Levi 517 1971

[modual]

I was just looking on a japanese Rakuten site at these and according to the measurements the rise is only 10.5" - 11" on a 32" waist. I'm sure ive read on here before that people didnt wear their 517 anymore because the rise is so high. Are there differing versions of the 517 ?

the rise on levis has varied some over the years but im guessing that the rise was lowered to accommodate the stature of the japanese. i have a pair of deadstock orange tab 517s and the rise is 14-15 inches on a 31" waist. i know levis didi a 517 repro with a much lower waist.
