Youth model 504ZXX, a zippered version of the 501xx, from the no-galler paper patch period. It still has a hidden rivet, but unlike the dead stock and used ones shown elsewhere, it has a belt loop over the back seam, so it must have been made in 1964 or 1965. It is still in dead stock condition with some glue on it.
Almost straight, but slightly tapered from the knee down.
paperpatch
"Every Garment Guaranteed" notation on a no-galler paper patch." While there is "Made In U.S.A.", there is no notation of "100% Cotton" and "WPL423". The tape keeps the prototype barely intact, but it's hardened to the point where it would definitely be damaged if worn as is.
back pocket
Only the arcuate stitching is yellow, the rest of the pockets are stitched orange. The arcuate stitches have wide stitch spacing.
red tab
Double-sided tabs with LEVI'S embroidery on both sides." V" is the same thickness on both sides.
belt loop
It's no longer an offset belt loop, and the belt loop is now attached over the middle seam. You can see that this is the final period of the XX without guarantee.
conceal rivet
The hidden rivets on the back pocket were abolished and replaced with a cannubis stopper in the most recent model of the last XX, but the hidden rivets are still attached.
top button
Galvanized iron.
zipper
Semi-automatic TALON zippers are used.

Copper-plated iron rivets

Aluminum rivet backing
coin pocket
The coin pocket is used vertically and the other cloth is used horizontally.
coin pocket (back)
Stitched in single stitch. Because the fabric is used vertically, the selvedge does not come out.
outseam, selvedge
Both the upper and lower threads are stitched in yellow, which is unusual for this age group. The hem stitching is also large.
fabric
The slubby feel is a little stronger, but there is almost no nipping. Indigo with a slight reddish tinge.
