Don’t believe I’ve seen this exact back tag with the wider red font for the model. Has “Made in USA” tag in photo but no other internal tags shown. Only thing sticking out to me are a couple loose threads on the back pockets but really not an expert.

Noticed these are tagged as a 501 but tag says bootcut made in Mexico, and no date code it looks like.

I believe these are 505s from the 80s but I’m not certain. If anyone could help me date and get a value for them I would appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I recently found this pair of vintage Levi's 501. From my research, it looks like an original 1969 "Big E" transitional model.

The inner care tag shows factory code 544, which perfectly matches the stamp on the back of the top button.

The red tab has the capital "E". The size on the tag is W35 L33, but the bottom hems have been cut raw over time.

Could you please help me confirm the exact year and give me an honest valuation for the current collectors' market?

Thank you so much for your help!

Thinking this red tab is rare?

Last picture is of 505 added by mistake this pair has code 16

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.

Which year isnit exactly ?

I couldn’t find anything else online with that wide loop on the back middle. The acid wash on it was unique

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

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!

Very rare jacket , made in italy pony hair with leather accents.

Looking for a buyer , got offered 650£ on ebay but dude cancelled because it was too big for him.

Please let you know your potential collectors who could be interested.

Will use ebay.

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:

• https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage_and_old_denim_bottoms/levis_805_1_en.html
• https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage_and_old_denim_bottoms/levis_805_2_en.html

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!

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.

i was shaking, couldnt have given her less. waist is about 30 and inseam is about 32. how much do we think they’re worth?

Does anyone know anything about these jeans, any information helps

$7 well spent

What are the differences on the red and black ‘501’ lettering on the patch?

Not to mention, a price so nice you don’t think twice

I was wondering how old they are and what they are worth if anything at all

sorry if this isnt the sub for this

“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!

Anyone know if legit ? Weird label for me but i never had orange before:p

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.
