This 501 is chosen not for flashy fading or obvious rarity, but for its "quiet coolness." A navy-colored 501. It doesn't have the vertical fading like indigo, but instead, the whole thing has a uniformly faded blue-gray tone. It's not as heavy as black, nor is it as casual as indigo. This balance of mid-tones is the biggest appeal of these jeans. It's the accumulation of time itself, something that can't be replicated with new or current products. - Clean with a white tee or shirt - Mature with knitwear or leather - Roll up the cuffs for a lighter look Depending on the items you pair it with, it's a 501 that you can enjoy for a long time while changing its expression. Moreover, it's an original made in the USA. The fabric and sewing, which are not found in current 501s, and this calm color, make it the kind that you "end up choosing" the more you wear it. It's not overly assertive. But it will definitely remain in your wardrobe. It's a 501 for adults like that. ⸻ Actual Size - Waist: Approximately 39cm (flat) → W31 equivalent - Inseam: Approximately 84cm → L33 equivalent *Please note that there may be slight variations. ⸻ Condition - Uniform fading throughout - Color fading unique to product dyeing is a nice touch. - Slight fraying at the hem (no problem for wear) - Good condition as a vintage item ⸻ Recommended for those who: ✔ Already own indigo 501s ✔ Find black a little too heavy ✔ Want to choose a "long-lasting pair" over flashiness
