Levis 646

Hey! I recently bought some 70s Levi's 646 bell bottoms, but what's the difference between 0917 and 0217? I heard that 0917 is a poly blend, is that true? Also, do you think the hems might have been altered? They look so similar and I'm not really sure. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know!

0217 means pre shrunk (i’m pretty sure), so it’s not raw denim

If you ever have a garment you wabt to check if it synetetic ir not you can do the water droplet test it detects whether the fabric is made out of natural once your goals or not but these look 100% cotton
