Description
The definitive apex of American denim craftsmanship. These original Levi's 501 Selvedge "Redline" jeans are a high-liquidity archival specimen, featuring the legendary "Big E" (Capital E) red tab and the coveted "555" button stamp—verifying their production at the iconic Valencia Street Factory in San Francisco. This is a masterclass in indigo evolution, showcasing a natural, high-contrast patina that only decades of authentic heritage wear can produce. Finding a verified "Triple-Five" factory specimen in this structural state is a statistical anomaly. The garment features the signature red selvedge ID, hidden rivets, and the heavy-duty construction that defined the golden era of Levi Strauss & Co. This is a museum-grade investment piece for high-net-worth denim curators and archival fashion houses globally. ⸻ HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE The 501 Big E Redline is the institutional architect of global streetwear. The Valencia Street (555) production remains the most sought-after lineage in the vintage world. This garment is the true guardian of the history that connects: • VALENCIA STREET FACTORY: The sacred ground of Levi’s production, closed in 2002, making every "555" stamped piece a finite historical asset. • THE BIG E ERA: The most prestigious period of Levi’s branding, signifying superior textile density and indigo depth. • REDLINE SELVEDGE: The structural DNA of premium denim, representing the narrow-loom heritage that predates mass-market commercialization. • AMERICANA REBELLION: From Marlon Brando to the 90s archival revival, the 501 Big E remains the undisputed silhouette of cultural authority. ⸻ DETAILS ERA: Verified Archival Vintage (Big E / Redline Era) Identity: Levi's 501 (Valencia St. Factory / Button 555) Construction: Heavyweight Selvedge Denim (Redline ID) Hardware: Original "555" Stamped Button / Big E Red Tab Vibe: Institutional Americana / Indigo Archive / Museum Quality ⸻ MEASUREMENTS (Flat Lay) Tag Size: W30 L36 Waist: 30 inches Outseam: 43 inches Inseam: 33 inches Front Rise: 11 inches Thigh: 12.5 inches Leg Opening: 17 inches ⸻ CONDITION Museum-Grade "Indigo Evolution" state.
