Levi's 1947 Raw Model Thoughts...

[Jim Cissell]

You know, time and again it occurs to me, why doesn't Levi's just go ahead and offer their (raw!) 1947 501 model as a regular stock, say along with their so-called 'premium' line?

It's obviously quite popular, it certainly defines the 501 line, and many folks would probably appreciate the hidden rivet detailing, as well as the leather patch, and trim cut.

I'd imagine that trim fit would be starting to come back into style after all of these 'relaxed' years, anyway.

I know the newer 'anti-fit' is derived from this model, but it falls short of the actual, authentic vintage one, in my mind...

supply and demand i guess

I too wish it was more readily available - i've always wanted to get a pair (or a japanese repro) but i refuse to buy without trying them on....
