Introducing a rare, low-production, American-made Levi's 517 "Red Letter" jeans. The button back number, 532, indicates these are made in the Knoxville, Tennessee factory in the USA. This factory is known for producing high-quality products, the same factory that often features the letter "K" or the number "18" on the button backs of vintage Levi's. The Red Letter 517 is a particularly appealing model, especially for its open-end yarn characteristics. The slightly slim silhouette and high-mounted back pockets further enhance the leg-lengthening effect. These 517s are perfect for shorter-legged Japanese people. The production period was around 1991-93, and the number of these jeans is extremely limited compared to regular 517s. The open-end yarn denim will likely never be reproduced, making these a valuable pair. Size W33, a golden size, with a great feel from the side seam fading and whiskers.
