She needs to cuff those sleeves but otherwise outstanding @MJF9 and has to be said, outshining the usual Dad-tux- core.

Sorry, misread post

@indigoeagle Yes looks to be the 1941 model

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Lvc buckles are notoriously weak due to them being pressed steel pieces. Sure that info is buried deep in the lvc thread somewhere. I've busted a couple of lvc buckles but never a Lee buckle, thought they were made of sterner stuff. -

Yes, time to stand up to yourself. Edit: surprised at the Lee buckle-break -

I wear a belt with mine mostly, although l tighten the cinch strap too. I find they slip down eventually without a belt but that has a lot to do with the size of my beer belly on any given day. The belt l also loosen one notch sometimes, letting the cinch do most of the work. This usually eliminates any bunching up of belt, cinch and hardware around the centre back which can be uncomfortable. -
Good luck with that! 😆

Lovely @silencejoe why is it your last purchase may l ask?
-
Thanks but alas l am not copping. With the Reverse yoke model it seems that only the year 1941 is used to describe it , not 1940-42. So a very brief experimental period for the manufacture of the 501 then? I did try and find out years ago about the csf war denim but drew a blank. Maybe it's a secret? Edit. Also looking at your above query, traditionally levis 501 had 3 button fly plus waistband button until c.1936, when they gained an fourth fly button.
-
That's fine don't worry. Saw a pair of sz 32's on their site and they had four fly buttons. Won't be buying them anyway certainly not at 260 quid plus whatever import taxes etc as well (l thought originally they were 200ish). Got stung pretty harsh on my last imported denim with import duties. They look great and all but l will have to wait until your forthcoming buckleback photo-bomb and live vicariously through you instead mate.
-
Thanks for that, yes that's my understanding up until now but l wanted to be 100% sure as a ex-Lvc fan l still have nightmares of button fly inaccuracies compared to originals 😂
-
Love these tiny salesman samples and wouldn't normally bother posting but for it's rarity l just had to this once. And just for the record, l am not Dr levis.

What size did you end up ordering Grant? Looking at the pics, that size 31 only has three fly buttons whereas an original would have had four plus the waistband button. How many has yours?
