Early 2000s (Transition era between vintage USA and modern overseas production)

Condition
Very Good. The wash shows some natural fading but the back pockets and hems look intact. No major visible stains or blowouts (crotch wear).

Strong. Baggy Levi's (550, 560, and Silvertab) are currently trending heavily among Gen Z and vintage collectors.

Estimated Resale Value
$35.00 - $65.00 (Low: $35, Mid: $48, High: $65 for a quick sale to the right vintage buyer)
Estimated Retail Value
$59.50 - $69.50 (comparable new pricing)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for 560s range from $40 to $75 depending on the wash. Medium 'stonewash' colors like this tend to sell faster than very dark or very light versions.
Description
Vintage early 2000s Levi's 560 Comfort Fit jeans in a classic medium wash. These feature a baggy, loose fit through the thigh with a sharp tapered leg, perfect for the current '90s streetwear trend. Size 42x30. Includes the classic 5-pocket styling, orange tab-style stitching, and iconic leather-like back patch.
Key Features
Discontinued 560 fit; 'Comfort Fit' is highly sought after for streetwear styling; large waist size (42) has a dedicated market; 100% cotton construction.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font on back patch, red tab present on right pocket, dual-arcuate stitching, and characteristic copper rivets. The '560' stamp is consistent with genuine production samples.
Flaws to Note
Minor fraying possible at the heel/hem from floor dragging (typical for 30 length on larger waists); slight thinning in the inner thigh area is common but not visible here.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest sell-through for specific Levi's cuts), Depop (ideal for trendy vintage streetwear), and Poshmark (good for larger sizes).
Selling Tips
Measure the actual waist and inseam with a tape measure, as vintage Levi's often shrink. Use keywords like 'Baggy', 'Y2K', 'Dad Fit', and 'Streetwear'. Photograph the care tag to show the 'Date Code' (usually 3 or 4 digits) to prove the era.
