Levi's 501 Vintage High Waist Jeans

Levi's 501 Vintage High Waist Jeans

This is a true mid-90s USA pair made from sturdy but very pleasant 100% cotton denim, giving that classic, structured vintage silhouette, with flawless, vibrant mid-blue wash. While originally a men's 501, the measurements make these a perfect women's vintage fit: a high 29 cm rise with comfortable room through the hips, falling into the classic 501 slightly tapered straight leg. The leg has been shortened to a 69 cm inseam, making it a great ankle-length cut. Made in the USA in June 1995 (Knoxville, TN - factory code 532). Excellent vintage condition with completely healthy denim. There are only very light, natural wear marks along the leg seams. As mentioned, the hem has been shortened by machine. Tagged size: W31 L30. (With the high rise and shortened length, please check the measurements - Vintage USA denim runs small. Based on measurements, the waist fits closer to a true W30, and the shortened length is exactly an L27).
