Hey Serge, I have a 6 Double stitch RL with ® tag. I have several more pair of these (I think). Are they rare? I think they are a transition piece between 6 single stitch and 524,558,555 double stitch?

Any comments?

There used to be some of these show up on Ebay. They have since disappeared.

As I recall, They were a raw type denim with some distressing/holes on them. But its been a while since I have seen them so I could be mistaken.

look like lvcs to me. Think I got a pair similar somewhere. One thing I did catch on some repro stuff. the top stitching is double stitch on the pockets - I know for sure a pair of the first 'generation' of big E repros I have have this. Dead giveaway on some repro stuff.

hey nair, put up some pics and we will know for sure - sounds like you are right tho.

there is a small (1" )square tag with the info listed a couple posts above. Im thinking these are not repro

$20 off Ebay!

I have about 2-250, Have not counted them recently. Mostly all Vintage Levis, LVC,couple thai fakes:

Snagged these on ebay recently:

These are double stitched, Redline, and have 555 on the top button. Out of all the double stitched RLs I have, I think this is the only 555 pair. The rest are mostly 524,6, 558. The pockets even look a little like they are single stitched with their outer stitch spacing.

I have lots of repros with 555, but these are def. not repros.

Calling on Paul T, Serge, Levi Experts(AGAIN)!!

Thanks

Not much happening since 08/01. Although they are starting to contrast a bit with the wrinkles.They are still like cardboard! - They have shrunk with all the rain as well, as the waistband has a 'wavy' look to it. Leave em for another few weeks I guess.

you guys have no idea how remote a site this is.....LOL

nearest town 28kms away straight line

60kms away via road

did someone say addicted????

You know you are addicted when you hang up a pair of jeans in the middle of nowhere to see what kind of wear marks and fade you get on them, or burry them in the ground for that matter!'

Mjj

Hey all -

Going on inspection possibly tomorrow. Need some advice:

The jeans have been hanging out in the elements for 9 days now, and I am thinking about throwing them in the stream that is nearby. Its a small stream and I can tie them to a tree or something and let them float in the current. I am debating on whether or not to do it. There is little possibility of losing them so thats not an issue

Comments/Suggestions?

PS I am also considering towing them behind an ATV on a gravel road for a couple miles, but that will be after I get some of the color bled.

suggestion:pics of said jeans!

1) toss up between a pair of 619 orange tabs and a pair of 505 red tabs that were made in france. They had a hard leather patch and I have not been able to find a pair since.

2) Pair of 501 redlines

Hi all,

Now before you start the flaming, I DID SEARCH.

How bout a list of sites with info similar to superdenim

here goes:

http://www.jeansforall.com/

http://www.denimology.co.uk/index.php

http://www.styleforum.net/archive/index.php/f-13.html

If we get enough maybe someone can sticky this

mjj

my guess w/o seeing thai fakes

still worth decent $ on ebay if you can get them cheap

I wish Levis were making stuff like the fakes, some of them are really nice

no raccons native to the area!

I got an identical pair for that,

and besides,

wheres the fun and mystery in that!

LNG: those 517s you are talking about are about 10 y old, only diff with those is they were made in japan

These jeans are size 36, and are located in somwehere in Canada!

I tried this a long time ago with a pair of cutoffs, but they were already faded and got more of a bleached look than if they had still had color

Thats why I was thinking leaving them in the water. The movement of the water would probably be the same. I will be checking on them often enough so that I can effect the turnout

They are in a remote area, I dont expect there will be anyone to bother them, its a semi-private area. I am hoping the sticks and twigs around will give some abrasion.

There is also a stream located nearby. I was thinking about putting them in the water for a while.

Pair of Vintage Levi 646 I got on Ebay, I bought 2 pair and was going to sell the other, but I decided to hang them outside

Put these out on 08-01. In an area with excessive wind, rain, sun, etc.

Any input on:

How long to leave them out

What to do with them etc

They are at a remote location so I will update every few weeks

Mjj

P.S Sorry bout the size of the pics
