Reckon l'd need one of those hydration suits from Dune before l could go out in the sun in Texas! I'm melting if 25 degrees C or hotter as it is 😅

@reubensangwich Modern day Jacob Davis right there!

I did the same but he gave some of it back 😅 (I will hold onto it tho as l know he'll change his mind later on down the road)

Handsome jacket and a great fit on you @Facini

I know this thread is more about the repros of this particular era, but on the subject of hidden rivets and red tabs, it is important to establish the original and its' origins. I have seen quite a few images of '1937' salesman samples before and they all have a tab but also hidden rivets. This pair showcased by Marvin's has a red tab but no hidden rivets. Obviously this pair is a little smaller (not by much) but the back pockets look definitely designed with only the red tab in mind as the new addition, which could make these sample pair date from late 1936? I'm guessing as usual, but l believe these to be from the prototype era of the 1937 model (1935-37) Anyway definitely an early advert for the newly improved 501XX and worthy of sharing even if for the smaller gauge LS&Co buckle and the close ups of the warp/weft of the denim. Cute little arc too. @beautiful_FrEaK Maybe change the title of the thread to 1936 rather than 1937 if @indigoeagle doesn't mind?

New Ammonia-wash, you not heard of it? Pfft!

@MJF9 seen that video before thanks to @beautiful_FrEaK but happy to view it again (and again) . Just need 'someone' now to puchase the 1937's and then post their photos here 😁

Looks better than the lvc distressed stuff

Nope.

😢

Can we get some pics of the 37's @beautiful_FrEaK? 😁

Awesome.

Thanks and why not, it would be good to have some insight if the info is solid.

Knew l'd seen those 1940/1941 bucklebacks before, they are owned by the Jukebox guy. They are identical (in terms of patch, flasher and guarantee ticket) to the pair in the 501XX book which are labelled as a rare transitional model, made in 1941. Here is a post on lg showing them to be a 1937 model(?) So in conclusion, they are a late 30s/early 40s model 501XX 😂

@redragon Thanks a bunch for that info btw Interesting that the reverse yoke model is dated at c.1940. I wonder what the actual dates are for that model. Normally the reverse yoke is just stated a flat 1941 model, which is vague at best. Would love any insight into the actual date that this decision was made (probably by Milton Grunbaum l would imagine) but l doubt that info is in the book??
