Alongside a pair of kids' dungarees I saw in the Levi's archinves, these are some of the cutest Levi's I've ever seen. Late 40s or early 50s 503ZXX.

They're interesting also in that they show that most of the stitching should be orange, as on LVC, but check out the lovely lemon-yellow hems - would love to see that on LVC reissues. Bear that in mind next time you get The CLerk to shorten yer 1947s...

Gorgeous, David. Please show us photos of little Levi in action sometime.

Here's a heads-up courtesy of Fardin - some good deadstock Wrangler in kids' sizes. I will apply a tape measure to the nipper when he gets home tonight...

oh & a quick edit

At what age is it responsible to put a kid in jeans?

I have a 2½ year old sister and it would be in my spirit to give her a pair.

do it! i remember seeing lil davids Levi wearing jeans at a couple of months.

in these pictures in the link below he is 1 month & 13 days old:

Yeah! Cuteness incarnate!

I've added the following photo for its historical interest.

Rock fans will know the guitar work of James Williamson for its sheer nastiness and sleaze - he's a legend of excess, legendarily was shooting speed at 16, and along with his singer Iggy Pop, crashed and burned in a trail of excess in 1974, since when the album they made together, Raw Power, became the key influence on British punk.

And here he is, having shared tea at the Dorchester with the nipper (we'd arranged an interview & I had child-care problems). They talked about Gibson Flying Vs, how you make sushi and whether david Bowie or Iggy Pop was a better dad. It was hilarious.

I've been trying to get my 5 year old to wear the Osk Kosh's that his older brother also refused to wear.

Bloody kids, they're a constant let down ;)

Yea - kids! After me slaving for 3 hours cleaning up the backyard, she wants to head out to the playground.... And now she wants to wear her jeans - on the hottest day of the year! 32 celcius! :rolleyes:

And upon closer inspection, I see that she has "borrowed" my Zissou cardcase too!

So who came out on top in that discussion?

[Quite a diff't question from "who was on top..."]

[Referring of course to the rumored affair between the Igster and Bowie]
