The 5 pocket

Ah- yea I knew about this gift, the original run of that special fabric I believe?

I wasn’t aware of the second pocket added- probably has the pocket stamp?

not for sale everywhere

I got a pair as a gift 

Did you get the original- or the 5 pocket Leroys that came out a year later?

^ Don’t know why, but I’d always thought the denim was from Huston—learn something new every day!

Cone had a bunch of uneven yarn they didn’t know what to do with, so Roy sent a early 1890’s sample of Levis’s #2 fabric. He somehow got them to use the wonky yarn and made enough fabric to make 7 pairs of jeans…The tour is over and I have the jeans back, still waiting to take a picture wearing them before I send them home to San Francisco.

My Japanese buyer wouldn’t touch anything that wasn’t  a 505 or 501 just a year ago.

Im learning now-550s-517’s 560’s  are all a go now.

So I’ve seen the front pockets now, on what looks to be a champion AB Elfelt back pocket…No dart stitch on the front pockets, this does appear to be a later version of the Champion pants- I’ve only seen duck or denim pocket bags on Champion and Levi pants made before the factory- this pant has denim pocket bags- so it would appear that they went back to the free floating back pocket, when they changed to the more common cinch strap- that’s seen on most dart stitch pants, including their own dart stitch pant (pioneer overalls) made by Elfelt. Cool pair, so much like the pants Hodis made, only these have a different cinch strap, plus a free floating pocket.

It wil be interesting to see the front pockets- definitely not the Elfelt version hodis did. We should have an answer when he gets back from his trip.

Pure luck aho, still hard to believe…Paid forward, my oldest daughters tuition for the year. I’ll try to keep the next 40’s pair that I find in my size- If I live another 50 years, I might find another.

2 more months to go…at least,  here in So Cal, before you can even think about a jacket.

Sure, I’ll post pics tonight when I get home, one guy ahead that’s interested also.

It would appear that the buyer that was interested, is taking the jeans.

I can't speak for Maynard but l can tell you l only ever looked for 501XX (although with Martin's penchant for tapered fits and removed cinches ......)

Some of the best men’s jeans are accidentally (I assume) put in the women’s section, like the dumbass that I am

I like to give away my trade secrets, I guess you guys never checked for the same mistakes being made back in the day.

Although I only searched for 501s occasionally during the mid-late 80s, I never came across anything with hidden rivets or even a big E. Just finding a pair of small e redlines (from the 70s or 80s) in a wearable size seemed like the Holy Grail to me back then! Charlie was a pro compared to me.

I’m curious, wondering what the difference between you and Charlie hunting- you have to look in the women’s jeans too (where some of the best stuff is)

we’re both of you just looking in the men’s jeans?

Thanks- this is the sort of thing you saw back in the old days…back in the 80’s- right doc?

Out thrifting on a not so traveled route yesterday with the father-in-law. I should have known when I picked up this 1970's dragon

bong at our first stop, after 2 crap thrift stores in a row, we were going to just call it- and head for home...5 miles down the road

we decided to hit another- We were in the store for 10 minutes and Russ walked up to me and said you better look at this, I could see

the hidden rivets- then he said- Look, its a big E

I looked and couldn't believe It was one sided....So much fun.

Our local track, down at the YMCA is tiny compared to this track, I rode a bmx bike for years, but way too big of a puss to go on the tracks.

I saw that, picked up a new roof antenna just in time- I thought I was watching the X games, wow…what a track, or is this track normal? I can’t say the last time I watched bmx on tv.

Never mind that- take only pictures bull and only leave footprints nonsense- look through all that wood, check the cracks.

I remember meeting gods gift to cool guys, pic 1 pretty much sums it up.

I found a LVC bag from the 2012-13 in my storage shed, I have pictures of it on Instagram- if your interested- look at my last post denimbrotherhood…my IG handle.

^^^Sold

I found my other warehouse tote from 2010- $27 shipped in the US…If anyone is interested.

There's no text on the other side of the care tag.

Bummer- just run with the 1979 date, that certainly could be the date.

If the backside of the wash tag has numbers, it should have the date.

can you post a picture or type what numbers are on the back of the tag.

I wonder if  the 082 stands for August 1972, that would fit the timeline? I’m talking about the 082 on the pocket bag.
