Ernest, there are at least 3 "types/qualities" of the classic 501s. First there is the standard "Red Tab" 501s, which you find everywhere, then there is the "Premium" 501s, which is different mainly because of the washes/effects on the denim. Lastly, and most different is the "Levis Vintage Clothing" 501s. These are made in the USA using original selvedge denim from the original source. There are different fits according to the model year: eg. 1933 fits very different from 1966. These are the best 501s in terms of quality, and "originality"How to see it?
Ernest, I think in terms of construction and fabrics, all 501s are the same EXCEPT for the Levis Vintage Clothing, which has better fabrics and better construction. Those are the only ones made in the USAI was talking about the simple red line, because you can find many 501 in supermarket at 30% less than in retail store.
Are they the same in quality of fabrics and construction?

Well for standard red tab, I buy them in the States, but I haven't bought any in years since the Vintage line came out.I have understood for vintage, I talk about red tab line.
Yes, in some Auchan or Carrefour at around 50 euros instead of 80 euros in departement stores.
But they looks less thick, less strong.
