1990s Levi's 517

Made in USA

 

1971 model "Saddle man"

 

Manufactured in April 1999

((555 Factory number / 0999 .09 = month 99 = year "inside display tag image red frame"))

 

517 is rare in Levi's vintage reprints.

 

The factory number "555" is the Valencia factory (closed in 2002).

The Valencia factory has a long history of manufacturing Levi's, and Levi's made by the Valencia factory is popular in Japan.

The display tag on the inside is not "Made in USA" but "Made in SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA, U.S.A" where the Valencia factory is located.

※Condition

Good Condition.

Some rubbing on the crotch and hem. (image)

The side split of the out seam near the hem of the right leg and the denim inside the lock stitch are twisted. The stitch is not cut.

No problem in wearing.

 

The Levi's Book of the image is from autumn to winter 1999.

Around 1999, there were more reprints in Japan than they are now.

Of course, the 501 reprint is popular, but 517 etc. were also reprinted.

I've seen jeans for many years, but I rarely see this Levi's reprint 517.

Other than that, I think it's hard to find something that is in good condition and has a cool fade.
