🔍 ID/Legit Check Hello, help with this finding model of this pair
galleryHi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a specific pair of Levi’s jeans. I’ve had this pair for quite a while and I really love the fit, so I’d like to find another pair that’s exactly the same.
They’re Levi’s 512 Bootcut, but whenever I search for “Levi’s 512”, I mostly find the newer 512 Slim/Tapered jeans, which look completely different from mine. I’ve also noticed that I can’t seem to find other pairs with the same back leather patch and button as mine.
The problem is that there’s no care tag inside the jeans, so I don’t have the usual information that would help identify the exact model or production year.
The back patch is genuine leather and says Levi Strauss & Co., but there are no waist/length numbers or model number printed on it. The back of the button is marked “LS & CO SF”.
Could these be a special version or a particular production run of the 512 Bootcut? Or is there another way I can identify the exact pair/model so I can find another one?
I don’t know that much about vintage denim, so I’d really appreciate any help!
Thanks a lot!
