Vintage 501s │ Women's '80s Shrink To Fit Levi's 501s

This Levi's label is one of my favorites. It explains how washing Levi's in hot water shrinks the denim fit to your body and how the "more you wear them, the better they'll look and fit."

This is all true. I own several vintage pairs of 501s and even though they've already been shrunk to fit someone else, I can attest that the "better they'll look and fit" is 100% true.

I've only encountered this label twice in fifteen years. I believe they're very early '80s 501s made for women. The patina and wear on these is fabulous. It takes 40-plus years of wear and washing to get them to have this perfectly worn-in fade and look.

They're in the shop. ♥
