Levi's 501 straight leg jeans

Levi's 501 in a mid blue with a heavily lived-in fade: whiskering at the hips, honeycombs behind the knees, and the wash breaking lighter down the front of both legs. Button fly, copper rivets, the red tab at the right back pocket and the arcuate stitched across both.

The patch reads 501, W 32 L 36. That 36 inseam is the interesting part - a long inseam is scarce in secondhand 501s and usually survives unhemmed, as it has here.

The care tag carries Levi's WATER<LESS, a finishing process Levi's introduced in 2011, so this is a modern pair rather than a vintage one. The labelling is Korean-market. Worth saying plainly: the fade here is earned wear on a recent 501, not age.

Condition: worn, and the fade is the appeal. No flaws found.
