It is a boot cut of the Saddleman series that Levi's was developing, and it is a STUDENT size that corresponds to the old youth size. Made from a mixed fabric of 64% cotton and 36% polyester, it is claimed to be the "toughest denim", "naturally faded" and "wrinkle resistant". Compared to the dark blue dead stock denim, it looks like about 50% of the color remains, but it's different from the nuance that the color has been faded by the stone wash process.
It comes with a flasher, but not a guarantee ticket.
Boot cut with not much degree of flare. It flares gently from slightly above the knees.
