???? - Indigo quality

[Shorty Long]

I've noticed a few posts around here discuss the quality of indigo, or lack of quality in the new jeans, especially Levi's. So...is there a difference in the indigo used in standard (today's Red Tab) rigid 501s and that which is used in the rigid LVC jeans, or is the difference solely in the construction of the actual jeans?

Thanks.

I'm interested in this. I've seen a few people say the Indigo, presumably from Cone, is not up to par. Yet some of the LVC denim looks terrific, in particular the Indigo Immortal, and its plain version, the 1901 501s, which have a terrific, very dark cast; the pair I have are developing a really good, high contrast. I assume the 1901 jeans used Cone denim, so are they using different dying methods?
