1960s Levi’s USA 501 Selvedge Big E tag n/a Actual 28x27.25
The 501 - the most recognizable and popular jean in history! Straight leg. Button fly.
*Originally men’s jeans, now & forevermore unisex*
Selvedge button stamp 6
If I were to bet money, I’d say these are Big E red tabs, but as you can see the tab is not fully present. And the leather patch is gone, leaving behind beautiful lemon yellow stitching. (They stopped using this in the 70s) I spent nearly an hour with my dating resources and reached out to another vintage Levi’s specialist and we both feel these are Big E. Because of: the presence of lemon yellow stitching, the single stitch inside the back pockets, absence of care tag, and absence of the diamond arcuate on the back pocket stitching. If the big E tab would actually be present, it would be a no brainer, these would be $1200+, but I can’t guarantee.., so I’m meeting you in the middle.
(Follow up: it’s been confirmed by another specialist, these are Big E)

WASH: stunning classic indigo blue wash with awesome organic sun fades and distressing. Cool leather belt loop replacement on back and repair on knee. These are truly incredible.

EXPECTATIONS OF VINTAGE JEANS
Sold as is. Keep in mind, vintage jeans are not new jeans. Every pair is at least 20 years old, most are older. This means they’ve been worn and likely have signs of wear - i.e. thinning areas, loose threads, signs of previous repair work, discolorations, faint (or not so faint stains), organic distressing, wear at the rivets, wear at the button holes. I do my best to describe these areas/signs of wear&tear, so please - before you buy - understand that you may receive your jeans and there will be signs of aging. Most buy vintage jeans wanting this, but if you want pristine new looking jeans, vintage likely isn’t for you. And that’s A-OK!
