I have a pair of these exact jeans! They are from the first run of Lvc, judging by the orange waist tag (later one's were salmon pink). They are 551zxx, and a different fit from the 501xx repro.

Made between 1996-98 l reckon.  Can we see the inside tag (white with silver thread)? Or is it missing?

The pairs made in 1996 in particular have the nicest arcs l've ever seen on a post war Lvc repro.

I normally cut this out so surprised I left it in.

Mid / late 60's 503zxx 

Thinking maybe 65 ish ? 

That look of old Levis just can't be replicated !

those are nice. Are they LVC or the capitall E series? Do show us the tags and 2-horse label if you can. I like what looks like a loom fault on your left knee.

Not sure what series but still have the waist label. Brought them at Regents street store along with most of the other item in the series at the time there was only Evis, and hadn’t been able to get new salvage Levi’s since the late 70s I had no idea what was going on in Japan at time. Also another pair from American classics on the Kings road.They are a really nice dark indigo and take a long time to break in but worth it in the end. They are nothing like later LVC even 555 ones. And yes that is loom chatter.

LVC 555 from 1996 haven’t worn them for awhile but one of my favourite from back then.

Don't worry lads the denim jacket is back it's Esquire btw, so prepare yourselves for a keen, far-reaching article.

I was enjoying the article until I saw there choice of jackets!

They are looking good though.

The printed on arcs have lasted well I have a similar pair but only a few dots of paint left!

Thanks @volvo240thebest

Hi from London, who can resist WW2 with red tab. Ive ordered size 36 raw, my normal size is 33 so these should be very relaxed.
