1980s–1990s | Levi’s 501-0115 | Made in USA | Button Fly Denim Jeans – w36

Description:

Item: Original Levi’s 501 button-fly jeans in deep indigo denim, identified by the 501-0115 code on the leather patch. Classic straight-leg cut with red tab, arcuate back pocket stitching and traditional five-pocket construction. A strong, honest pair with that dense, rigid denim feel that defined late-era vintage 501s.

Era: Late 1980s to early 1990s

Brand: Levi’s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Even, natural wear with no major structural issues. Denim remains strong, seams are intact, and the colour still has real depth. Light signs of use that add character rather than detract.

Provenance Note:
The 501-0115 code places these firmly in the final years of classic heavyweight 501 production, before denim weights and construction standards softened. This period is widely regarded as the last truly “old school” era for Levi’s, when the jeans were still built for longevity rather than fashion cycles. Pairs like this strike the perfect balance between wearability and collectability, offering authentic vintage denim that still has decades of life left in it.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
