▪️ Description
This is a vintage reproduction denim from the early 2000s, which has increased in price in recent years.
This model was a predecessor to LVC and is known for its excellent color fading and fabric reproduction, along with the Valencia factory models.

Furthermore, it's a valuable golden size of w34 L36.
It's likely only been rinsed, and the starch remains, so it's best to wear it as is.
If you want to shrink the size, washing and drying it in a dryer will likely shrink it by about an inch, and the twisting will be more pronounced.

Current LVC models have a smooth, thin fabric and are questioned for durability, but this one has a thick, rough fabric, and the twisting is well-reproduced, showing the shrinkage rate of the time. The current model has also increased in price to around 41,700 yen, so this one is overwhelmingly recommended.

This is an excellent piece in mint condition from the old Japanese production. There is no damage to the inseam or hem, which is common.
Please only purchase if you understand vintage items, as this is an older item.

The last image is an article reporting the color fading of this era, so please search for it as a color fading sample if you like.
