Bump! Didn't think it was necessary to start a new topic for this.

Just a question, I recently picked this up in a secondhand store.

I like it alot and was wondering if anyone could tell me abit more about it. Some LEE experts? It must be a LEE gold label reissue

This is what I know so far:

- Loco Jacket

- must be post '46 since it says Can't Bust 'Em

That's not much, also all Loco jackets I'm able to find pictures of have two breast pockets, why doesn't this one?

Anyone more info about this model? When? Why? Etc.

Thanks!

unless.... you plan to not wash them, ever! Or dryclean for that matter.

This does get anoying after a couple of years.

^^^^^^^^^ Send you a pm.

No, no ebay, got them at a local shop that still has some LVC and Levi's Red old stock lying around among other things. They used to get old collection left-over's straight from Levi's. The tag says made in the USA though.

No natural indigo and not Valencia St. oh well I guess you can't have it all.

Glad to hear that they're still supposed to be good quality, they sure feel nice!

Oh and Paul, thanks for being so helpfull!

555 refers to the number on the back of the buttons and on the inside label, right?

Mine says 822, hmmm? What does this tell me?

Thanks alot, bummer to hear that these are the synthetic indigo ones.

Your jeans have the old-style, pre-1886 patch at the side. Airfrog's have the newer, post 1886 patch in the middle

Just to be sure, are you saying here that they originally had the patch on the side, then moved it to the middle for a decade or so and then moved it back to the right?

And the hangtag that came with these says 1873, so I guess that, together with the "1st blue jean" thing is just Levi's trying to trick people into believing some stuff they made up?

I saw the cotton duck one's a little while ago and liked them alot but I read somewhere on here that the quality is poor. I'd really like to own some cotton duck replica's though (what's in a name). Do you know of anyone else who's done them apart from Warehouse.

Oop, sorry maybe a bit big? Detail pics anyone?

Ha, first post. (spend the last couple of weeks on here reading through as much of the archive and the encyclopedia as possible)

Actually wanted to post this here to see if anyone could give me some more info on my new jeans but now I see that Paul already answered some of them. But more info is welcome.

I always thought they were the Calico mine one's but the paper tag reads "First Blue jean"

I guess that should be 1st 501 then?

Let's see if I manage to make an image appear?
