  1. everyone prefers the fake 501s for their fading and quality components (except sayocean) that's the irony.

    hell if these thai fakers had half a brain they would just start their own label and easily sell those selvedge raw jeans for way more than selling fake 501s or they would fake a more exclusive brand than levis.

    I don't really get how two or three middlemen could profit on $10 jeans. Makes you wonder what selvedge jeans really cost to make and how much $$$ levis (or any denim label) makes on their $98 selvedge 501s..

    I think the average wage of thai women is nothing, the boss can profit as much as he wants by using slave, theres very little human rights in thailand also the profit could depend on how much the tourist is overcharged or not bothering to argue for a low price, i could have been charged about $30 a pair if it wasn't for my Thai friend helping to get a low price.

    These weren't sold in all the markets in Thailand just in one or two stalls in Chatuchak, so i think they're just a small group making these, they weren't on view i asked at a stall selling the faded variety and he went to get them from another place 5 mins later, they were either on another stall or were put away somewhere, i didn't stay to look any more i just got out before i malted in the 120 degree heat.

  2. I just hope they get photographed a lot more often on this tour than the Diors, OK just to update you I posted them off to akuma no uta today, the postage cost was more expensive than than the Jeans themselves, I just hope the customs guys don't steal them though.

  3. Do these fit like normal 501's? Measurements?

    I think a bigger dude world tour sounds awesome...forget all these size 28 folk :)

    Thai 501's BIG style measurements:

    Measurements are in inches and post-wash:

    WAIST: 36"

    FRONT RISE: 11"

    BACK RISE: 15"

    UPPER THIGH: 12.5

    KNEE: 10"

    LEG OPENING: 8.4"

    INSEAM: 30"

    These real 501's are measured slightly differently and are not pre-washed:
