A perfect reproduction of the early Levi's archives worn by Arizona miners. The name is "Homer Campbell 501®".

In 1917, Homer Campbell, a miner in Arizona, USA, was hard at work wearing the riveted "501® overalls" sold by Levi's®.

After wearing them six days a week for three years, except on Sundays, they naturally fell apart. He found the brand's advertisement at the time, "If you tear a pair, we'll replace it with a new one free of charge," so he packed up his 501® overalls and mailed them to Levi's. The brand's logo on the back of his 501® overalls was "501® Overalls.

The one sent by Homer was recognized as one of the earliest collections in the archives owned by "Levi's®". It may be no exaggeration to say that he was the man who wore the most Levi's® in the world every day until they were falling apart.

I have already said a long time ago, but what will be released this time is a faithful reproduction of such an ultimate pair of shoes. It is called "Homer Campbell 501®.

Homer Campbell 501®.

The unique patchwork, interchanged buttons, and stitching applied by Homer are all presented without compromise.


The silhouette is a relatively slim straight fit with a high rise. The design works well, so it can be worn cool just with a simple top.

Incidentally, this is the original "Levi's® 501®" circa 1917.

They have been exhibited in various locations around the world, from the opening event of Disneyland in the 1950s to an exhibit at the Bundeskunsthalle, the national museum in Germany, in 2019.

Incidentally, the "Homer Campbell 501®" also comes in a vintage-style parcel dated 1920 and postmarked Arizona, which is a nice touch.
