I agree I usually buy raw and wear the heck out of them. 

To be honest, I have never understood the desire of buying levis that were already beat up or worn.

 

I wore the heck out of them. They actually look great just not raw. 

They are very well worn and they are Valencia St 555s tagged 38/34. I can post some photos in a few days if you'd like? 

Thanks Paul,

I really hate to part with them. I also have a very rare pair of LVC 1905 209 coveralls. Those I will never part with though I thought i would aways hang on to the 333s. Only so much room. I will also be putting up a pair of 20s 201s 555 IIRC. A new in box with original tags USA made Converse Chuck Taylors and maybe a couple of well worn pair of 1946 repro Chucks.

I think some details were released in the past 3 pages that answered these questions. 

Ok THANKS I guess I should have looked around some before asking. Nice to know they still have some cone denim 2019.. They must have bought a lot. I picked up a pair of 47s about a year ago and a pair of 55s a few months ago and both were better than any of the early LVCs of the same years that I had in the past. Both labeled Made USA and had tags indicating cone denim. 

Anybody know what the new 2019 spring/summer LVC line will look like? Where are they sourcing denim for this line now the cone has closed? 

I just added some recent photos of the 1911 lot 333 LVCs. The denim is AWESOME. As are many of the other details like the buttons and button backs and rivets.

Thanks Chuck the denim on these 333s is different from any other LVC denim I've seen. Its heavy but VERY SOFT. It has a very different hand to it.

Heres a couple of more photos

My Bill Kelso W&G after some time in the sun last summer for the collar and some wear.

Thanks Paul love the boots and thanks Lance. This is the 3rd pair of 1933s I've owned and the only pair I've been able to get those kinds of whiskers and I actually got some combs on these to. I think keeping them dry for as long as I did, did the trick.

Anybody thinking about a flight jacket that is pretty accurate, wont break the wallet and takes only a few weeks to deliver should consider BK.

A couple of things to go with the vintage Levis

BK Willis & Geiger M422

WWII Impressions USMC 1911 Cordovan shoes

1933 501s after a lot of wear (almost a year. Only in cold water 4 times and 6+ months RAW.

GW Monarch M422

Also not as red as the photos

FOR SALE PM me in interested

A few recent shots of the 1939 Werber

FOR SALE PM me if interested

The KING of the street

Size diff.

M Monochrom

Indeed, well worth the wait. Perfect.

AGREE!!! Very nice.

Does that mean I can build an absolute authentic pair of 1954 501s? Correct materials and correct cut?

Yes cinch is the wrong place, not blue line and the tag was removed. IIRC the white cloth tag on the fakes were very obvious.

I don't know what the latest 37s are made with but the ones I had some years back the denim was darker than both the previous 33s I had and faded differently to.

Thanks Paul.

This is my 3rd pair and I have kept them out of water as much as possible. I have gotten some combs on these which i was unable to get anything worth while on any of the other 2 pairs I had. I think I wore these raw longer than any other pair I've owned. Maybe keeping that original stiffness in them until the combs were full set I donno but I'm happy with the way this pair is coming along.
