly, replacing the older V-stitch. The coin pocket is built with a vertically aligned selvedge seam—a deliberate detail that mimics a leg outseam, developing a distinct roping effect over time. In keeping with the original shift toward durability and comfort, hidden rivets have been omitted.
The fit is a classic straight taper: generous through the thigh with a clean, intentional narrowing toward the ankle. It is a silhouette designed for versatility, looking equally sharp whether cuffed or worn clean.

Sizing & Care
GET YOUR REGULAR SIZE. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
IMPORTANT: While this denim is sanforized, please be aware that it will still experience approximately 2" of shrinkage in the length (inseam) upon the first wash. We strongly advise washing your jeans before hemming to ensure the perfect final length.
