A pair of Levi's 501 from the 1960s, featuring a BIG E single-sided tab. Although the paper patch is missing, this is a genuine vintage 501 with all the classic details: even V stitch, red-line selvedge, single-needle stitching, and black bar tacks. What immediately catches the eye is the fading, a testament to years of wear. The whiskers etched from the thighs to the knees, and the honeycombs behind the knees, are the result of the intense wear and tear unique to right-hand twill denim, which has surfaced over time. The overall atmosphere is outstanding. The strong whiskers and honeycombs showcase the puckering characteristic of right-hand twill, giving this pair a unique presence that only comes from being worn in. There are repairs and distressing throughout, but these details actually enhance the value as "boro" (worn and mended), making this a standout piece in the increasingly expensive vintage denim market. The size is on the smaller side, but the silhouette is compact and beautiful, allowing for an overwhelming presence depending on the styling. It's a piece to be enjoyed by wearing, and also a historically valuable item for collectors. ● Details ・Era: 1960s ・Model: 501 BIG E ・Tab: Single-sided tab (BIG E) ・Even V / Red-line / Single-needle stitching / Black bar tacks ・Paper patch missing ● Size (measured flat) Waist: 67cm Rise: 26.5cm Inseam: 72.5cm Thigh width: 26.5cm Leg opening: 18.5cm ● Condition Repairs and distressing throughout.
