Weird type of 501 stf /LVC???

[cq45]

i just bought some Levis and they're quiet a unique pair. they have a MSRP of $98.00 and have a leather patch but the E is not capitol.

they also came with this leather hang tag dated 2005 that says that this is a pair of levi's?

any way i can tell if they're LVC or not?

[cq45]

P.S. It also has a selvage unlike the cheap pairs you find at fred meyers / jc penny /sears

ask da seller

cant, got em at Ross for $15 due to a tag mixup

the msrp is 98.00

[whatuknowaboutthat]

u most likely have a pair of "Premium Wash" 501s. If you check the tag, it should say Made in Mexico. Bartacked, nothing special. They're on sale for like 78 bucks now.

okay thats probably what it is then. i noticed that the selvage is redline. can anyone confirm that that is what i have. thanks a bunch. $15 bucks isn't that bad huh..

[salo]

you can confirm it on your own by checking the tag?

[chris_n]

you got ripped off. redline selvage is shit. leather selvage is where it's at.

haha.

oh noez!! my $20.00 !!!!

[Shorty Long]

almost positive they're not LVCs...maybe an old pair of 'premiums' or the non-LVC 1947s they came out with a year or two ago

[whatuknowaboutthat]

as i've said before, these are the "premium" wash 501s. Non-LVC, non-capital e. Redline selvage, made in mexico, bartacked, nothing too good, nothing too bad. I think i've seen an evo pic of these on here so they don't suck by no means but again, they aren't anything to write home about. But for 15 bucks hell yeh its a steal. Let us know how they shrink.

[oohh AN]

theyre just selvage 501's. not lvc nor is it the regular 501's from sears or whatever.

Yeah, these are the Selvage STF 501s that were floating around 2006-7. Not LVC, but Levi's attempt at capitalizing on the raw denim trend. I saw a pair while in NYC a year and a half ago and if I remember, they have some the nice details, selvage coin pocket, hidden rivets, maybe even single stitching. From the worn pairs on the board, they seem to fade pretty well.

Really not that unique though, probably more of these around than LVC's, but it's a really, really nice buy at $15. You could probably flip them on ebay for more than $50 if so inclined, if not a solid pair to wear

found these jeans over at urban outfitters recently. lucky enough for me they were the only pair and sz 30 x 34 (my size) which retailed for 88 but marked for 40. to my suprise they rang up as 19.99. they werent that bad same thing as regular STF just a bit softer and with a red selvage line and leather tag

hmm.. describes my pair to the tee

if i could add another question do these shrink as much as the regular cheap STF's? the inseam is my actual size and waist is a size too big. im hoping that they dont turn into high waters. if so i might have to sell them, either way is good in my eyes

[soonami]

yeah they'll shrink as much as regular STF, like 1-2 in the waist and 2-3 in the inseam

[cq45]

okay well im a 36x32 and these are a 38x30

i think the tags are fucked up though since the measure the same as my cheap pair of 501's (38x36)

im shrinking them in a couple of hours or if not tomorrow. ill let everyone know how they are.

cold soak for about 2 hours then hang drying is my plan

because they are the same jeans one is just selvage.

but the salvaged pair is labeled a 30 inseam while the non-selvage pair is labeled 36 and they measure the same

[cq45]
