Rare and highly sought-after 70s 505 66前期 (early 66) with 16 buttons. Furthermore, a big size is rare. The fabric is dark and has the rough vertical fading characteristic of the 16-button version. There are also oil stains, giving it a great vintage feel, aura, and atmosphere. The fabric seems to be generally sturdy. The zipper opens and closes smoothly. Flat measurements (approximate), measured by a layman, please allow for some error. Waist: 54cm x 2 Inseam: 78cm Rise: 36cm Thigh (0cm below the crotch): 35.5cm Hem width: 22cm Total length (side): 111cm No repairs. There is some wear on the hem from rolling up, but no holes or tears. There is wear on the belt loops, and some are slightly weakened. There are oil stains in places. Other than that, there are the usual scuffs, scratches, wear, and stains characteristic of vintage denim, but I think it's acceptable for those who are used to used clothing and vintage denim. *Please be sure to check the images and make your own judgment. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous person or do not understand vintage denim. *Because it is a layman's inspection, there may be oversights.
