Question About These Levis I Got Today

[dcrevolution40]

Ok so I went to Buffalo Exchange in BK today. These jeans caught my eye, and when I picked them up, I was like ooo wow I think these are some really nice levis. Tried em on, fit mad nice, copped em. 30 BUX! What I am asking is are these the LVC 1947 ones that cost like 200? I know absolutely nothing about levis at all. So I am just wondering, cuz they fit soo nice!

[poly800rock]

look like 1947's to me, on the tag somewhere, it should read xxxx47xxxxx

[Bill2]

definitely look like 47's. You'll look on the top of the white paper tag that wraps around the waistband. Along the skinny edge it'll have 47501 on it.

Keep in mind that these are shrink to fit denim! If you love the fit now, don't ever get them wet.....they'll be significantly smaller afterwards.

30 bucks? damn, beezy. thats a deal.

[knucks]

$30 ? Nice

[lilldavid]

congratulation!!

[DJ2xTech]

anything else catch your eye there?

[z twill / s twill]

Yeah man, great deal!

[Dogfarm]

Heck of a deal! Nice pick up.

Great pick up dc! Def a steal.

Don't mean to deviate too far from the main topic, but are all of the levis "vintage" clothing that are sold in the levis stores now a days actually from way back or are they reproduced versions? How do the different years of 501s differ from each other? I never really understood this and I was wondering if anyone can clear this up for me. Seeing as how this is a thread based on vintage 501 I decided to post up here instead of the small questions thread.

Thanks in advance

the lvc sold nowadays are repros. as for the differences between 501's, consult the superdenim encyclopedia at the top of this forum... there are a few links to threads about differences.

[Superstar]

they are repros... if you have authentic 1947 501's you can soon be a very rich man...

the one thing i know about different years version of 501's is differed especially on the leather patch, which they changed once and a while...

thanks a lot guys...i'll be sure to take more time to read the encyclopedia

[lilodxd]

damn that's a steal. did they have any more?

[grapz]

can ne1 verify the authenticity of this

[dcrevolution40]

authenticity of what homie? You want a pic of my receipt haha.

Anyways, nah they didn't have anymore. But Buffalo Exchange in BK is awesome. Stuff I have seen there includes: cloak, apc, diesel style lab, nudie, and thats just jeans.

[Superstar]

of course people go off on autenthicity when somebody cops something at almost a tenth of the normal price... who can blame em..

dc, that cop seems to good to be true though... nice one..

[sonick]

Aren't these unsanforized, ie. Shrink to fit? If they fit like a glove on you right now, plan on never ever washing them lol.

....not really....they stretch back out.....

[kert]

yeah, you should sell them cause they'll shrink. since i'm a sz 30 i'll pick them up from you... for 30 bux:)

[dcrevolution40]

Im never going to wash them anyways. Plus they dont really fit like a glove, they fit a little baggy like I like my jeans.

[mspark]

Ok that tears it. I gotta hit Buffalo exchange up this week.

[sonick]

....not really....they stretch back out.....

Not if they're unsanforized (i.e. 501XX STFs, etc.) which shrink about 2-3 inches in length, and about an inch in the waist usually.

For sanforized jeans, they will shrink slightly in the wash, but stretch back out.

[adsurgo]

I'm really interested in the cloak jenas they had... any other info on them? did you see them this time or at a previous visit?

[dcrevolution40]

like 3 weeks ago. They were black that all I know. I don't wear that stuff. They dont have em no more either. They were $58.

[lilodxd]

this place sounds sweet. gotta drop by sometime soon.. but williamsburg is so far out of my way.
