nice one ! i think they are from the mid 50s early 60s

the "r" and double sided red tab comes around 1954 ... the hidden rivet are gone mid 60s ....

bye

you are right ! i don't like the low rise - t's not authentically ...

all levi's vintage before 1901 ...

hi!

buy a pair of levi's vintage (raw) from 1947 or better from 1955 and you will never go back to diesel & co. ;+)

hi!

no repro i'm sure ! i only want to know the exact age ... the japanese sites says type 3 start was 1957 - a other site says 1962 ...

hi! i know this side - it's great ! but i have read the type 3 is indroduced in 1957 ?

hello!

knows anybody the exacly birthday of the levi's type 3 jacket ? i have read the 507xx is made between 1952-1957 ? or up to 1962 ?

i have a beautyful 557XX jacket with the "every garment guaranteed" on the patch - how old is it ? it must be one of the first type 3 jackets ...

thank you very much

cheers MIKe

only levi's vintage ...

1. 1917 japan-reproduction

2. original 501 big E from the 1960s

3. 1955 501XX valencia street made - never washed !

...

ebay.com 290093909271 !!! ;+) wait up to the end

the 551zxx is preshrunk with zipper+bronze button - the 55s 501xx is a shrink to fit

hi!

sure the early collections are even better than the actually

i have 555: 551ZXX! the best one , Type 2 jacket, 2x 501XX 1955, a finished S501XX 1944, and a death valley 1890

i dont like the 20s 201 really - for me the 1937s are better - a little bit more closely cut

denim makes me poor ;+)

the tab is gone ... i have also seen japan-repro's without the circle r ! this is a original: patina on the rivet's, no numbers, it feels old, it's from ebay.com ... the best thing is: the leather patch is soft and unbroken - i love this jean :+)

hey ! the levi's premium looks really good !

here is another pic from my oldest jean

hi!

i know it's not the best foto. !? it is a vintage levi's from the 1930's ! 501XX no repro !!

he's wearing the bunkhouse shirt + jean ? right ? great clip ! great girl...

i won this auction: 200057734838 and i don't know: is it a real vintage or a repro ?

they had redline and no belt loops - it can be a 1917 model from japan !? know's anybody the 1917's ?

lynn from levi's says: the buckle is wrong for a real vintage levi's.

please help

the best one is the s501xx with crotch rivet ( right the front jumper ) !!! very interesting i think

you are right ! a deadstock nevada is a must have for every collector !!!

i will sleep in this + wear it every day up to my end ...

the duck pants from this year is a 1900's modell with 2 back pockets !?

sure ! your 1886's are very great ! i know i'm a loser ... i also like the "washed" jeans

the bunkhouse is my fav. for this year

wear your 1886's 20 years and they look better with every year - they are hard to find i know!

my dream is a vintage pair of levi's from before 1900 ......... ;+(

my oldest pair is from 1930's with buckleback - i love + wear it !!!!!!!!!!!

No it is not. THe oldest jeans that Levi's own are the Nevada jeans, which have the pliers poclet. THese are n 'imaginative reconstruction' of that, and certainly aren't of an older design - things like the watch pockets, and the lack of a pliers pocket, are taken from later models. Really, they're more of a loose 1890s replica...

thank you!

this is new for me

i have ordered your book :+)

i had a nevada last year and i like the arcuate ! now i have a 1886 cra with the same style of stiching - i love it ! it's a good nevada alternative

the patch was in the middle up to 1890 and than on the right side ?

the 1879 has the patch on the right side... ?

do you have pics from the calico-jean ? which year it is ?

regards

hi paul!

at first my english is not the best please excuse...

i have seen japanese repros without the circle r on the red tab ! please look here

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/super-rag/427211/543813/

i think in 50 years it's hard to differentiate is it a heavy-used repro from 2005 or a original

what is the ultimate feature to differentiate ?? there are also repro's without number on the top button (i have see a 1955 modell) and there are originals without numbers ... there must be a "ultimate" feature/detail a stiching or anything else to differentiate

thank you very much !

regards from germany

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/frisbee/419331/1769105/

it is a reproduction of the oldest levi's known i existence

the birth of the blue jeans was 1873

the most old+popular jeans are the nevada from around 1880 - this one is older

i love the style of this 1800's models ! one pocket,buckleback,suspender buttons, etc....

i have payed 300$ for a original levi's type 1 jacket - straight from the 40's ...

so i will save :+)

hi!

thank you very much !

yes this is the right jacket ! mostly i like levi's ... but this is a must have i think !

and a original is impossible ! a store in berlin/germany has a higher price (250euro around 300$!!!!)

bye
