Levi's 501 (36)
Iconic Levi's 501. A little fact: the vintage 501 model, especially small sizes, is becoming rarer and harder to find. It is expected that the value of these jeans will continue to go up.
This investment piece features the iconic Levi's 501 paper patch, a straight fit and button fly fastening.

Condition Chart
Every piece on Untitled 1991 gets carefully curated, assessed and authenticated. Kindly carefully view the photos and read the description of the piece. Here we do our best to disclose any flaws that might be associated with each garment or accessory.
Remember that all items we sell were preloved and may show signs of minor wear, and to true vintage lovers they are all the better for it.

Virtually no wear, mostly refers to vintage that has never been worn.
Excellent
Expected signs of wear, with consideration of the age, but hardly any signs of wear.
Very Good
Shows normal signs of wear expected for age with some minor visible problems but will not detract from wear.
Good
Garment has an obvious condition, but overall intact. Could use mending and/or cleaning.
Measurement Guide
We hand measure every garment and accessory so that you can ensure the perfect fit.
Please bear in mind that sizing labels on vintage garments and standardised measurements of clothing have changed over the decades and also vary between countries.
We have included visual illustrations of how we measure our garments and advise that you measure yourself the same way (in cm).
If possible, it is also helpful to measure a similar garment you know fits well to compare proportions.
