Just got a dead-stock pair of 1954ZXX, the date on the tag is 4309, so assuming 2009
Just a couple of things are throwing me off, first is the 1996 date on the flasher
The back of the waist button is blank
No pocket bag print
Everything else checks out on them and they smell old
Thoughts anyone, or does anyone still have a pair from this period to compare with mine?
