Button fly, copper rivets, five pockets, arcuate stitching on both back pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe care tag dates it precisely: \u003cstrong\u003emodel 501, made 8\/82, factory 558\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the size at \u003cstrong\u003eW32 L33\u003c\/strong\u003e. Most vintage 501s cannot be pinned tighter than a decade; this one says the month on the label. The tag also carries the shrink-to-fit instruction - \u003cem\u003e\"no soak, no hot wash, wash alone before wearing, shrinks about 10%\"\u003c\/em\u003e - and the odd L33 inseam is itself a shrink-to-fit tell, since unwashed lengths were cut long to shrink down. The waist comes to 32 inches around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe red tab is a \u003cstrong\u003eblank Tab\u003c\/strong\u003e - the registered mark and no lettering. That is a deliberate Levi's production feature rather than a worn-off or counterfeit tab: Levi's holds the trademark on the shape of the Tab itself, and has to keep genuinely blank ones in production to maintain the registration. Around one pair in ten carries it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: worn, and the fade is the reason to want it. \u003cstrong\u003eThe hems have been cut\u003c\/strong\u003e - raw and frayed at both openings, not original, and priced accordingly rather than as an untouched pair. The denim itself is sound with no thinning at the seat or knees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMS","offers":[{"title":"32","offer_id":52328743862488,"sku":"SMS-0005","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/9099\/6440\/files\/0005-01_47876d2b-c533-47a6-aa63-e0f1e592b290.jpg?v=1788130670","url":"https:\/\/parkinglotrunway.com\/products\/levis-501-shrink-to-fit-jeans-1982-mid-blue-w32-l33","provider":"Parkway","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
