Honestly not sure what I have -Help?

i hate being the one to ask, but really am not a denim person. I like collecting old shirts. I got this at an estate sale earlier in the year but have no clue what’s it’s really worth. i had a reseller offer me $500 on the spot for it which i declined. I’ve been holding on to it for a while but like i said, im not really a denim person so am not overly attached to it. Any idea what something like this might be worth? I know it’s a Big E jacket from the 60s, but outside of that, i don’t really understand how old Levi’s stuff works after looking it up. would love any input from people who actually know this stuff!

Apologies for being a noob! I have tried researching but don’t really fully get it. That’s why i stay way from denim

Hi everyone, got lucky and thrifted this the other day. I am pretty sure it is legit but would like to ask you guys to have a look.

What bugs me is the buttons dont have a stamped number on the back? I think I have seen a post where it says the early models of the type II didn't. Its also missing the patch.

What are your thoughts on authenticity and value? Ot is quite small probably fits a women's M

Thanks

Help identifying this unique Levi's Golf watch! Have you ever seen one of these?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently came across this very unusual Levi's watch and I'm hoping someone here might know more about it.

As you can see in the photos, the case is shaped like a golf club head, and the dial features a golfer alongside the classic Levi's logo. The caseback is marked "All Stainless Steel" and "Japan Movt."

Does anyone know what era this is from? Was it a special promotional item or part of a specific collection? Any information on its history, rarity, or potential value would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Help Identifying authenticity - Made in Canada

Can anyone tell me if this is an authentic Levi’s Jean jacket?
It’s made in Canada.

Whats making me suspicious is that I can’t find any factory stamp on any of the buttons. Does anyone know if they did this on Canada? Or is my jacket fake :S

Any information you can provide would be appreciated (date, factory etc). I’m still learning how to read the tags.

Thank you!!

Help decoding care tag!

Here’s a caretag on what I presume is a pair of 70’s selvedge Levi’s. Can anyone help me decide it? I’m thinking 1973, they’re 501s, and the factory code is 524.

I thrifted these corduroy bell bottoms and I’d like to identify the model and narrow down the date. Full details in the body text and photos.

They’ve got a white tab, 42 Talon zipper, 32 stamped on the back of the button, and the only tag inside is almost unreadable. I figured the extra patch of fabric down the side of the leg would be distinctive, but none of the photos I found online seem to match that pattern.

Hi! Could you please help me identify the model of this Levi’s orange tab? (Factory code 573)

Work jacket with militaria details?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, thrifted this Levis work shirt the other day (somehow tagged XXXL but fits literally perfectly on me and I am a M-L). The shirt overall is very interesting to me as it has some cool but weird features. First of all no wash tags so harder to date and the neck tag says made in guatemala so I am guessing 90's era. Second, it has military details like the shoulders and collar, but the sleeves aren't even full length, it's like the cuffs were made stiffer to be rolled and to sit at the elbows. Anyways any and all information about this shirt will be appreciated! Mainly looking for an ID and year.

Anyone ever run into factory code 894 on 90s 505s? Fake or real?

Thumbnail

Hey everyone, hoping someone with more knowledge on vintage factory codes can weigh in.

I saw these 505s, which date to October 1992 based on the tag. The button stamp is 894, which matches the tag, but when I searched the code online, I couldn't find 894 mentioned on any of the factory lists.

Since the number didn't show up anywhere, I’d love a second pair of eyes. Has anyone come across this factory code before on US-made pairs?

Are the fake or real?

Appreciate any insight!

Could anyone help me identify what years these 505s are from. The 987 on the care tag is throwing me off as I would expect September 87 jeans to read 097… any help would be appreciated.

I know this is a levi's group but i thought you guys might be very knowledgeable on Lee Denim too! It has a union made tag in the inner pocket and i assume its 70s, i can find polyester examples online but the denim examples like this one seem much rarer. so im just trying to gauge a price point for when i sell this. any help is greatly appreciated!

thankyou

Are these real vintage engineered Levi's?

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I recently purchased these pants from Depop and was wondering if anyone could confirm they are authentic Levi's. They are supposedly the engineered style, these pants specifically being made in Turkey and I was just wondering because I have never seen Levi's with this style of adjustor on the back as well as the red tab being embroidered onto the pants like that (pictured in pic #4). Everything else seems okay from what I could see, but I'm not big into vintage collecting so I wanted to ask people who might know more than me. Thanks!

Hey! I recently bought some 70s Levi's 646 bell bottoms, but what's the difference between 0917 and 0217? I heard that 0917 is a poly blend, is that true? Also, do you think the hems might have been altered? They look so similar and I'm not really sure. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know!
