Sansome1877

Thanks, I think its from the 1910-15 range, found it in a trash hole with newsprint from that time period, cleaned it up and started smoking.

fpds by bottleswest, on Flickr All 70's- first wash on the double stitch 501's since owning them (3 years) Almost big E type 3, picked up a month back-its slightly big,but I like it. abE by bottleswest, on Flickr abEl by bottleswest, on Flickr

sp by bottleswest, on Flickr storage shed scrap, thrown out sometime in the early 1890's. I thought this scrap was from your typical- watch pocket shirt, like the LVC shirt you see in the picture...it's not, the scrap pocket is left breast, and not your tiny size- for a watch pocket. sp4 by bottleswest, on Flickr sp3 by bottleswest, on Flickr sp2 by bottleswest, on Flickr

The print on the label is too small, the 501 XX is tiny, plus rivets that shiny from that time period...next to impossible.

@cusswords Thanks for posting, I missed this episode of Huel, that’s a young Lynn Downey, I wrote her a letter 2 years later, pretty sure by 1996, they dropped the idea of them holding the patent for 34 years...I know they were still saying 1886 was the first leather label.

I’ll see what I can do, does anyone have a clue, when denim jeans were first being creased? When did the whole- creasing of pants even start? I’ve never looked into it.

I promise, no urban cowboy creased 501’s...or 517’s, from the 90’s or 80’s (added bonus)

I think I can find a few items to post here.
