Made in USA, 2001 Levi's 501 Black, W40, dyed, button 553

Rare Made in USA 501 black denim from the late production period.

The inner tag and button back stamp (553) match, indicating this is a historical piece manufactured in December 2001 at the San Benito, Texas factory.

A hard-to-find W40 big size. This is a post-dye (product-dyed) item with a solid black color remaining. It has a rugged, uniquely USA-made feel not found in current products, and the subtle fade gives it a beautiful charcoal black look.

The oversized fit is perfect for current trends, allowing you to cinch the belt.
