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

Description:

Item: Original Levi’s 501 button-fly jeans in deep indigo denim. Classic straight-leg cut with red tab, arcuate back pocket stitching and original leather patch. This pair has that dense, rigid handle that only proper vintage 501s carry, with a clean silhouette and strong construction throughout.

Era: Late 1980s to early 1990s

Brand: Levi’s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Even, honest wear with no major faults. Denim remains structurally strong, seams are tight, and the colour still has excellent depth. This is the kind of wear people actively seek out in original Levi’s, giving character without compromising longevity.

Provenance Note:
501s from this period sit in the sweet spot of Levi’s production, where quality materials and traditional manufacturing were still standard. They were built as working garments, not fashion items, and that shows in how well they age. Pairs like this are the backbone of any serious vintage denim offering: timeless, wearable, and increasingly difficult to source in genuinely good 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.

Buying true vintage clothing:

We are a micro business and sadly cannot cover the cost of returns.
