Enjoy!

There is no info available on the web re: Dude Ranch. It is an awsome denim - were those jeans already faded like that when you got them ? I cant imagine them being raw.

I am kind of new to the japan scene, although some of the fades are killer. Would like to get a pair of Flatheads after looking at the fades and lines they get on a previous thread. Know how ? I dont speak Japanese

Btw,in your signature pic, what are the half redline jeans on the right?

Ya I think I have W as well. Those DudeRs are pretty awsome too - did you have them come from Japan? Also, I checked your ebay page and was admiring your pic of 3 pairs on your me page - those 66s are tha shiznit - 66 SS 501s definately my favs E or e. I guess thats the ones you used for the background for the book auctions? What are those 2 jeans you used? specs? esp the ones on the right

tks

The jeans I am talking about are not pictured. They are 501-0117 DS RL old patch and no bar tacks. I have a pair or 2 like you described - 501 with bar tacks and no redline, but the give away on those is that they have a double felled inseam. Everything on the jeans in question checks out(old patch, RL, Single stitch inseam, DS pockets - only thing I can t remember is the number on the button 558 I think, or 524) but no bar tacks - go figure.

Hey heres another question for the experts - the numbers on the back buttons - I know it has been asked here before but it was in relation to repro 555 etc. Anyone know anything about the numbering system on vintage? My rough calculations are as follows

2 or 4 or 8 is older than 6 which is older than 524 which is older than 5**

Can anyone shed any light on this?

As for the jeans you refered to - they are DUDE R, and whats your ebay name? I may have bought them from you -They are awsome and would like to get more, but japanese stuff is hard to come by in my size. Would also like to get a pair or 2 of flathead, after seeing the sic fading patterns on them.

P.S I have a pair of 505s with the single redline same as in your picture - are they 505s or some other brand?

Mjj

I am a collector what can I say!

as for the shorts - a lot of them are NOT wearable but some that are a decent length are - most of them were bought in groups of several pairs to get a 'good' pair on Ebay.

I have a pair of repro(I think) with hidden rivets and a couple pairs cutoff and I have a couple buckleback repro, no real ones yet - too pricey. Not much chance of finding any around here. Most Levis in Canada were made in canada

My favs are single stitch RL 501s - The denim seems different to me than the DS RLs - maybe cause they are older

I have a few Big Es that are pretty rare.

I will post more pics soon.

here goes again

Hi all;

I just registered to the board but have been reading it for several months. Some interesting read!

Anyhow, first things first - I am addicted to vintage Levi's - You name it I got it(I have over 100+ pairs - Ebay mostly) as well as a couple lee, bigstone(dont know much about them but awsome vintage denim) and denime repro. Several Big E origional and repro, and single stitch, double stitch RLs,Mostly 501s with vintage zips in the mix as well. Been collecting for several years and have learned along the way.

There is one thing that I cant figure out and am wondering if any of the experts here can help me. I have a pair of Double stitch redlines that do NOT have the black bartack on the back pockets. They are legit(at least by my eye). I am thinking I may have one of the last run of RL levis. The Bar tack went with the RL on the 501 didnt it?
