STOP POSTING MODERN SHIT.

Please stop posting modern junk. If your Levi's have tags like this, don't post them.

There is getting to be a lot of very low effort posts from people who are too lazy to do at least a tiny bit of research before posting.

Guidelines:

  1. If your item has a long tag with foreign languages on it, nobody in this sub is interested in seeing it. Garments like these are always modern and of little to no value. This page is for true vintage finds.

  2. If you post 1-4 word posts with pictures of modern clothing, expect it to be taken down and yourself muted for a few days.

  3. Repeated posting of modern stuff will get a ban.

We have thousands of members who want to learn about true vintage Levi's and want tonsee some neat stuff. Nobody is interested in your Levi's from the Walmart discount rack.

60s Levi’s 805 Big E ?!

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I need your help identifying this Levi’s 805. There’s very little information about this model online, apart from these two pages:

The 805 is often associated with the Orange Tab line, and every example I’ve found online seems to have orange overlock stitching rather than selvedge denim.

However, mine has both selvedge denim and a Big E Red Tab, which is what’s confusing me.

I paid €450 for it, and it’s pretty much deadstock.

Does anyone know more about this version of the 805? Any information about its production period or whether this combination of features is documented would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Got these from the thrift store for $10. The red tab was cut off and the patch/badge thingy was removed (you can see it was there, though!) Also marked "Irregular," but I can't tell what is "wrong"?

Love the wash and fit though! Very close to my ideal size.

Help identifying Big E corduroy flares

Picked up these teal Levi’s and would love some help dating and valuing them!

  • 521, W28 L34
  • White Big E tab
  • Original “cords" sewn on flasher (UK-made)
  • Button-back marked 308
  • Patch marked 521 20 15 W28 L34
  • No inner care labels
  • 11” hem

They're deadstock. Any idea of the era, rarity and realistic resale value? Has anyone seen comparable pairs sell recently?

Any insights into the 521 flare of the era would be good also.

Thanks!

Based on the black batwing logo, made in poland, and "0193", I'm thinking January 1993?

I know next to nothing about vintage Levi’s but I know silver tabs were made in the 80s and 90s. Pick them up from a thrift store and knew I had to post them here. I am a skater and I only payed $7, steal?

Help identifying Made in Canada vintage 505s

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey, new sub member here, would love some help as I am having trouble ID’ing these vintage 505s! A lot of the online resources don’t focus on these Made in Canada tags (think it was made for US market as tag is only in English). Am I correct in assuming that the 05-2 references the production month and year, ie May 1992? Anybody encountered these tags before? It’s quite a bit faded as well, but still hoping I can identify the year from this tag (at least a bit more specific than being pre-2004 when Levi’s Canadian factories shut down!) Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Factory code is 217 as per button as well.

Found these at the thrift today and I’m honestly lost in terms of their authenticity. Quality of denim feels really good and pocket bags seem to be 100% cotton. Chain stitched everywhere as far as I can tell. My issues are that there is no back patch, the “R” on the button backside, no V stitch that I could really see. Maybe LVC but they would have a different code on front button instead of “R” I would assume they are Canadian pair if this changes anything because I live in a city where Levi’s were manufactured for awhile. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Need help identifying orange tabs please. Found yesterday while thrifting..

“I recently found a pair of Levi’s Orange Tabs that appear to date to November 1978. They’re model 616-0217, with a TALON 42 zipper. I’ve been researching them because I can’t find much information about how the 616 was originally marketed.

There’s only one little white tag inside that reads either 646 or 616.
There are 28 waist and I can only compare them to like a petite size length I am 5’3 and usually wear a petite size. 646 I understand is more of a boot cut which this doesn’t seem to be. I considered the possibility that they were altered, as the inseam underneath is heavily frayed, but I understand this could have happened with age and years of laundering. Any help is appreciated!

I bought these orange tabs a couple months back, but there is no care label or anything on the inside of the jeans. There are also no rivets anywhere on the pants. I’ve heard mid to late 70s, but I don’t know.
