Levi's 505, believed to be made in 1987, with different treatment of flashers, paper patches and outseams from those made in September 1981 and November 1985. It is very interesting that the specification is different like this even at the same time American-made 505.
The belt loops and paper patches are fairly centered.
The silhouette is as thin and straight as ever.
papaer patch
The CARE stamp has been changed to print in red. There is no tear-off tag.
flasher, guarantee ticket
The flasher and the guarantee ticket are combined into one, and the design is simple. At the top of the guarantee ticket is "FOR OVER 135 YEARS", which adds 5 years to the previous year's production. The year of copyright acquisition written in the lower left-hand corner is 1987.
