LEVI'S 505 Up for sale is a pair of 66前期 (66 pre-transition) Levi's 505 jeans. These are highly sought-after vintage Levi's 505 jeans. While produced around the same time as the 501 66前期, the details differ, reflecting the 505 construction. The 505 is characterized by its 42 Talon brass zipper fly, a slightly tapered silhouette, and denim fabric known for minimal shrinkage. A notable feature is the red selvedge. Since red selvedge is not typically found on the 505, its rarity is estimated to be only one in several dozen pairs. The condition is very good, with only minor wear on the crotch area and a small repair. There is no wear on the hem. Details include yellow chain stitching on the hem, single-stitch construction on the coin pocket and back pocket linings. The top button has a number 5 on the back. Unfortunately, the inner tag is faded and unreadable. You don't often see a 505 in such good condition, especially in a near-golden size, and with red selvedge to boot! If you're interested, please consider purchasing. Waist: 80cm Length: 71cm *The condition is on par with what you'd find in a used clothing store or vintage shop. Please refrain from purchasing if you are unfamiliar with vintage clothing or are overly sensitive to imperfections. I try my best to describe any damage in detail, but as I am a private seller, there may be oversights. If you have any concerns, please ask questions before purchasing.
