What an insanely good example of a cult favorite.

These are a pair of 1980s “white patch” Levi’s. These jeans, only produced for a short time, have a cult following much like Levi’s famed 501s, except these were discontinued and pairs are increasingly harder to find now.

White patch Levi’s have a different fit ratio than 501s; they’re very unique. And many people (and many a blog) have sworn that “nothing fits like those old white patch Levi’s.”

These are a bold medium blue with a raw hem that has been released by previous owner. They appeared to have been hemmed before that.

These have crease fade lines down the center of the leg and some unique fading throughout.

These are a particularly special pair because of the unique white patch on the back pocket. Most white patch Levi’s have fairly similar designs on the white patch, but these have a different picture on their white patch. This one has a U-shape around the typical horses and “Levi Strauss & Co.” underneath. (See comparison photos for these next to more typical white patch pairs.)

Very rare patch and a very unique pair of Levi’s.
