For those of us who want to look like all our clothes are from the lost and found, but don't actually have a lost and found to steal from.

Guys, sometime in the '60's or early '70's that must have been very fashionable...

Hey buddy, where's the promised 37's pic?

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

I was aking for that pair too a few days ago. Good to see a guy from the "family" got it :-)

Let us know more, I thought it was a pair from the 70's...:confused:

here some extra pics:

I´m into denim for nearly ten years now and pretty sure that those are made during the 1950s, the trademark R appeared in 1953 by the way...

good thing the waist is too small, or id have to not share.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

maybe it´s stupid wearing a pair of deadstock 50s levis, but i think even when worn from time to time those still should be a good investment...

any guesses how to soften up the papertag? maybe with damp?

many thanks!

[cheapmuthafukr]

its not stupid... its better than wearing repros. and for the price you paid, why not wear em?

if you dont want to wear em, ill be glad to take them off your hands for what you paid.

[Maynard Friedman]

Well done Sympathy, great find!

Like fap says, they're made to be worn. Otherwise sell them for a good price and buy some repros to wear and enjoy a tidy profit.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

thank you guys but it will be strange wearing a pair 4000-5000$ worth... hehe...

gonna make some fit pics this weekend!

[bluegoldblues]

Noooooo Please Do Not Wear Them!!!!!!

(if they are real) that is such an unbelievable find, i cannot believe that they did not go for more even the german vintage dealers should of seen that one... but something is telling me the stitching should be more yellow? and I've never seen 20 stamped on a top button.

Its interesting though..some of the best vintage levis Ive come across are from Germany, prob due to the heavy US post war activities and PX stores etc!

really really well done if they are legit,... eBay them man... let them sit untouched in a cabinet in tokyo...

They're jeans, the purpose of jeans is to be worn.

[bluegoldblues]

not when you payed 100 euro for a $3000 pair of jeans...I'm sorry got to draw the line on this one.

[CrashTestBrummie]

+1 (and ten)

[bluegoldblues]

Couldn't disagree with you guys any more...sell them and you can "wear" all the LVC jeans you could ever want!

It would be reckless/ borderline vulgar to wear and completely devalue these but they're your jeans do what you want with them...

after all I guess the purpose of vintage champagne is to be drunk.

[Happy Hooligan]

Wearing deadstock vintage jeans is a tough call. Let's say you have a vintage original car... sure drive it, and when it wears out you can restore it... back to new condition. But deadstock jeans you can wear, but you can't "restore" them.. once they're worn out, they're worn out...

But again, it's your call.

[colgems1966]

if they are indeed deadstock originals it would be very expensive to wear them. also that paper patch is liable to crumble. back in the 90's when they were more plentiful and cheaper i wore several vintage originals. here's what i can tell you; the paper patches may look mint but many break into pieces with any stress at all. second i have sold most of mine but for a lot less than i would have gotten had i left them deadstock/unworn.

[robbie]

Here is the deal, he got something special. He could have the pleasure of wearing them or put them on the shelf and look at them. Jeans aren't made to be 'looked at'. We can't sit here and argue semantics and split hairs. But when the jeans were manufactured, they were manufactured with the sole purpose of being worn. Sure, people collect them. But even if he sold them they're gonna get worn. They might end up in someones collection somehwere unworn, but thats a travesty. If HE didn't wear them no one here is gonna see them get worn.

There are first pressings of albums like 'Kind of Blue' etc ... sealed, never played, MINT. Worth all sorts of money. But honestly can you appreciate the genius of these albums if they are sealed? NO, you can't!

I say wear them, or sell them to someone who will.

[cheapmuthafukr]

if your point in collecting something is to turn a profit, then yeah, dont wear them. if its for the love, then wear the hell out of em.

here some extra pics

Show some pictures of the inside tag. To me, they don't look like they're from the 1950's...

[Shorty Long]

Saw the 1922s in the flesh today. Overall impressed, but the pocket bags were a big disappointment. Shallow like the 15s but the fabric of the bags seemed a much lighter weight than what I'm used to.

I'm psychic- they are releasing a Panatela collection. A $1200 repro '70s polyester leisure suit can't be far behind.

Next, I hope they re-release all the 1980 LA Olympic gear. ESPECIALLY THE TRACK SUITS!

Shorty,

Where did you see them?

[Happy Hooligan]

I have a pair of those 1980's Olympic Levi's Jeans... I believe they're serial numbered too... Nothing like 1980's Mom Jeans...

[colgems1966]

heads up to anyone who may be interested. i have raw 1971 LVC 517's and have liked mine a lot. there is a guy on EBAY selling raw orange tab 1971 LVC 517's for 89.99 shipping incl. he has two pair of 36/34 left if someone wants them.
