gotta love the wear marks from striking matches...

denim is the new crack

[horriblyjollyjinx]

wow, so good looking. they should go for a loooot.. I wonder if nice wear can ever increase the value over a pair of deadstocks? prolly not..

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

damn! and they should fit me too...

[damnIam]

I have to say, those are the most authentic looking vintage 501s I have seen in a very long time. That being said, I would not pay a grand for them...no way. I have never bought a pair of jeans that someone else broke in except once, I snaked a pair of old (late 30s) Lee carpenter jeans that I just could not resist at a thrift store. I have been offered 250 bucks for them. My main reasoning is personal and probably not rational. I just place the most value on the jeans being something that I created through my own personal wear. Everybody knows I am scared as shit of horses, I don't smoke and a saddle is the most foreign thing I can imagine, so I would feel kinda of stupid sporting around in a real cowboys kit. Admittely, they are very desireable though.

[lyingonyourdriveway]

oh yeah baby

[cant_sleep]

mmmmm, crotches

[Busted Seam]

They are fantastic. Levi's have a very similar pair in their archives, from the late 20s or early 30s, with fantastic high contrast fading, really good depth to the indigo, like this, and spur bites - they should bring out a replica. This pair is probably late 40s, so it will fetch a good price.

[Bill2]

What a great Ebay set-up also. Too bad that only sellers that have jeans going for a G take that much care in setting up a sale. Good pictures, and lots of them. Solid descriptions. You really feel like you know what you're getting

Fuck....more shit to buy

[Guest Fade to Black]

Those jeans are fucking incredible...from now on i'll hold these as the jeans standard that every worn in pair of jeans should strive for.

[partytaco]

and that's the second pair of levis from the same period this person has sold. the last pair went for almost $1200 and weren't as nice as these. how much did that deadstock pair of late 40's 501xxwith flasher tags still attached end up going for...i know it ended a couple weeks ago and last time i saw them they still had a day left with a price of close to $3000.

[tweeds]

Wow it's at $416 with 7 days to go, and 10 bids. I think a grand for this is worth it actually, but i'd hardly dare to wear it. It's just a bit...silly, you know, to wear a pair that has been worn in so beautifully that it's obvious it's wasn't done by you.

But wow, what a pair. The wear in the front is simply gorgeous.

[spitzbrg]

How about these??

Those are some sweet jeans, I predict they will go for $2100

Those barely post war S501XX sold for $5050.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

First Time I've seen Match Strike marks on an eBay pair yet. I think those alone make these a little more unique than the others that I've seen.

[cheapmuthafukr]

those look like they havent been washed much either... color is darker than new STF

denim is the new crack

[AznInvazn]

lol, they're already at $1000! Man, I'ma take up smoking just so I can get sweet jeans in the long run. I don't care if It makes me die 10 years younger.

[evisu 2000]

^ you'd need to find vintage deadstock strike anywhere matches.

knameans.

[triniboy27]

Or you could use your Zippo.

[cheapmuthafukr]

just looking at these again because they look so fucking good, and i realized something seemed off. no leg twist. these are RAW!!! this is the granddaddy of all superfuture denims.

[macuser3of5]

match-strike marks > brass knuckles

that's crazy. those jeans were NEVER washed...

[2000dB]

Maybe it's just be but it seems like there's some leg twist. You can see in the pics that the left leg outseam is more in front that the right leg outseam which is how rh twill should twist if I'm not mistaken. They're quite an awesome pair. I love the match marks!

[cheapmuthafukr]

the leg twist would be very noticeable. my redlines twisted 90 degrees.

[2000dB]

Really? My jeans don't twist that much. I think that when looking at both outseams, you can see twisting.

[cheapmuthafukr]

what kind of jeans do you have? heres my levis. all vintage 501 redlines should have this kind of twist after washing.

[2000dB]

That is indeed some hardcore twisting. I've had Denime XX ans APC and I own some Eternal 811.

[rnrswitch]

My canes have a similar twist about pi/2 radians.

Anyone care to wonder how that leather tag got so beat the hell up. I kinda like the effect and wouldn't mind faking it on my canes.
