Its internal label retains Japanese care instructions and the name Levi Strauss Japan K.K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fading is the defining feature. Horizontal whiskers (hige) cross the waist and upper thighs, giving way to pale blue through the thighs and knees. Darker indigo remains around the pockets, seams and lower legs, while honeycomb fading (hachinosu) marks the backs of the knees. These contrasts bring depth to a simple outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actual waist measures 80 cm (31.50 in), with an 85 cm (33.46 in) inseam and a 19 cm (7.48 in) hem width measured flat. The proportions and remaining leg length are part of this pair’s appeal. The label reads W33 L36, but this is not its current measured size: please use the measurements below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair has damage. It is offered for those who value the history of USA-made 501s and the particular beauty of naturally worn denim. No two pairs develop exactly the same fading. If these proportions and this patina speak to you, consider this individual pair while it is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Levi’s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct code: 501-0000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1990s, manufactured December 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory: San Angelo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Japanese distributor: Levi’s Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Faded indigo blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel size: W33 L36; differs from actual measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Button fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop button back stamp: 552\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket lining bears an irregular stamp; red tab is missing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eActual Measurements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist circumference: 80 cm \/ approx. 31.50 in (40 cm \/ 15.75 in measured flat × 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRise: 29.5 cm \/ approx. 11.61 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInseam: 85 cm \/ approx. 33.46 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThigh width, measured flat: 25 cm \/ approx. 9.84 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHem width, measured flat: 19 cm \/ approx. 7.48 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 110 cm \/ approx. 43.31 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInch values are approximate conversions from centimeters.

The rear pockets have wear and fraying, with a tear below the right rear pocket exposing the pocket lining. The fabric across the seat has become thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crotch and inner-leg seams and the buttonhole areas show abrasion and fraying. Both hems have wear, tears and loose threads. The waist patch is cracked, partly missing and has faded lettering. The red tab is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no repairs. The hems appear not to have been shortened, but this cannot be confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have washed this pair twice. A slight residual odor, thought to be associated with body oils and protein residue, remains. Please consider this carefully if you are sensitive to odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn irregular stamp is present on the pocket lining. The original reason for this classification and any connection to the missing red tab are unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the fabric is thin and torn in places, damage may worsen with wear or washing. Handle gently and avoid excessive strain or friction. This is a worn vintage item, not a pair in pristine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease order only if you understand and accept the disclosed condition.
