The change of the age is felt, such as the tag with a barcode is attached, and rationalization is advanced, and the tag with a barcode is felt even if it crosses over to the detail, such as a flasher and a guaranty ticket being gathered into one sheet.
The side belt loops are positioned far back, and the paper patch position is also shifted to the back center.
Compared to the September 1981 505, there is not much difference in silhouette.
paper patch
It is stamped "505-0217" above the CARE stamp like the 501 of the same era, but without the tear-off tag.
flasher, guarantee ticket
The flasher and the guaranty ticket have been lumped into one. The top of the guarantee ticket is "FOR OVER 130 YEARS" and the copyright year is 1966.
tag
The tag attached to the back left. It has a barcode attached to it, which gives a sense of the changing times.
inner tag
Washing instructions are given, but there is no mention of shrinkage, perhaps because this is a preshrunk model.
inner tag
The number "115" in the last line suggests that it was made in November 1985." The number "552" indicates that it was made in factory 552.
back pocket
Near-square-shaped back pocket. The angle of the arcuate stitch is shallow.
back pocket (back)
Same chain stitching as the 66chain model
red tab
It has a blank tab on it. Of course, it is not unique to 505, but it is unique to this individual.
bar tack
White bar tacks
top button
Copper-plated iron buttons
zipper
Imprinted with the "LEVI'S" of the bad wing logo
top button (back)
Engraved with "552".
rivet
It's no different than the rivets used in the 501.
rivet (back)
Aluminum rivet backing
coin pocket
The fabric of both the coin pocket and the other cloth is used vertically. The back stitch is a chain stitch.
outseam
The outseam is a white lock sewn fabric with a side split. The hem is original, but single stitched.
fabric
The fabric which looks the same so that even individual difference is not felt even when compared with the one of 505 made in September 1981. This can be seen from the fact that denim was becoming more homogenized and stable.
