1976 Levi’s USA 501 Selvedge Tag 31x34 Actual 29x30
The 501 - the most recognizable and popular jean in history! Straight leg. Button fly.
Selvedge redlines: holy grail of vintage Levi’s. self-edge: You can spot it on the cuffs of jeans. The selvedge in denim is usually white and often has a coloured yarn in the middle. This technical term actually ought to be spelled ‘self-edge.’ The term refers to the self-finished edges on each side of fabric woven on shuttle looms. These edges don’t fray or unravel. Highly desirable and more valuable.
*Originally men’s jeans, now & forevermore unisex*
MATERIAL: 100% Cotton
FLY: button
WASH: beautiful medium blue wash with awesome organic sun fades. Repairs to crotch and inseams of both ankle legs. These seem to have a pink tinge to them, almost as if it was on purpose that the previous owner washed them with a NEW red shirt to intentionally dye them?. Honestly, if they fit me, I would be keeping them because I think they are super unique looking.

EXPECTATIONS OF VINTAGE JEANS
Keep in mind, vintage jeans are not new jeans. Every pair is at least 20 years old, most are older. This means they’ve been worn and likely have signs of wear - i.e. thinning areas, loose threads, signs of previous repair work, discolorations, faint (or not so faint stains), organic distressing, wear at the rivets, wear at the button holes. I do my best to describe these areas/signs of wear&tear, so please - before you buy - understand that you may receive your jeans and there will be signs of aging. Most buy vintage jeans wanting this, but if you want pristine new looking jeans, vintage likely isn’t for you. And that’s A-OK!
