XX, how can i put up a photo on this site??

i can't see any traces of back pocket arcuate.. but i'm getting confused. "the rivets".. are those the copper things on the pants? they are exposed on the inside of the back pockets. sorry but i don't know much about these things.. thanks for all the help

they have the E and Levis is printed on both sides. donut holes? i don't know what that is.

no number on the back of the buttons.. yes there are hidden rivets. no numbers tho. and the numbers that are on the inside of the front pocket clothes reads....226X41 the numbers look old style, kinda like military numbers.. and yes the pants look old, but not worn out.

hey XX thanks for responding. yes they do have selvage. and they do not have the waistband patch, but it shows a spot where it was cause of the stitching... that probably is the reason the thriftshop may have thought it was a re-make. do you think the ones with-out the stitching on the back pockets are rare? also they are very light weight.

ok.. whos there?

i recently bought a pair of levi 501 jeans at a local thriftshop. they seem to be vintage? after going over them with a fine tooth comb and compairing them to the ebay ones.... but what i'd like to ask is.. did they ever make the old vintage 501's with-out any stitching on the back pockets? there seems to be none on the ones i found, just plain pockets..also they have no red lines, and a number on the back side of the inside front cloth pockets.. can anyone give me any information?

thanks!
