Men’s vintage denim runs small. Rule of thumb is to add 2-3 to your modern women’s size to approximate the waist, as a starting point.

*Measurements taken flat across, must compare to your own before purchasing (ALL SALES FINAL)
Hip is measured below the j-stitch at the widest part of the pant (see second to last photo)

DETAILS
- Vintage Levi's 501 red tab
- Made in the USA in the late 70s/early 80s
- 100% cotton denim that will last for decades more
- Medium stonewash for that classic, perfectly worn-in blue jean look (+ beautiful creasing and double stitch back pockets!)
- Disclosures: please note this pair has been tapered by the previous owner (tapering begins 11 inches up from the hem). This will give more of a cigarette jean style (slim straight)

*Color may appear a bit lighter or darker in less or more natural light and from different angles

SIZING SNAPSHOT
Estimated translation to modern women’s sizing (general guidance only): 22/23 (XXS)

ABOUT THE STYLE
Levi’s 501: Levi’s most iconic and timeless style that only gets better with time. Signature button fly, slightly higher mid-rise, straight fit through the hips and thighs, and a straight leg. The back panel is cut wider than the front giving a nice hug and lift to the tush. Button fly tends to be a bit more flexible and forgiving than a zipper fly.

DISCLAIMERS & EXPECTATIONS
Please see the TEC Denim FAQ page for more info, including how to take your measurements and figure out fit, whether you’re going for snug and snatched, relaxed/boyfriend, or slouchy and oversized.

The majority of vintage Levi’s were made for men and are now smaller than the tagged size, making it a bit tricky to navigate sizing. Best practice is to compare the provided measurements to your own body measurements as well as a pair of jeans you have at home and feel great in (100% cotton with no stretch, a similar rise and freshly washed for best accuracy).

All sales are final and not eligible for cancellations, refunds or exchanges. Please check provided measurements (not tag size), photos and description closely before purchasing.

As with any one-of-a-kind vintage item, signs of wear are to be expected. This may include fading, fraying, rips, holes, distressing, staining and/or marks. All part of the charm of character and patina, and I do my best to flag any major flaws. Each pair has been laundered and will arrive ready to wear. Domestic shipping is on me!

Any questions? My DMs are always open! I’d love to talk all things vintage USA made Levi’s and help find your perfect pair.
