Hi Sympathy,

I'm no expert but I remember seeing them for the first time around the end of '86, in London. In a 501 style.

Around then a whole lot of companies started bringing out black jeans. Flip had been doing some black jeans in the early 80s.

Like I said, that just a personal memory and black jeans were certainly around in the seventies but I don't remember them being Levis.

Hope that helps or a least prompts a more informed reply

I've got Deadstock Levis 519 big E in black they've got a letter A above the 519 so assuming produced around the same time as 501 S type so 1967 ish??

Haven't actually got my hands on them yet picking them up next week so unsure if they're redline or not.

BTW everyone seen these orginal 201's

Got an original Levis Shorthorn Big E Westernwear leather jacket just about to pop on ebay but trying to date it.

I always thought Shorthorn predated Longhorn so this Shorthorn jacket would probably be dated from the 40's or 50's.

But just did a quick google and finding contradictory info some people saying Longhorn actually predates Shorthorn and vice versa anyone know for sure?

hey

Been lurking on here for ages.

Anyways I have about 60 pairs of LVC to sell on ebay, most of it's on already at the moment, more to come in the next couple of days.

I'm not starting auctions at 99p but I don't think I'm being too greedy with the prices. Been watching the ebay LVC market for the last couple of years and this is a pretty fair reflection of what they will sell for to the right person.

But as most of what I know I picked up on here gonna give anyone who wins a pair and mentions the forum a 5% discount. The discount is on the sale price of the jeans only i.e not total price including postage.

Also I will go through the LVC catalogues I have and see if I have any that are missing from the catalogue thread and upload them - about time I started contributing

Oh and if anyone on here has been asking me (through ebay) about specific pairs in specific sizes gonna get back to people today when I have sorted through the last of what I have.
