Well the ones you were looking at look to be legit. I miss spoke the one at Aero look to be what Levis calls old rinse.

Paul my wife grabed my 47s and thru them in the wash maybe a year or so ago along wit ha couple other pairs of vintage I was trying to keep unwashed. The point being I'll post some photos later of mine and those not washing doubters can see how much better your look next to mine.

Paul Well gread-bay and patients sometimes work and theres Aero in Scotland for LVC which I just ordred another pair of 33 501s from. The 33s start lighter than say the 37s 501s and 201s. Just saw a deadstock with tags pair of 1920s 201s on e-bay 555 (late 90s) so they do show up from time to time.

I guess I'll get the ball rolling...
Real McCoys New Zealand Dubow 27798 A-2 (horsehide)
This is one of my favorite jackets to wear with my vintage Levis.
Anyone else???

Ok Guy & gals. What jacket do you wear with your denim?

Domino I would recomend finding a dry/deadstock pair.
Aero Leather sells'em but they show up on e-bay to.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with dry/deadstock vintage Levis or Lees.
These 1933s are really nice
1947s if ya like'm TRIM without suspendr buttons ahd crotch rivet

55s for a fuller cut.
I have a good friend that has a pair of these Lees and loves em
Any of these DRY would be a very good choice.
You can find allot of these on e-bay new with tags from time to time to.

mizanation,
I gotta say this is one great site...
As far as denim heads in Chicago we'll theres me, my buddy Jake and a couple of others...
But seriously not all that many. I think the love for really high end denim is more in Europe and Japan. I had a conversation with the manager of the Michigan Ave Levis store a couple of years ago when I bought my 1947s and she said they would not be carrying LVCs in the future because they don't sell. I don't dare tell people what I pay for my jeans but they ALWAYS comment on how great they look. Something about red line selvage...
Thanks eveyone for making me feel right at home. Its nice to know there are others..

How about a pair of these 1937 cinch back Lees?
0 -
I say a pair of 1946 Chuck Taylors with 47 style denim work very nice.
They might still have some here.

Paul, these are the 1999 20s 201 blue/green line denim.
These are the ones from 201s 06..
I can't for the life of me figure out why Levis didn't get the single needle stitching right on the pocket of the 06 model.
0 -
Paul interesting. I was under the impression that the 90s blue line was cone and the later 06 stuff was Japan. It make since now that you've pointed it out. The 1999 20s 201s I have the blue line is very pronounced and almost black where the 06 is more green. I'll try and get some photos later. Thanks for the info...

I'd say just a cold rinse in the sink NO SOAP and hang dry.
0 -
I'd guess from the 1970s. White tag big Es. Now all you need is a pair of platform shoes...

I would recommend deadstock 1937 201s or 1937 501s LVCs.

Paul heres the booklet from Levis showing a historic pair of 37 201s with a leather double horse label.

just turn'm up to show off the red line...

The perfect shoes for vintage Levis. 1946 Chucky Ts
The Levis are 1920s 201s.

mspark, used to be able to find LVC at the Levis store on Mich Ave in Chicago but they stopped stocking LVC about a year or so ago.
Aero Leather in Scotland http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/webapp/aeroleather/servlet/AeroViewPage?page=displaysubcatlist&subcatid=106
has some and I've found some stuff on e-bay.
Allot of the new LVC stuff is pre-aged which is not my cup of tea. I prefer to wear them in myself.

Lars they show up on e-bay from time to time. Even deadstock NWT.
0 -
Lars no. The older stuff is MUCH BETTER. I think I read somewhere that LVC was using denim from Japan on their later LVCs. The cone mill stuff is in my opinion was much nicer.

Paul look how much nicer your look than mine do. I wore them a bit before the forst wash but the wife grabbed'm and thru'm in with several other LVCs I had....Man I was not happy. Anyway heres mine. These give visual proof that regular washing early on is not as cool as wearing the crap out of them then maybe a cold rinse and more wear.
