Late 80s - Early 90s USA Made Levi's 501 Paper Patch 553 Stamped W34

【Late 80s - Early 90s USA Made Levi's 501 Paper Patch 553 Factory, Superb Fade】

I'm selling a pair I've carefully owned, purchased from a vintage clothing store over 20 years ago.
This is a genuine "bubble era 501," an American-made 501 from around 1988-1992.
This is a highly sought-after item with the specifications and age that sell out instantly at vintage shops!

▼ Age Identification Points
・Paper patch (not a leather patch, but a paper tag)
・Care tag 501-0115 (white background with red letters, from 1986 onwards)
・Red tab "LEVI'S" with R mark
・Copper-colored hidden rivets
・Button back with 553 stamp
・MADE IN U.S.A.

▼ Color Fading & Condition (Described Honestly)
It has a superb vertical fade with beautiful whiskers and honeycombs.
The natural aging over 20+ years has created a fantastic contrast in shades, making it a really cool piece.

【Points of Concern】
・There is a faint stain on the lower left thigh area (photos 8 & 9)
→ I considered taking it to a dry cleaner, but I was worried about the color fading, so I left it as is.
・There are 1cm tears on both hems.
→ Please check photos 6 & 7. They are not noticeable when worn.

Other than that, there are no major tears or holes!
This is undoubtedly one of the best-conditioned 501s from this era.

▼ Actual Size (Measured Flat)
Waist: Approximately 89cm (fits like W35 with some room)
Length: Approximately 79cm (including hem tears)
Thigh Width: Approximately 30cm / Hem Width: Approximately 21cm

The combination of paper patch x 553 factory x around the 90s x this color fade is the hottest right now.
Recent market prices for the same specifications are around 38,000 to 50,000 yen.

Immediate Purchase Price: 47,000 yen (including shipping)
I want to sell it to someone who genuinely wants it, so I welcome your bids!
