what's a phone fade doing on a "original" pair of 1947 Levi's? 

I’m sure this fine “vintage” pair have been floating around a while now, I might ask the seller for a pic of the back of the waist button..

And check out the 502’s he has for sale  for £4995.00 ... with 1st class signed for postage . .

I suggest he changes his username to comicdenim, what a joker

The 1954 501ZXXs have changed. Here we have 3 pairs made of Cone denim. The top right W34 L36 stem from around 2010 (I bought a similar pair at that time) and the 2 other pairs (W32 L34) are more recent. Note the much longer fly and dull rivets on the older variant as well as different Cone denim.

Just found a deal for made in usa 1966 still unworn recently, however im not sure if its legit or not! Since the color of the denim is pretty light and the feel is "light and softer" than my 76', but then again i dont have any experience in the 1966 jeans.

Can someone help identify it if its the real deal or not:biggrin: would really appreciate it! The color of the denim is most accurate in the 3rd pic

Check out these 1944 555s I got..  I made the mistake of thinking they were originally raw and that the 32W 34L after quite a lot of washing would be a good fit for me. 
they have to be a prewash though because they are BAGGY.. you can still see the screen printed arcs on the edges a bit. Patch gone, and no dark blue underneath.. another possible tell tale that these were sanforised. 
 

Not sure what I will do with them, maybe take them in, keep them as they are, maybe for denim for any future patching requirements. The crotch could use some attention, it has previously been fixed.. I don’t know if the baggy grunge look is growing on me maybe..

Somehow, to my eyes the silver threaded label does not match the denim which looks similar to that on my made in Bulgaria 1937s attached. I have never been a fan of 1944s but will dig out some from around 2000 to compare. Do you think the label could have been swapped? The top button doesn't look right to me, either

finally someone shows up in a pair of 84s, great!

the fit looks right to me. do they come true to size?

how is the denim? is it hairy? at the pics on the Levis site it looks rather flat and uniform compared to the 76s denim or other denims being used for the lvc line.

Thanks! I think it’s a great piece of denim, compared to the ‘54 it runs a tad smaller in the waist if i remeber that correct! 
 

The denim isn’t hairy it’s a flat piece of japanse denim. It seems to be more thick then the other LVC rigid ones, some websites say it’s 12 OZ other ones seems too tell me it’s 14 OZ
 

it’s a thing i need to get used to i guess then are a little tight, but i can button up rather easy.

Only just noticed the label @Duke Mantee - time for another eagle eyes test for sure.

It’s all too easy to focus on the the denim, stitching, rivets etc. We’re nerds and sometimes we can get too immersed.

Is there a thread on here that details how to read the care labels (sorry I don’t know, I’m a noob)?

^ Edit .. Who is that imposter?

Well l've never looked into it deep enough @Duke Mantee like a true denim nerd would but afaik the top line is (obvs) waist and lnseam size then the model number 44501 (+ l haven't got a clue), then second line down again clueless, third line down is where it was made and wool production board reg number (l think?)

Last line l think is factory number, batch number(??) and the date of manufacture.

@Dr_Heech I’ll search through and see what I can find here. I’d assumed someone might have put some care label data up ... and not that I was expecting you to have done so, nor was I expecting you to have identified that label, I just thought it was funny that after a number ‘serious’ posts about the jeans that one particular conclusion was reached - but more funny to me because the duchess (quite unwittingly) commented the jeans looked a bit ‘girly’
