Thrifter's thread: Levi's 501 (1960's-1990's)

No I didn’t, but the back of that tag doesn’t look like any tag I’ve seen before, I suppose that doesn’t mean they didn’t have a tag like that....but out of 400 plus pairs, I haven’t seen it. I’m a little suspicious o that 30x36 deadstock pair.

Edit- I looked at some of my wash tags from this era, yea it looks normal
The number 3 2 after the button number, this Should be March 92
I’ll have to look at more, I thought the month should be 03 for March then one number for the year
Then in 1993? The year gets two numbers- like 93 for 1993.

I’ll look into it.

Looks legit to me, it also has the right brownish color to the label.

Eastern Europe knock offs. Have 2 of them. Tags inside fade after 2 washes. Even experts cannot tell if they are legit or not. When you wear them, then you feel the bad denim. The rip line and no button number is exactly what I have bought years ago. Still like knew thogh but I avoid wearing them.
Someone ripped me off. The store had mixed fake and legit stock.

Right. Couldn't enlarge the photo before on the cell phone.
