hey im curious when some 505's might have been made that i picked up deadstock from a store. They have this written on the garment wash label

"260 D 20

11 20 650

cant tell if the bartacks are black or really dark navy, they're single stitch with pocket linings of a similar quality to my lvcs, the pockets themselves are the narrower longer type, the denim definetly seems ring ring, small e, all copper threading, they have 650 on the button stamp and no selvage, thoughts?

oh yeah they have a talon 42 if that even matters, if im right someones gonna reply early 70's to mid 80's but im looking for something a little less vague than that hopefully. thanks.

They sound nice! If they are single stitched, they are probably from the very early 70's. The 3 digit top button stamp sounds strange though.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)
