Authenticity Check on 1947 501 Levis

[Phrost3]

Hi, can someone help me figure out if these Levis or genuine or not? IMO, they look pretty authentic to me, the only thing that concerns me is the selvage. It doesn't look like a redline selvage to me. I appreciate it.

Comparing to my own.... they look legit.

[Phrost3]

Hey could someone show me how to put up thumbnail pics here? I'm having a lot of trouble with it.

[minya]

Can't use thumbnails with this forum software, unfortunately.

[Guest Phrost]

Can someone help me post up these pictures so I can get more opinions on them?

[rnrswitch]

Look good to me.

i know mine has a paper back patch if that helps.. hidded back rivets, and made in the USA

[cheapmuthafukr]

thats not the only 'problem' with this forum software..

isnt there a way to upgrade it? i mean what would it take? money, effort? i think a lot of people would be happier that way. who owns superfuture? would that person not like a new forum with happier users:)? PM's are hard to figure out for noobs, images cant be uploaded easily, the what are you wearing thread is freaking out. personally i think a new look would be great. even hypebeast did it man come on.

we need a revolution!

Yes, 47s have a leather patch, it's the 55s that have the paper one.

These jeans look ok to me. The selvage line SHOULD be red, and I think it could be from these photos tho it's hard to tell for sure...

[Phrost3]

What's the retail price of them? Do you think around $150 would be a good deal for them?

Well, i think the price is alright

there are many different vesions of 47501. check the back of the top botton. if there is '555' stamp on there, then they r made from original palce. and no longer available.

check your washing tag as well, the early version of LVC has a silver thread on there. it may help you to identify its authenticity

Money, effort, and a functional way to convert a CFBB database into a working vBulletin database. Right now the options are -- keep going on CFBB as-is, or abandon all of the old message archives and start a new. Currently, there is no workable archive conversion feature for CFBB -> vBulletin.

[keska]

i say we start a new, abandon all the old message archives. ill save some of the stickies on info on jeans. alot of the forum isnt functioning well imo.

I know that the 555 stamp on the back of the top button means that it was made at the Valencia St. factory, but should the price be higher? Are the 555 models usually better quality or something?

[Paul T]

THe 555 are worth slightly more, but it doesn't make a huge difference. $150 is an ok price, I sold a pair of 555 1933s with tags for $200 recently, the tags add some value but the 1947 is a more desirable jean.

Re thumbnails:

if you learn some basic HTML, you could hyperlink smaller images (of size down the existing images even tho it would still take time to fully download the entire image)

Granted, this is a mild bit of work, but it's not impossible.
