i'm100% positive they're real. all the details are there. the only thing i have never seen before is this 2"x2" piece of gold foil sewn into the leg seam where the two selvage edges meet. i'll post pictures within the next few days when i put them up for sale on Ebay unless someone here wants them. they are tagged 32x34.

oh and as for beacons closet...good stuff makes it in there it just usually doesn't make it out to the racks. last time i was there i saw a kid walk out with a pair of raw or at least they looked it apc jeans and they had a pair of new standards there today but i didn't buy them because they were hemmed to about a 29" or 30".

they would have been made sometime between 2002-2003...right after LEVI closed the valencia st. factory in sf and before they shut down all US plants

I might sell these at the end of the week. I'm looking to get $165 if I do. They are US made stamped 554. Went to What Goes Around Comes Around in SoHo today to see how the denim compares on the new ones with these older US made versions and the older ones definently feel a lot heavier.

i think that means you get a free tour of the texas factory. you get to sew jeans for them for a week! and thats not all, you get to go for free!

It looks to me like one of the workers got bored , ignorant or senitmental about the plant closing and their job going bye-bye and decided to leave their mark ..

I believe that's a golden hershey candy wrapper .. :-)
