The list of button codes I previously posted states 501 as a USA factory code. Why would it be a Thai fake?

No matter what the button states the garment could be a fake together with the button.
I have seen plenty of them in Europe. I can not tell if they are from Thailand or from another place.

Yea I saw that, I’ve always heard that Levi didn’t have a 501 button code, it’s silly that I haven’t read it yet...Didn’t Paul T do a blog post on Thai fakes? |

Mike I’ve been seeming more 80’s and 90’s Levi’s listed on yahoo auctions and eBay, can you give me an idea of what a good deal and top dollar is? Now that made in the USA LVC is no more, I think I’m going to start looking for some try vintage.

It varies depending on the market, let’s take a 1 wash mid 90’s 501 (good size) 27-36/38 waist...that’s a $75-100 pair of pants, that’s what I can flip it, to the guy who sells it in Japan. At my vintage antique booth, I sell super faded 90’s 501’s US made and foreign for $35-45 Now small sizes go for more- someone out there is selling them to shop owners or $75-$100 Small size boys and small men sizes 25w-30w- I’m talking 501’s and 505’s....and just recently 517’s orange tab- these have caught on....The fun part for me is hunting them down for $6-18 at the thrift store....I guess the bottom line is getting them under $20 is a good deal, then there’s shipping. Hope that helps. |

I see lot of jeans stamped with 501 in vintage shops here in Europe. I haven't really paid much attention to them as they seem quite recent (2000's). Often those jeans also have that white "Levi's Original 501" tag at the back of the waistband (inside).

I see that white 501 tag often, seems to first appear around the 2000-2001 time period, I found a 1 wash 2002 pant with button number 555 on it- those early ones n white 501 tag pants will be collectible in the near future- I’ll try and get some pictures up this weekend. |
