THAI Fake 501 Big E World Tour

[selaviso]

honestly im down for the short inseam (even though im short haha) because it gives it more of a vintage feel because they didnt care about stacking and all that jazz back then.

[inthemix_]

hey.. i dont think i'd be able to take these.. waist is too big for me, unfortunately.. i wish i could take part in this epic thai fake contest. send them away to selvasio!

[chrisj]

hey i'm down to participate. let me know if thats cool via supermsg

[selaviso]

thanks thanks i cant wait to get em! sucks though because the program i just got into requires me to wear a uniform but the class time is 8 to 1 so by 2pm they will be worn to infinity and ....til i have to throw my uniform back on haha.

[Mr Black]

So if i'm No 6- that should be a june/july wear?

[Ozone]

It depends on other people sending them in time and them arriving safely.

[Ozone]

bump 10 characters.

[salaami]

the idea behind this is ill, because the denim in these thai fakes is prob. better than the cone denim levis uses. HA! what a smack in the chops...beautiful. i hope they fade sweet as shit. show those fuckers!

[goat]

[selaviso]

[selaviso]

[soonami]

When's it my turn!?!?

jk, just PM me when whoever is before me now is ready to pass them on

[G!zM() 17]

Hope I don't get flamed for this!

Well, I was clearing out my closet the other day and found a pair of fake Levi's I bought many many years ago - so I thought I might as well just share the pics for those people who want to see how the fade is on a fake pair.

I wasn't a denim head back then so I couldn't even tell whether it was authentic or not when I bought it. However, I do not endorse using fake products so please spare me.

Tab on back pocket and double (triple??) chain stitching.

[selaviso]

fake or not that is a great pair of well worn jeans man. good shit.

[salaami]

seconded. these fade just as well as the real LVCs

[denimformytummy]

No worries. ur levis turn out great. Even the fake one come with chain-stitching.

To be honest, I prefer thai fake levis than Levi's STF.

[salaami]

the thai fakes are def better than the STFs and cheaper.

[Guest DCDenim]

everyone prefers the fake 501s for their fading and quality components (except sayocean) that's the irony.

hell if these thai fakers had half a brain they would just start their own label and easily sell those selvedge raw jeans for way more than selling fake 501s or they would fake a more exclusive brand than levis.

I don't really get how two or three middlemen could profit on $10 jeans. Makes you wonder what selvedge jeans really cost to make and how much $$$ levis (or any denim label) makes on their $98 selvedge 501s..

I think the average wage of thai women is nothing, the boss can profit as much as he wants by using slave, theres very little human rights in thailand also the profit could depend on how much the tourist is overcharged or not bothering to argue for a low price, i could have been charged about $30 a pair if it wasn't for my Thai friend helping to get a low price.

These weren't sold in all the markets in Thailand just in one or two stalls in Chatuchak, so i think they're just a small group making these, they weren't on view i asked at a stall selling the faded variety and he went to get them from another place 5 mins later, they were either on another stall or were put away somewhere, i didn't stay to look any more i just got out before i malted in the 120 degree heat.

Serious, where could I get a pair to throw into the rotation?

[salo]

always curious to where the thai fakers get the selvedge denim from.

made in thailand?

that's the only reason i wouldn't buy fakes. i know my pants are probably sweat shop made... but at least mexico has better human rights than thai land, well far as i know.

[Guest DCDenim]

what about the dominican republic?

[sayocean]

hell if these thai fakers had half a brain they would just start their own label and easily sell those selvedge raw jeans for way more than selling fake 501s or they would fake a more exclusive brand than levis.

Dude you're truly dumb as hell. If you had a quarter of a functioning human brain you would know the reason they don't fake lets say the flat head or any other "upper tier" repros is because most tourists who travel to Thailand aren't going their to cawp these fakes. The only ones going ape shit over thai fakes are people who obviously know what they are or if sufu brigade decided to have a sufu thai meet up. Levi's is a global brand meaning if you go to bufuville anywhere in the world, they will at least recognize the brand. To the casual tourist, $10 levi jean is a steal. To the same tourist, $10 flathead knock off is just another pair of jeans they don't give two shits about and will pass on over to the next stall.

Say hello to the zookeepers for me, I hope they are feeding you well dcdenim you fucking retard

*and I do apologize to Ozone for shitting up yet another thread, but with dcdenim, its hard to play "nice"

[Guest DCDenim]

sayocean, after meeting you, I'm in favor of abortions in cases of incest.

that would explain why they sell fake nudies, diesel, replay, true religion and almost everything else you can think of in thailand! Thanks for straightening that out. You forget not every tourist is as oblivious to fashion as you are..

Yeah, I'll pass on that hello to the zookeeper for you next time I'm out there taking pics of your mom to add to my macaques scrapbook.

Damn dude, you really do have it bad. Reading comprehension I thought was a 3rd grade lvl concept. The fact that you consider diesel, true religion and nudie "upper tier" REPRO brand is the problem. strike 3, now stfu. The whole time I'm saying its not a smart business decision to sell something other than the ubiquitous Levi's brand and heres you spewing your honest forum retardism.

It's obvious you made a dumbass comment. Either own up to your stupidity or shut the fuck up, its much too late to save face. And who the fuck keeps a "macaques scrapbook." gtfo boyscout

[Guest DCDenim]

did I say 'upper tier repro brand' anywhere you dumb fuck?

I said 'more exclusive'... reading comprehension, son.

I like to keep scrapbooks of wildlife, so sue me.

Boyscout? I'm not the one shorter than a 12 year old.

Fuck dude, reading comprehension is totally lost on you. Re-read. I edited out the hate so you can actually focus on the easy. I said "upper tier" repro. I'm sick of explaining this shit to you. Most will get this, you won't so either re-read and stfu or whatever, you're a dumbass either way.

[salaami]

made in thailand?

yeah, and if its as good as cone's denim, thats a damn shame. and if the denim is near the quality of a japanese 'repro-brand's'' denim, thats even worse.

btw, you 2 dudes are spittin' straight venom! this is better than VH1
