[lunar]

can u guys tell me if this pair of jeans is legit?

i've seen the jeans in real life and they're real hard and rigid. redline selvage too.

but i haven seen this model before and it's a steal price.

is this legit? thanks!

I aint gotta get money man money get me

The leather patch looks very wierd. too "prim and proper" for Levi's

[lunar]

hmm thanks for ur comments guys.

anymore peeps to help me out here?

it's like 20USD. lol.

i've seen it and the red line isn't some pasted-on stitching. the demin is hard and real regid too.

if it's a fake maybe no harm getting it?

thanks!

20 dollars for red-line selvage? be very wary.

[AmericanTemplar]

Those are very fake. I have a similar pair. If you don't mind being seeing wearing obvious fakes, then they're well-worth $20. Unfortunately I paid quite a bit more for mine.

is that selvage on the back pockets and coin pocket? that looks weird as hell

[levistrauss]

What are they supposed to be? What year/number?

[Paul T]

Fake without a doubt. The wide leather patch imitates a later 'leatherlook' patch, with a stock control strip, but hardly any detail on the jeans corresponds to the real thing. Personally I'd rather wear a pair of Uniqlo or H&M selvage rather than something so obviously dodgy.

Top button should be LEVI not LEVS as I have seen this on all Fakes that I have come across. they may be from eurpoe/Africa as they do funk things one of them is the number on the back button being in a triangle and not straight across like the Japanese or American ones. Sizing on fakes are also really off. Tag may say 30 but the jean sizing is more like a 38 or 40. Since you can see them inperson you can check for these thing when you look at them again.

Hope this helps,

Once I got to know all of the nuances of every era's model of Levi's, the difference between the fakes and the real deal became quite apparent. When I got scammed on a pair of fakes on ebay, it was partly due to the fact that the photo's conveniently didn't show the decorative selvege, which is an obvious red flag for phoniness. Since the "big E" only appears on reproductions, any pair of "Levi's" that bare it, shouldn't have any feature's that look as though they wouldn't have existed before the 1970's.
