Vintage 517’s Typical Fit:

-
Straight fit through thigh w/ boot cut opening
How to Size Vintage Levi's:
Vintage Levi’s were typically purchased 2 sizes bigger than needed to allow for shrinkage in the shrink to fit denim. It is very common for the tag size to be an inch, two inches or even three inches smaller than the listed tag size. Please ignore all tags and review the listed measurements to find the best fit.
Tips to find your best measurements:
-
Waist - Measure where you want your pants to sit. This one is very important, as it will be the starting point for selecting vintage denim. For high-rise measure the smallest part of your waist.
-
Hip - Measured at widest part, typically near your hip bones and around your booty.
-
Rise - Measured from crotch seam to top of the waistband.
-
Low Rise - 6.5-8”
-
Mid Rise - 8.5-9.5”
-
High Rise - 10-12”
-
Inseam - Depends on where you would like your jeans to hit at the bottom leg; crop, ankle, top of shoe or floor. Measured from the crotch, along the inner seam down to the bottom of the jeans.
No two pair of Levi’s are the same!
*Each pair, each style, each decade have a unique fit, size and wash for many reasons. Every pair is also unique in its fades, wear and characteristics. That’s what makes them so highly coveted!
Any major wear or flaws will be shown in photos and noted in the description.

*If you don't own a fabric measuring tape, a piece of string and construction measuring tape will do just fine.
