Thrift Store SCORE!!!!!

[Serge d Nimes]

Look what I got in my local Goodwill today! I went to go pick up a piece of vintage stereo equipment off Craigslist and stopped by Goodwill on the way home! These are mid 50's Lee 101B will full, not half selvage. They look to be in one wash condition. 36W 29L.

[Serge d Nimes]

The other jeans are my 101Z from the same era. They are half selvage.

[Dick Danger]

I hate you.

[Circanineteen85]

The other jeans are my 101Z from the same era. They are half selvage.

wow, if i didnt already hate you for how amazing your jeans were faded i'd hate you for those... 6.99! thats insane... amazing find man i could only be more jealous if they were my size.

[Serge d Nimes]

They are not my size either, but they are a good size for ebay! 36's probably sell for more than any other waist size. I will hold onto them for a long while though.

[hurleyboarder11]

6.99?!

I need to go swing by some thrift stores near here...that's insane

nice pickup

[the black arm]

well done . . .there's gold in them there hills!

[kiya]

whow..

that would definitely make my week...

nice job..

[magus1234]

those are so ugly. Good find though...

[machineo]

you left the tag on in that selvage shot...

fucker

[buzzed]

they look a little more faded than a one-wash? probably just the pictures..

[tweeds]

nice one serge. how much would the jean fetch on ebay?

really is nice.

[sybaritical]

Nicely done Serge.

This made me very happy.

[Charlie Delta]

Nice find, must have been overlooked by the "selvedge filter system©" every thrift store seems to use these days.

[blm14]

are they both 29L inseam? I'm a size 36...

[cheapmuthafukr]

damn you serge... and i was happy with my new single stitch 517 that i picked up... need to take some pics of those... amazing denim...

but yeah... amazing find... those 101b look really nice.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

wow! great pickups

that's quite a haul right there

[sycamore no more]

The thrift stores you live near are amazing?

[mizanation]

nice...

pics?????

[Serge d Nimes]

I think they are worth around $600-$700. I have found some good things in thrift stores around here, but nothing this nice. I have scored 2 pairs of redlines and some vintage sweatshirts, old Gucci watches, other old mechanical watches, war era zippos....

[BumbaClot]

Serge if it were anyone but you* I would be mad.

*or paul

[cheapmuthafukr]

im mad it wasnt me... im still waiting to find some nice vintage denim like that... some big e levis or redlines...

lees like that would be nice too... or non broken twill bluebell wranglers.

[meader]

This is madness. You should be happy.

[zelah]

goodwills around here know to look for selvage, then put them online for $ =/

[Serge d Nimes]

I think they are more than one but fewer than 5 washes.

I am really shocked that I found these. You guys don't want to know how many hours I have spent in my life long search for vintage denim.

[tweeds]

Serge if it were anyone but you* I would be mad.

*or paul

i think this is pretty much how i feel. not that i would be mad...if it had been most other people who had found this catch i think it would be a bit unjustified. but congratulations serge, this piece is definitely worth the hours spent!

keep it for another 20 years.

[Dogfarm]

Wow. I love Lee, I love 101z, I love those jeans! Awesome score Serge those a jean collectors wet dream. Your story is like one of those Penthouse forum articles. Your all like "so I was just walking along when these two hot jeans started totally kissing each other...and then me!"

Ah, goosebumps! Simply Beautiful jeans.

[goingforthegusto]

AmVets in SD know what's up. They had a pair of Levi's (didn't pay too much attention to the model) over there for $69.99.

Nice find though!

[er_george]

i got a lee factory outlet near me, most of the time theres nothing special there but i got a pair of japnese repro 1944 101b's (i think) for £20

[kauflust]

Nice find, must have been overlooked by the "selvedge filter system©" every thrift store seems to use these days.

Does that occur mostly in larger cities? It's an easy drive out to the boonies here, so if smaller towns' thrift stores don't actively look for selvedge I might take a day thrifting and buying local cheese.
