^Really? Links?

HAHA, come on Cotton, gimme a harder one. I guess he could have pulled the photo, or he is the guy that started the "how jeans fit" thread (I knew I had seen those pictures before)

[Charlie Delta]

^ha, you're right. Would've guessed that he would mention something about these jeans no?

Weird...

[Minkous]

Just curious can anyone identify for me what year those really beat denim i posted are? are they the 1937 501xx's? Not sure cuz i know they have the exterior brace buttons

[Charlie Delta]

Look like 1901's to me, 2 backpockets very wide apart with "sloppy" single stitched arcuates, no beltloops, no red tab.

1901

[lilldavid]

thats them alright!

Just impulse bought a used pair of 44's of the bay for £25 (washed twice from raw) Look good colour still . Model with the striped shirt material pockets . Anyone got a pair of these ? they look a loose fit . I'll do a forum search anyway .

That's now two of my personal rules broken (again) tonight -

1 . Dont purchase anything on ebay during / after consuming alcohol .

2 . Dont post on forums during / after consuming alcohol .

Hey Mike,

I´m breakin in a pair of those 44s, for 6 month now, pics are in the evolution threat... and yes these are very loose fitting, got a saggy ass... By the way, I saw the pair you bought few minutes ago on ebay, but didn´t bought them because my W32 are tooo large and W34 would be a tent for me... If you usually wear W34-35, these should fit great because they don´t shrink more than a 1/2 to 1 inch in waist. anyway my favourite 501 style, hope to get em in W29-30 one day =)

Hi Sftd ,

I'll check the thread out .

Well , I will see what they look like soon . If I dont like them , they will go back on the bay . At £25 on a buy it now they seem a good buy even for a fatass like me

I pm'd you ref the 101z's , i will send pics if you want ref the fit .

[MrBurns]

Ok, first post here, needing advice.

I'm looking to buy some LVC, just don't know what waist size, my APC NS are a size 31 and they fit super nice but i'm looking for something baggier but not that much.

What cur should I get?

Thanks

Hey, few weeks ago I mentioned that I saw vintage 501 in secondhands shop in Berlin, I bought em and now these are on the bay, just have look and confirm the originality of it, I very sure that these are real 1950s repros, maybe Paul T could confirm aswell!?

Thanks a lot mates

[Charlie Delta]

That's quite an interesting pair you've got there. Post those pics up if you have some time.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

1950s 501s...

[mikedbt5]

A neat peice of denim history !!! Love the off centre belt loop , wish Levi would do this with the 1955 .

Btw Jo , the 44s arrived this morning and they are excellent . Will do some pics .

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

you´re right mike, it could be shown in a museum... I like the patches, it´s authentic and got a story, I´d say it´s more interesting than a deadstock jean...

fine! I´m curious of how the 44s fit others...

Does anybody know off hand what years the orange Tab Levi's were being made ?

Thanks for sharing...

[sneakeraddict]

60s and 70s

[beatle]

So I snatched myself a pair of Levi's from those years at the goodwill store...

$ 7,50

Nice..

[hysteric]

i believe they still make non big e orange tabs here in canada, i could be mistaken though

[BumbaClot]

i have a few pairs of orange tabs from the early 80's

[beatle]

Allright...why were they made with the orange Tab anyway ?

[gimmegimme]

Allright...why were they made with the orange Tab anyway ?

They were the more "economical" version in the 80's...but I believe in the 60's they were to differentiate themselves as the newest models.

[Paul T]

Orange tab was launched as a cheaper range. Somewhere I have a breakdown of model details, but generally the orange tab 6** jeans had different fabrics and usually no rivets. Without checking, I might be wrong, but it's my impression that the orange tab jeans had a shorter lifespan and often went for a hipper look - Levi's were pretty conservative about launching new 5** jeans.

[gimmegimme]

In the late 80's kids at school would make fun of you if you wore orange tabs...we use to cut them off.

[beatle]

Oh - I like that..payback time ...orange tab the underdog...

[gimmegimme]

Oh - I like that..payback time ...orange tab the underdog...

Tell me about it...I'd kill for a pair of those now!

...I'm going to levi's hell for cutting those tags off

i love the history and lil stories that comes with levis

[hysteric]

Can anyone legit check these 44's?, I need some painted arcutes in my life. Thanks

[Paul T]

Look good to me!

[airfrogusmc]

Look like a pair I had.

Hey Paul I just scored a pair of these. They're suppose to ship on Monday. I know not raw but from what I understand this is the only way they're going to be sold.
