1980s–1990s | Levi’s 550 | Made in USA | Black Denim Jeans – w28

Description:

Item: Classic Levi’s 550 black denim jeans with the signature relaxed fit, higher rise and fuller seat that defines the model. Zip fly, orange tab, leather waist patch and traditional five-pocket construction. Strong straight leg profile with a proper late-80s/early-90s silhouette.

Era: Late 1980s to early 1990s.

Brand: Levi Strauss & Co. – 550. Made in USA.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The denim remains robust with no thinning, holes or weak stress points. Even, natural fade to the black giving depth and softness rather than a washed-out look. Honest wear that adds character and is exactly what collectors look for.

Provenance Note:
The 550 sits at the crossroads between classic Levi’s workwear and the relaxed, looser styling that defined the end of the 1980s and early 1990s. Made in USA examples like this represent the final period of domestic Levi’s production, prized for their construction quality and durability. They offer everyday wearability with genuine vintage integrity, making them one of the strongest all-round cuts for both collectors and modern wardrobes.

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.
