The good news is that Levis has recently launched (or re-launched?) their "skinny leg" jeans, which harken back to the fit and cut of the classic Levis like the 505. I have a few questions about Levis 501 vintage . I have some 1947 model bought a few years ago , model 47501-0136 with Cone Denim from north Carolina .

Understanding the Context

It... After stumbling onto this website by accident for the 3rd time over the course of a couple years i have managed to register and now finally, my first post. I found a really nice looking suit jacket with the wonderful label of "ACTION SUIT" for 25$ at a vintage clothing store. It is in excellent...

Key Insights

I hate the way Levis mark their jeans with the size that they are, rather than the size that they shrink to. I had a similar experience to yours with a pair of 30x32 1937s - they're currently up for sale on eBay! The problem in the US with Levis Vintage is availability- they are actually made in large numbers but they sell way more in Europe than they do in the US- American demand and interest is pretty low, which seems strange- but then maybe a lot of Americans don't want to spend so much on a pair of jeans- accurate repro or not. Picked up a made in America Levis Trucker jacket. It has the small e and 4 pockets but the back label says made in USA.

Final Thoughts

So the 4 pockets makes it mid 80s to present and the made in USA puts it pre 2003 is this correct? Is there anyway to narrow down the time more? Thanks.
