1980s–1990s | Levi’s | 501 Jeans – Made in USA (Ecru) - w38

Description:

Item: Rare ecru/off-white Made in USA Levi’s 501s from the 80s–90s era. Classic five-pocket rigid denim with button fly, straight leg and the heavier American-made handle that defines this period. Clean natural tone with subtle age that gives them real depth.

Era: 1980s–1990s

Brand: Levi’s

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear. Denim is strong with no holes or structural issues; gentle tonal variation and minor age marks typical of lighter denim from this era.

Provenance Note: Ecru 501s are far harder to source than classic blues, especially in pre-2003 USA-made production. The combination of rigid cotton, the iconic 501 cut and a rare colourway makes these a standout for collectors. Proper American denim with a soft natural fade that modern reproductions can’t quite match. A genuinely versatile vintage pair that elevates even simple fits.

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.

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.
