Product Description

"The Last Masterpiece of the 90s, Just Before the Closure of the Legendary Valencia Factory"

This is a Levi's 501, MADE IN U.S.A., from September 1999, that was my go-to pair.

The back of the top button is stamped with "555" (Valencia Factory), a holy grail for denim enthusiasts.

It uses denim fabric perfected at the end of the same factory, which closed in 2002.

【Condition: Seriously Cool】

As a result of wearing these as my go-to pair, the characteristic "rough vertical fading" and "crisp whiskers" of Valencia-made denim have been achieved.

There is a crash on the left knee, but this is the true essence of vintage.

The fabric thickness is still well-preserved, and it has the potential to be a lifetime piece.

【From the Seller】

Valencia-made jeans with the "555" stamp are increasing in value to the point where they can be considered an investment.

Especially the 1999 model, with its 80s-era feel and durability, is highly regarded among professionals as a "practical vintage" piece.

I have no intention of selling at a discount. Please consider this only if you appreciate the "coolness" of this go-to pair and can share its value.
