  • I was kidding serge you dork

  • OOH, snap! Sarcasm doesn't work very well as text.

  • I think most of the so called vintage Levis are fake! Two things I CLEARLY remember from the mid 60s are that the run of the mill jeans were ALL 502s these had a zip fly that replaced the much earlier 501s that had buttons, as far as I can remember no button fly jeans were sold (at least in the UK) between about 1960 and 1980.

  • Most vintage Levi's are NOT fake. They made millons of pairs of jeans. The reason why most jeans were zipper fly in England (and the east coast of the US) is because it is cold and people didn't like the draft they would get with the button fly. It is the same reason that here on the West Coast of the US you will find mainly button fly jeans and rarely find zippers. I have yet to find a pair of vintage Blue Bell Wranglers over here.

  • My loomstate > these ;-)

  • I'm glad you like you Loomstates, that leaves more vintage denim for those of us that appreciate it. Let's see if those Loomstates of yours are worth anything in 40 years.

  • Anybody know of a good place to get vintage 501s?

    I'm tired of messing with ebay.

  • I found a 501 xx with hidden rivets. and offset back beltloop. levis printed both sides. How old are they? no number on top button

  • This is 偽物

  • These are awesome.. I've seen a couple of your vids, where do you usually try and find vintage jeans?

  • cool

    

  • @SergedNimes I have some button fly jeans, I'm from New York. Infact Hollister and H&M are know to sell the button fly jeans in their stores up in the Northeast.

  • Talking about vintage clothing. Have you checked out the RETRO-GUY website? You can also see a video on it on youtube. Just search for Bali Rakhra or BBC The One Show - RETRO GUY.

  • now expensive...it is small problem for me.

  • what an awesome pair!

  • @drewetzky The "R" alone is to protect against trademark infringement. It means that Levi's owns that specific placement of the tab on the pocket, whether it says Levi's or not. They are most likely genuine Levi's.
