Second Hand LVC 505 Made in USA 555 Valencia Street Jeans W32/L32

This a pair of Second Hand LVC 505 Made in USA 555 Valencia Street Jeans in size W32/L32.

The 505 was released in 1967 and it was aimed to the youth. It's a normal/high waist with room in the seat and thigh, with a tapered leg. The fabric was sanforized. This pair 
is second hand and has been used and washed. They are in a great worn condition, some fading through out the jeans. These have a lot of life left in them.

These Levis Vintage Clothing jeans was made back in the year 1999 and part of the first few years when Levi's started the reproduction line Levis Vintage Clothing back in 1996. Back then they made all the garments in their old factory located on Valencia Street in San Fransisco.

The factory on Valencia Street was opened as the new headquarter and main production facility for Levis back in 1906 and it got to serve as a new start for the brand after the devastating earthquake and fire that occurred earlier that year. The factory was used for different purposes from that time up until 2002 when Levis were cutting costs and decided to close down the production in the old factory.

In other words, the so called "555 LVC Made in the USA" products were the last garments made in the old Levi's factory. LVC later moved their production to Turkey and after that they turned back to the United States, but to the garment district in Los Angeles. 

These garments have become collectibles among the reproductions and they are easy to spot since the back of the buttons that are stamped with "555". You can also look at the care label, these are stiff and have a silver thread that goes along the edges and you can read the text "555 Made in the USA" written on the label.

These jeans are close to new and has never been washed. Made of a shrink to fit fabric so you should calculate with a 10% shrinkage when washed for the first time.

Hemming is always included when you purchase a pair of jeans from us! Give us a comment during check out and we will shorten them before we send them. Keep in mind that you won't be able to return the jeans if we alter the length for you. For hemming, we'll use a vintage Union Special chain stitch sewing machine, to match the original seam of the jeans.
