WTB: vintage Levi's ~31x33

[brozek]

I've never had luck finding a vintage pair of Levi's at a thrift shop, and my desire to have a pair is overcoming my desire to treasure-hunt for a $6 pair.

I'm willing to pay ~$75 and I'm looking for a pair of big E, selvage, relatively dark (or at least medium blue - I just can't pull off stonewashed or light blue) vintage Levi's with a 31-32 waist and 33"+ inseam. Jeans in terrible shape are fine, since these would be an occasional-wear pair and I mostly want them to be able to say I have them.

I'm sure one of you has a pair like that sitting unworn in the bottom of a drawer, right? My e-mail is [email protected] if you're rather contact me or send photos that way. Thanks!

You may find some redlines for $75 but they probably won't be big E if they are real vintage. I suspect you might even have a hard time getting some worn out LVC big E for $75. Try ebay, you can usually get some pretty dark small e redlines for around that price. If you want authentic big E vintage be prepared to spend $100 to $150 and that will probably be a mid sixties to 1970 pair without hidden rivets.

Damnlam and his angry Johnny Cash avatar are right - I could go up to about $111 (which is what I have in my paypal account right now) for a big-E pair, but it looks like I'm probably in the price range for a small-e pair.
