Thai Levi's Fakes

[egyptian]

Another pair of Thai Levi's 501xx, still, I wouldn't say it's fake, it's a repro, it's not copying any specific model of Levi's. The leather patch and red tab are terrible but the denim is really nice. I also like the linen pocket bags. I don't know for sure if these are made in Thailand.

Here's a guy rocking a Union Mall, upstairs of a jeans shop:

It's clearly a fake because it is ( again ) clearly state that it's a Levi's when they don't have right to do so.

Unless the manufacturer got a license to produce it though.

I just bought these on eBay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/130741993799?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_6788wt_1271

I'm skeptical about their authenticity. They're small e 501's with a zipper? Is it even possible that they're real? There is no care tag, it's been removed. Thanks for any help.

They're absolutely not LVC. LVC has never produced a model with bartacks and leather 2-horse patch. THere is a vague possibility they could be a recent generic reissue as the arcuates are like those on current models - but they are definitely not LVC as the buyer claims.

(That, incidentally, is why you got them for $35).

That guy on the union special was fucking great at his job. Did a fair few pairs of mine.

Completely off topic but that place is under new management now and the old staff are long gone.

Finally. I can't believe no one else finds "Rumble Dry" funny. I guess there are just too many Germans on this Forum. :tongue:

I totally understand and appreciate the advice to not fight in the rain.
