Waistband selvage?

[Guest Berget__]

Anyone ever seen a pair of jeans with waistband selvage? In that case which model? Beacuse I found these jeans on rakuten http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient-menuext&hl=en&u=http%3A//www.rakuten.co.jp/d-stock/540681/596856/#577147 and they are just beautiful. As you can see they are sold out and I would like to get a similar pair. The waistband selvage is just that extra touch.

I've never seen anything like that...I've seen fakes that have selvage all over em'...but this is definitely different.

If it weren't for the single back pocket I'd be all about these...I'm just a little more into symmetrics.

pre-1901 lvc's all have waistband selvage.. and this samurai you posted is a repro of 1890 501xx prob'lly

Ok...so the LVC 1890 501 would have waistband selvage? Anyone know where i can get pics of it? I searched google and rakuten and could only find hanon-shop but they wont show the waistband...

Ok...found sorta what I was looking for. Sugarcane http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient-menuext&hl=en&u=http%3A//www.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/119706/256094/348982/

But I dont like the little pocket on the left leg. If anyone finds anu other 1890 501 repros Please post them.

Those are 1880 replicas. They don't look as good as other Sugarcane for various reasons, the fabric looks too heavy for one. Personally I love that extra pocket - those jeans are a great example of the 'workwear' look of early Levi's.

You should look at the 1890 jeans from current LVC - if they're an accurate repro they will have waistband selvage - they look like a lovely jean. Look at Levi.com to see if they're sitll on there. I have a pair of 1901 repros - they don't have the waistband selvage, altho again, they're terrific jeans - nice fabric, which I'm guessing comes from Kurabo or Kaihara.
