1980s–1990s | Levi’s 550 | Made in USA | Black Denim Jeans – w30

Description:

Item: Classic Levi’s 550 jeans in black denim, featuring the relaxed, high-rise fit the model is known for. Zip fly, orange tab, copper rivets and leather waist patch. A slightly roomier silhouette through the seat and thigh with a strong straight leg, giving them that unmistakable late-80s to early-90s profile.

Era: Late 1980s to early 1990s.

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

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The denim remains solid and well structured with even wear throughout. No holes, no thinning and no weak points at stress areas. The black has softened naturally with age, giving depth and character rather than looking washed out.

Provenance Note:
The 550 is one of Levi’s most iconic late-20th-century fits, bridging classic workwear construction with the looser, more relaxed styling that defined the end of the 1980s and early 1990s. Made in USA examples like this represent the final era of domestic Levi’s production and carry a level of build quality that collectors actively seek out. They offer everyday wearability with real vintage credibility, sitting perfectly between heritage denim and modern styling.

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.
