Cut-off Denim Levi’s 501 90s
A classic pair of jeans to wear in summer.
Introduction.
Cut-off denim is an essential part of my summer staple. I have especially loved Levi’s 501 cut-offs for many years. Shops that deal in second-hand clothes also stock them from early spring to summer, and many of them are reasonably priced, so I tend to buy them when I find ones that fit my size. This time we will introduce shorts cut from Levi’s 501s.
501s from the 90s
I have two pairs of 501s cut-off denim, both of which I bought cut-off, both of which are 90s models. 90s 501s are used rather than vintage, and are naturally sold for less money than new. They have no vintage value, but they are Levi’s 501s in make, silhouette and detailing. However, unlike earlier 501s, the ones that were washed and faded considerably at the point of sale were sold new, so used versions of such models are lined up in second-hand clothing stores. When I was a child, my mother used to cut off my jeans and wear them for summer instead of discarding them when they became old and damaged, so I am familiar with the extension of this custom and wear cut-off jeans in the summer.
The cut-off 501 which is introduced this time is commonly called 524, and it becomes the model in which the No. dug in the back of the front button is 524, and is called a red ear. It becomes a model made in 1995 because there is a notation of 524 0995 in the product tag of the front left pocket back. The patch is still there, so the size is marked as waist 32inch length 32inch, but the actual size of the waist has shrunk to about 30inch, because it has been washed in a dryer or something.
Levi’s in the 90s were usually jeans (I dare to describe them as jeans…) when I was young. I love not only cut-offs, but also 90s washed jeans and deadstock rigid 505s.
Even with the cut-offs, the style is exactly 501 and the waist and buttocks line up nicely. I wear them in the summer, so I often wear them with a T-shirt or polo shirt. I don’t worry too much about fading or deterioration, and when I sweat, I usually wash them and wear them, enjoying them as a summer staple.

Conclusion.
As shorts to wear in summer, I use my long-standing favourite 501 cut-offs, 90s 501s cut-offs, which are moderately priced and moderately faded, so I wash them normally when I sweat and enjoy wearing them normally in summer when I sweat. I wear them basically with just a T-shirt or polo shirt, but they also work beautifully with button-down shirts and other summer tops. I like to wear a size that fits me, but I can also wear a larger size on the waist and still look cool, so it’s a good thing that I don’t have too much trouble finding something that fits.
