1980s–1990s | Levi’s 501 | Button Fly Denim Jeans | Made in USA – w34

Description:

Item: Original Levi’s 501 button-fly jeans in classic mid-to-deep indigo denim. Traditional straight-leg cut with red tab, arcuate back pocket stitching and original leather patch. Strong structure throughout with that dense, rigid handle typical of proper vintage 501 denim.

Era: Late 1980s to early 1990s

Brand: Levi’s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Even, honest wear with no structural issues. The denim remains strong, seams are tight, and the colour still holds excellent depth. Exactly the sort of natural wear that gives vintage Levi’s their character without compromising durability.

Provenance Note:
501s from this era represent the final chapter of Levi’s traditional manufacturing before major changes in production. Built as working garments, they age with a depth and integrity modern denim simply does not replicate. Pairs like this sit at the heart of serious vintage denim collecting: timeless, wearable, and increasingly hard to find in clean, original condition.

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.
