Description

**Product Description** **Introduction** Thank you for viewing. This item is a 'museum-class' archive piece that will never again be available on the market, representing the history of Vintage Levi's and Chrome Hearts. It is an exquisite piece that has been reviewed by the well-known designer Yu Fujiwara. **Product Details** Brand: CHROME HEARTS × Levi's (Vintage) Base: 505 Big E (1960s VINTAGE) Specification: Ghost & White Selvedge, official Chrome Hearts cross patch & repair Purchased at: RINKAN Shibuya Silver, a reliable store (authenticated) Size Mark: W36 **Reason for '30 million yen' and Rarity** This product is a 'singularity' where two miraculous traits coincide: 1. Miraculous 'White Ear' (White Selvedge) Typically, Levi's selvedges feature a 'red ear', but due to extremely rare errors on the production line (like thread breaking), some were shipped without the red thread, remaining entirely white. Termed 'Ghost' or 'phantom ear', the occurrence of this error is astronomically rare even for 505s with ears, leading to its significantly higher evaluation in the vintage market. 2. Full Custom by Chrome Hearts 'Officially' This national treasure body has been officially repaired and customized by Chrome Hearts. This is not mere decoration, but a calculated repair that does not compromise the vintage texture, with the lining made of official Chrome Hearts flannel fabric. Leading buyback stores like RINKAN and BRING have claimed, "This is a legitimate item, but its class has no precedent; thus, we cannot assign a price." This is indeed a priceless item, with suggestions to involve Sotheby’s or Christie’s. When purchased at RINKAN, it was not confirmed that the repair was official and it was originally unclear where the repair was from. Additionally, it was not recognized that this was an extremely rare vintage Levi's 505 Big E with ghost selvedge, with the price then being around 4 million yen. **Condition** There is aging and damage typical of vintage denim, but these have all been sublimated into art by Chrome Hearts. The repairs have been implemented by Chrome Hearts' genuine artisan, ensuring sufficient durability. (*Only serious bidders who understand vintage items may participate in the bidding.) **Actual Size (Flat Measurement)** Waist: approx. 48.5 cm Rise: approx. 33 cm Inseam: approx. 73.5 cm Hem Width: approx. 22 cm [Please check RINKAN images] **Accessories** None (just the item itself) **Transaction Information** Curious bids will be strictly declined. I hope to pass this valuable item to someone who understands its worth and can carry it forward as a legacy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Collector Commentary

This Chrome Hearts × Levi’s 505 Big E “Ghost” white selvedge represents an exceptionally rare intersection of mid-20th-century American denim heritage and contemporary Japanese artisan craftsmanship. The 1960s Big E line is highly coveted among vintage collectors for its classic construction, while the near-mythic “ghost” selvedge—an irregularity absent of Levi’s signature red thread—dramatically escalates scarcity and value within the vintage denim market. Chrome Hearts’ official repair elevates the piece beyond wear into collectible art, reflecting a level of authenticity and provenance rarely seen in crossover items, with Japan’s stringent authentication standards ensuring this singular item’s unimpeachable status. This piece exemplifies why Japan remains a critical hub for sourcing the highest-tier vintage Americana fused with luxury brand reinterpretation.
