Levis e 501 that look like E

[Serge d Nimes]

I recently got these jeans. They are small e SS 501 with a 6 top button. All the stitching and the fly buttons liik like big E. Look at all the yellow stitcng on these! Even the belt loops alternate colors like some eary 60's 501XX I have had in the past.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

simplicity we use to survive, do what you doing properly, thats the way thru life

[Serge d Nimes]

Yeah, they are sweet, too bad they are so huge! And too bad someone washed them so much!

This is a horrible thing to say, but they look like fatman pants-carrot bottoms, you can just see the big thighs and paunch. But I respect the observations. There is something about that washed out pale blue in levi's that really depresses me.

and the classic ironed in front crease

A good find for $5.99 none the less.........

flip em' on ebay.. the 66's are worth quite alot too..i've been looking hard for a pair of these in good condition..

I have that same pair Serge. single stitch, number 6 and small e. I was told they are pretty much the first pairs that were made after they dropped the big E. Mine, although I hate to say it, were not washed nearly as much as yours and came with some really nice wear. I paid quite a bit more than you did though. I love them, they fit good and they are very comfortable, kinda like the Skippers jeans on Gilligan. Saggy ass and pegged legs from the knee down. I wear the hell out of them if I were you.

Do your #6 SS redlines have this much yellow stitching? I have had 2 other pairs (that were small e) and they didn't have any. I won't wear these, they are way too big. They are like a 38" waist and I wear a 32 -33. I have some Big Es that fit me perfectly anyways. I probably won't flip these yet either. I have sold most of my repro jens and I am holding onto all of my vintage ones.

Yeah, they do have it in the same places as yours, I really think they are almost identical in origin. I wear a 36 waist and mine are even the same size as your apparently because they are too big. I wear them anyway because they are the most comfortable pair I have, next to some old full selvage buckaroos that are left hand. Softest denim I have ever worn.
