Levi's 550 in faded black, made in the U.S.A., the relaxed-through-the-seat cut that tapers to the ankle. The black has washed to a smoky charcoal with the wear concentrated at the lap and seat. There's a small worn spot starting at the crotch seam — the honest fate of a well-loved pair. Red tab, leather patch, all-American.
The Story
The 550 is Levi's relaxed-fit, tapered-leg 5-pocket — fuller through the thigh than a 501, tapering down to a clean ankle. This pair is faded black, W34 L32, with a red Made-in-U.S.A. care tag marking domestic Levi's production in the 1990s.
