Levi's Vintage Clothing

[Dr_Heech]

I just got the japanese magazine "Lightening"'s latest big denim issue and it has some vintage Levi's that it describes as "501xxs" does anybody know what the "s" stands for?

Chucko,

does it read 501xxs, or are they 501xx s-type, mentioned by Busted seam (i.e. Is the 's' above where the 501 is stamped in black)??

On the 501xx (1964 or earlier), there would sometimes be an 'ES', 'EX' or 'SP', which denoted extra sizes or special sizes (longer in Length). This would be stamped after the 501XX (in black) rather than above.

A pic would be helpfull.

hi..i am new here..is Levi's® Vintage Knappave 1880's Jean sell in oki-ni at £135.00 overpriced??cause i saw few people selling LVC around $100+-..

[Busted Seam]

It's more or less retail, they're usually around £130-£140.

Check yoox, they did have some of the raw jeans for around £100, limited sizes though.

Edit: They have the 32 32 up for £98, and a few other raw models. Site seems to be slow for me at the mo, but try:

(I'd suggest you get actual waist size in these)

Also, don't forget the 333, which have had a lot of love in this thread. One wash only, but for £89, a steal. Check out airfrog's to see how they look worn in....

Just had a look at Aero Leather - they have them on at £115.

thanks for the link...so does LVC shrink after soaking??cause i saw in oki-ni wrote they will shrink about 5%..so if i m wearing size 32..what size should i get?

http://www.yoox.com/item.aspsec=1&YOOX=LEVI'S+VINTAGE+CLOTHING&dept=men&tskay=B84CE7A2&rr=1&cod10=42133237PL&sts=sr_men80

this is Levi's® Vintage Knappave 1880's rite?

[Busted Seam]

Don't know why they say 5% - as it's normally 10%. But the early models are made oversize.

I would buy a 32 or 33W and allow an extra two inches in the leg.

[badzen]

i see...ok..thanks for the info...will be more hardworking and read more here..=)

I know they're not LVC but If anyone wants a cheap pair of brand new Gap Selvedge denim, I have a pair up for sale.

You guys should jump all over those 333s at that price. I think I'm going to score another pair. These are some of my favorite LVCs. The denim is INCREDIBLE...

I think the fact that they're not raw is a big turn off for everyone. I know it is for me.

1937 501 news - Did my first hot hand wash without soap last night. and boy was there a lot of shrinkage left...

the water turned pretty blue, but they dont really look much lighter.

whiskering on lap is more apparent and i love the fit now.

[airfrogusmc]

Yeah it was for me till I got a pair. They didn't offer them in raw but these have a different denim than any other LVCs and raw or not are just incredible.

What do you mean?

There's a 501 guide here:

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=34010

It will tell you the Knappave has a high rise, a straight leg which is full, but not as baggy as the 1920s and 1930s jeans.

[prochek]

here´s some 333 LVC on sale as well

[blm14]

[badzen]

[lenn]

i don't really have anything to say, it's just that this is my 501st post, and it deserves to be in this thread. that is all.

They'll shrink to a bigger size, genius.

LVC 1937 update

about 3 months of wear and 3 soaks and one handwash

there was a significant change in fit after the wash.

notice the real big leg twist on the right leg...

what i've usually noticed is most of the spin is on the left leg.

and since Miz's new thread I've noticed that they do have the stagger in the back, but the right side of the ass seam is on top of the left; which is opposite from most jeans I've seen. Its also like that on my brother's pair and on the JP version. was this the way it was done in the 30s?

sorry for the crappy pics. I'll post some better ones when my camera is back.

[Busted Seam]

Yep. Early Levi's had no stagger. From the 20s right panel was on top of left, with stagger, from the 40s left panel was on top of right.

[jake431]

Those commercials are awesome. Much better than the current crop of Levis ads; at least the ones I've seen lately.

[fardin]

here is another one. i dont know why i didnt understand back then that they were already LVC ads. man, i just thought they were normal levis ads. but they guys jeans clearly has suspender buttons
