I'm sure these are not everyone's cup of tea here but the leather quality on these is mindblowing. I had them for over a year and 1/2, walked miles in them, creases are minimal.

mwaaa ha ha ha

Leather belt, Levi's buckle

Bear with me here, my first and current selvage experience.

I'm looking to get a couple Levis after this.

RRL's, 1 month after purchase.

As of today, about 3 months. Natural light, just used Pshop to crop and stuff.

That's whats wrong with these African leaders, they get to power and never want to leave. Mugabe is a sick bastard.

Update on RRL's i posted a couple posts up:

They were my first experiment with selvage jeans.

After about 3 months of owning the jeans, and wearing them everyday for the last 5 weeks. I starch them with heavy duty starch. Ride my mountain bike 30 mns everyday, whiskers forming in front, knee is fading.

- soaked them inside out in hot boiling salty water overnight . Water turned yellow-ish

- high spin cycle in washer

- hung dry inside out

Came out softer. I like it that way.

I'll post the pics later on tonite.

Too much

What are those black wing tips at the bottom? :eek:

sick wallet! whats retail on those?

I love it how people ignore jeans that don't cost $300, even though they still look nice.

Those Gaps up there look better worn than some of those jeans on this page.

okay i was taking pics of my new old orange tabs and i was thinking, we should compile some of the info floating about the forums properly. cultpop has a good collection of vintage levi's too, as do a good number of other people. and there's paul t and serge and ringring and etc.

what i'm thinking is when you post info up try as much as possible to back it with pictures to demonstrate what you're saying. for example i had no idea what CMF meant for awhile by the "batwing" and "inside tag", i thought i should've been looking for another tag or something along the outseam.

so to kick things off:

inner tag (front)

inner tag (back) on this note, i read on the 501xx site that levi's classified their jeans by A, S and F - does this have anything to do with the A on the back tag?

if the pics are in the way let me know and i'll replace them with links

BTW, i use the term "vintage" very loosely. i'm not even sure how old this pair is, i picked up just the other day. anyone who could venture an educated guess please do so!

Are those selvage? I saw about 5 pairs of those same 505's with same exact tags yesterday at a thrift store, i passed on them because they weren't selvage, so i figured they diidn't have much value. lol Im a noob to this.

turn it inside out and look. or..... cuff the pant leg to see if there is selvage

I know this.

I would if i could, its from the Ebay, i asked the seller he didn't respond to me yet. Taking forever, so i figured I'd ask the pros on here.

Are these selvage?

The Capital E Levis?

sick sick sick sick!

I almost getting a hard. fuck

Re the crotch of the Imperials:I reckon it is definitely slightly oversized, but seems to look good actually. I think cult makes a good point, large crotch makes the jeans look slimmer.

Whodini - here are some photos of how the A-505s turned out after about 6 months wear 5 days a week, a couple of machine washes...the pics are pretty close to the actual colour of the jeans. Overall, I thought they faded well, except very little definition on the honey-combs at the back. But the overall fade in the denim is quite nice.

How did your's turn out? I haven't seen any photos of them for about 6 months.

I digged deep in there today?

505's huh? are those selvage?

I've worn these around 3 times. #93 of 200 (numbered on the inside of the right front pocket).

100% authentic Levis LVC from 2006. I have the receipt from the authorized dealer/store that I bought it from.

Made in the USA

Original 501 cut

Tagged waist: 29"

Measured waist: 31"

Front rise: 12"

Back rise: 16"

Upper thigh: 12"

Inseam: 34.5"

Leg opening: 8.5"

Retail = $501

Asking price = $350 OBO

I have the reproduction of the newspaper from 1906, the bandana, and the muslin bag with all tags.

:confused: No belt loops? I always noticed it in the catalogs of LVCs but never really saw it in real life

So what does one do in case of jeans being loose?

unless the stitching is loose, it's probably not a problem, just the same as down comming out of pilliows etc.

I have a down jacket and have had down come through the material

I think that maybe the problem, the stictching is still stiched in, but it feels loose, almost to the point where it feels like the jacket is losing its shape.

Anyone knows more?

I have this leather bomber filled with down.

The down inside is starting to come out thru the stichtings on the jacket (check pics), all over the damn jacket. its weird.

Anyone ever dealt with something similar?

Does something like this happen to the down filled Northfaces during their lifetimes?

Let me know.

U can't really see from afar
