When they say deadstock does that mean that those jeans were actually made in 1873, have been sitting somewhere for 135 years, and were then sold by Levis for a $501 retail price?

Deadstock means stock that was unsold.

Ya, I figure that, but in the cotext of this auction are they saying that the jeans are unsold from 1873?

Somehow, I don't think the Levi's Vintage Clothing line was around in 1873.

I think they are a remake that was made to look exactly as the original as kind of a tribute.

if it was authentic 1873, then it would go for ALOT more than $500. doesnt levis immediately buy up their own vintage jeans and store it in their vault?

bit crap calling it deadstock then eh??

I didn't realize they had 800 numbers and websites in the 1800's

^Wow, go to the levis website...they make jeans currently 'in the olde style' as LVC. Most have distressing, those that don't are called 'deadstock.'

And the humor in the ebay listing is not that the jeans are blatantly fake/misrepresented (they are neither), it's the guy's wash/wear advice.
