    All about Levi's

    No problem, I probably didn't state things correctly. And if what J. Crew is picturing on their website is what those jeans really look like, then the pair I have are indisputably different. I was just showing there exists a pair that was sold at one of their retail stores which is very similar...

    All about Levi's

    I believe I did say you could be correct. My apology comment was tongue in cheek. However, your initial stance was one of authority on the issue, and judging by one of your replies, you are no longer sure. I was just sharing some info I thought anyone who reads this thread would be interested...

    All about Levi's

    The picture on the J. Crew website looks like the premium 501 they were premiering at Barney's Co-Op the day I was there. I believe they were around $150, made in the U.S., selvedge, but no hidden rivets or coin pocket selvedge. They had 3 different washes- a dark rinse, light rinse, and a...

    All about Levi's

    I can tell you this much- I have roughly 6 pairs of 1947 LVCs, and these are basically the same jeans, with a small "e". They fit the same and are of the same denim weight. However, no "XX" on the patch, and tagged waist size is not pre-soak. Hence they are tagged true to size. Geez, after...

    All about Levi's

    You could be right. When I told the exec that I bought them for $185, he immediately looked at my receipt, and proceeded to call over to the Liquor Store, wondering why they were sold to me for $185, when they should have been $265. He got off the phone with them, looked at me and said, "You got...

    All about Levi's

    Actually, the 501s that J. Crew are selling are made in the U.S.A. I bought a pair for $185 two months ago at the Liqour Store location. They are basically an LVC 1947 501, rinsed, with all of the same details- coin pocket selvedge, hidden rivets, a slightly thinner selvedge line along the...
