Hi, selling this pair of brand new Levi's 501's. These are reproductions of 501's from 1978. Medium rise and slim fitting. These are distressed and painted Made in USA cone denim. These are "stonewash" model so you probably don't have to worry much about any size changes after washing. Retails for $239 on Unionmade. Price shipped CONUS. Thanks for looking!
B.I.G. Method Measurements:
17.3" across waist
11" front Rise
14.5" back rise
33" inseam
12.6" thigh
9" knee
7.5" leg opening
More info:
"Indigo was a petroleum-based product in short supply so Cone Mills added sulfur to extend the dye of the jean. This resulted in a brighter blue that faded quicker with washing and wearing.

Jeans, such as the back pockets with bar tacks rather than rivets, are still present in the 1978 501
Jeans, but the late 70s model is a slimmer fitting jean than its predecessors with a lower rise and more tapered leg. It features a small “e” on the Red Tab for the first time, making all pre-1971 501
