vintage levi's question

[bencalvord]

hi everyone, even though this is my first post i am not new to raw denim. im currently working on jean shop rockers that im liking a lot. anyway, i dont know much about vintage levis and came across a pair of 517 single stitches. they are deadstock form the 1970's, the only other information i have is that they are single stitch. since i know nothing about levis, are these jeans worth $75? are they selvedge? and are they sanforized?

thanks

yeah, those are sanforized, not selvage. they should shrink and inch in length and half in the waist. really nice denim on those if they are the ones im thinking of... single stitch little e red tab?

they are a boot cut... but not too much flare on them... maybe an inch from knee to hem.

as far as worth 75... i know levis did an lvc version of them and they were more than 75. if they are orange tab than you may be able to find them cheaper. if i wanted some bootcuts, and they fit me, id pay it.

im sure they are red tab little e. i just cant decide between these or a pair of apc's for my next jeans, i still have several months to go until i finish my jean shops. i have never owned vintage levis and i dont know how they will fade or how long they will last compared to apc or any japanese denim.
