Levi's 501 (Made in Mexico, Apr 2001)

It's a 501 made in 2001, but it's a 90's model, so it's listed here as an old jeans. It is a parallel import made in Mexico. Even though it was made in Mexico, there is no particular change in the specifications, etc., compared to those made in the United States at the same time. Purchased in a rigid condition, but left intact after removing the glue, the color fading of jeans changed considerably due to the introduction of open-ended spun yarns from around 1980, but due to the influence of the vintage boom of that time, ring-spun yarns seemed to return in the latter half of the 1990s, and the one introduced here is also made from ring-spun yarns.
