The wash tag doesn’t look like this in this time period- made in USA and made in California- seems they should Have added made in the lower 48…Just ( made in USA) is the usual. |

Been a lifelong Levi's fan but new to the LVC scene. I've come across a pair which I believe to be a knock off of a Japanese reproduction, though I'm not a 100% certain:

I’ve been keeping an eye on yahoo Japan, and a 33 waist seems like I’d have some margin for error, but 33 waist is pretty rare. 32, all day long. Story of my life.
I found a worn pair of 32s that measures wearable for me, what amount of stretch and shrink are people experiencing with the Japanese made versions? I see some 32s listed measuring under 30” and this particular pair around 31”. |

Robroy- thanks! That is a gem.
If all those are Japanese production I’ve missed a few things- let’s keep an eye out on yahoo.jp for Japanese made 201s and 1983s... |

These are my 1937 Japanese Levi's 501. From the inside label I think they were made in September 2003. It's a shame the leather tag is gone. I have preferred to sew a piece of leather to them that to leave it with nothing. Having seen original Levi's from that era, the rear pocket bows on this replica are just too perfect. I have also put some cat's eye buttons on them because they are a bit too big for me. Regards.
