A guide for this piece: about $1,391, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Vintage Levi’s 501XX identified as the 1947 model, with pronounced indigo fading and a measured waist corresponding approximately to W31. The worn surface and disclosed damage give the individual pair a specific collecting identity.

The Piece

The recorded flat waist of 38.5 cm is the most useful fit reference; approximate size labels should not replace a comparison with jeans you already own. An inseam of 79 cm provides additional context. This is a visibly used vintage pair, with pocket damage, stains and paint marks included in the description. The 1947 designation identifies the model, not a separately verified manufacturing year for every component.

Care & Stewardship

Handle aged denim with care, especially around damaged pockets and seams. Consult a vintage-textile specialist before washing or restoration; aggressive cleaning can change the surface and stress weakened fibres.
