These most recent products are the culmination of Levi's ongoing efforts to design products that are environmentally friendly. It would have been unimaginable of ten years ago for the Plant-Based 501 to be built of at least 97% plant-based materials. The jeans have natural colors, a plant-based patch, ink made from wood waste, and certified organic cotton. This environmentally responsible design emphasizes the importance of using renewable materials in the production of clothing and tackles the urgent need to reduce the usage of synthetic materials made from fossil fuels.
The Plant-Based 501's features are nothing short of amazing. 100% OCS-Certified organic cotton that has been farmed for the fabric has been dyed with Stony Creek Colors' plant-based indigo. The denim colour is a nod to the classic Levi's X80 tint, paying homage to the brand's illustrious past while embracing a more environmentally friendly present. To make sure the jeans are truly sustainable and environmentally conscientious, every aspect has been carefully chosen.
In addition to the Plant-Based 501, Levi's has also released the Selvedge 501, a hemp-cotton blend, which upholds the company's dedication to employing alternative fibers, such cottonized hemp, to lessen its negative environmental impact. These jeans combine excellent selvedge fabric with the environmentally friendly innovations of the Wellthread range, and are offered in a variety of colors and finishes for both men and women.
