ABOUT THE STYLE
Levi’s 501xx: Levi’s most iconic and timeless style that only gets better with time. xx denotes made from shrink-to-fit denim, especially coveted for their extra snug fit and ability to mold to the body. 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 USA made vintage Levi’s and help find your perfect pair.
