70's jeans

[ruben]

So...
I'm a big fan of Bruce Springsteen's style, as well as the stylings of other late-60's early-70's rockers (particualry british invasion guys).

Anyways, I was wondering what type of jeans these guys were wearing?
They're in (most cases) skin tight, verys straight and tapered to match the legs.

One of the reasons I'm curious is, unless I'm mistaken, this era sorta predates designer jeans (and eve still I can't see Bruce and little Stevie wearing Glora Vanderbuilt jeans back then).

Any ideas?
Did Levis come in much slimmer cuts back then? Were old 501s tighter?

I'm really just curious.

Yes, the 501 used to be way tighter. In fact, the tightest 501 there ever was was the one in 1966.

yeah, like that?

It occurs to me...
is tighness somewhat affected by the size you pick?
I normally wear size 32, but if I wanted super tight jeans could I buy 30's and have them stretch to fit?
Maybe that's what they used to do.

Why get copies when you can get the real deal.

I don't know my Levi's, but how about the upcoming LVC 67 505XX (or any 505 repros)?
