<p>Hello,</p> <p>So today I was browsing St Vincent De Pauls, when i came across two pair of what looked to be authentic Levi's, and they were both brand new. There was is no label indicating their size nor was there the infamous Levis patch on the back of them, but when I tried them on they fit, and they're definitely of better quality than what I purchased the other day, a brand I had never heard of, with much lesser quality and for more than double the price, so at $12 I purchased both pair.</p> <p>My question is before I wear these new jeans out, are these of any value? Also, could these possibly be fakes? These jeans seem to fit me well, but I've also always been against wearing fake merchandise. I usually don't spend over $40 on a pair of jeans either, and would hate to wear these out if they were of any truly high value. Real or fake these jeans seem of pretty high quality.<br /> <img src="http://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/attachments/008-jpg.1384/"> </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/progress-picks-ned#post-875 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:10:15 +0000 Throwback 875@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Hey folks!

After spending, like, hundreds of dollars ordering (and fortunately returning) numerous pairs of 501s and countless hours scouring the Internet looking for the 501s I used to know and love, this was really the only site where I got the straight dope on the alterations made to 501s and ideas about how to approach finding and caring for a pair. This led me to...</p> <p>purchase a pair of new with tags, deadstock, made in USA 501XX on ebay! Super cool, until I washed them. Now I have a problem I have never seen. The fabric is literally like a blanket. It is woolly and soft, not thin and firm (at least as much as denim usually is). There are even little hairs or threads that are coming out of the fabric and can be rolled with the palm. This is after three washes in hot water with 7th Generation detergent. The inside of the "denim" has the diagonal lines that it should, so I am not inclined to think these are real crude counterfeits. The seller was reputable.</p> <p>Anybody else have this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

I actually took these a week ago today, so they now have an additional week's wear on them from what's seen in these pics. I've worn them a TON already (I'm lucky enough to be able to wear jeans during work hours), and I've done some physical activity a couple times (hiking) that's helped wear them in. I'm planning on doing some car work soon, so that'll be good to wear them in as well. I'm sure the wear is pretty standard, but I'm happy with them so far! </p> <p>I'm planning a wash soon. I think they might be getting a touch smelly, and I want to give them a fairly natural wear pattern... in other words, I don't want to over-think it. To me, while some of the pairs that have been meticulously planned out do look cool, they don't have that classic look to them. I've tried looking at some "real" wear patterns (pics of vintage Levi's on eBay is an excellent place for this, btw), and on these pairs you don't see such exaggerated honeycombs and extreme contrasts, etc. I want mine to be more like the classic ones, so I think the best way of going about this is just not over-thinking it, washing when I feel it's time as opposed to a set # of months, etc.</p> <p>At any rate, I think the wear looks pretty cool thus far.

Sat in the bath to shrink these wonderful denim's sent all the way across the pond from the USA. I recently bought another pair of 501's STF, the address of the sender was somewhere in Tucson, Arizona. Went through the same procedure of nearly half a century back -although slower in jumping in and out of the bath - not the same though, the ticket inside the Levi's said <em>made in Egypt</em>! Can you imagine a world in which an American icon is no longer produced in the States, how iconic is that? It's like getting a bespoke suit from Savile Row, London that ain't from Savile Row.

I have washed my STF 501s together for a couple years now. I wash 3 to 4 pair at a time, by themselves, and inside out. After visiting different sites and reading many comments about how much guys like the deep, dark color of the denim, it makes sense to me to machine wash them without soap. They're just getting a really good rinse, and dry, each time. I feel it supports the macho ruggedness of the jean. When washing my other jeans I use a tablespoon, or 1/4 of the recommended dose, of environmentally friendly liquid laundry soap (Costco's for me). </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/levis-commercials#post-552 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:19:56 +0000 Klaus 552@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>When I became a huge Levi's fan in the early 90ies and a pair of 501s was the most sought-after garment for teenagers, there were some of the best commercials ever for these great jeans on air. I tracked down the ones I like most on youtube, most of the are for the 501, some for Levi's in general.</p> <p>I'm not too sure if this link will work, if not, I guess you would need my username, which is mufi3.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mufi3#p/c/E054A4AE816AC763" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/mufi3#p/c/E054A4AE816AC763</a> </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/introduction-hello-all#post-820 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:28:52 +0000 Throwback 820@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Hello! Just making my quick introduction. </p> <p>Currently working on my first pair of STF 501's! (I would say "501xx," but the label on mine only says "501." Is this common?). I just did the soak yesterday, and the perfect fit that everyone talks about is great! I'm planning on doing another shrink in a few more days after wearing them exclusively, short of sleeping. </p> <p>I recently became interested in Levi's again (wore them when I was a kid). I thought I'd try different fits, so I bought a pair of 505's, 527's, and this pair of STF 501's. I wanted to get the original jean, so I thought why not go with the <em>original</em> original and get the STFs! I wanted to get Levi's again because I wanted to get more of a traditional masculine jean. For several years I've been wearing a baggier sort of jean. It never really fit me, and it only struck me recently that I should go for more of a man's man jean.</p> <p>My fiance and I are both very "old souls" despite being still fairly young, so it makes sense that I've gravitated toward good ol' Levi's. As I've been scouring the web (including this wonderful site!) I've become obsessed with the whole aura of Levi's and particularly the advertising for 501's from the late 80's and early 90's. Fantastic stuff!</p> <p>I think this is a fantastic site with a lot of wonderful, helpful people! I'm so glad I found it; you folks are great! Right now I'm specifically trying to get a feel for how to lighten, soften these jeans without ruining them... I've been carefully reading the cautionary tales of overwashing. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks, guys and gals! This is a great community here! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/grey-501xx-jeans#post-86 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:43:38 +0000 Klaus 86@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>There seem to be grey STFs out there.

They are on the Levis website.</p> <p><a href="http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4213660&amp;cp=3146842.3146844.3146854.3194290.3692024" rel="nofollow">http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4213660&amp;cp=3146842.3146844.3146854.3194290.3692024</a></p> <p>A couple things seem different about these than the regular STFs.</p> <p>1. The fit description says "sits below waist" as opposed to all the other 501s which say they "sit at waist"<br /> 2. The photo portrays the jeans as a little slimmer and lower rise than the other STF photos<br /> 3. The patch on the back says 501XX instead of just 501.<br /> 4. Ive never owned a pair of selvedge denim, but i assume the denim is a bit higher quality<br /> 5. the full price is $98 on the levis website as opposed to $40 for the regular STFs<br /> 6. The selvedge STFs only seem to come in length 34 or less. I called a couple Levis retail stores. Not many of them carry the selvedge STFs, but some more major stores do. I called the Georgetown, DC store. I asked about the 34 length and she said that is the longest that they come in. She said that it is truly a 35 though, even though it says 34. So I guess they incorporated the shrinking into the size.</p> <p>Having had 2 pairs of the regular STFs and loving them, I compulsively ordered a pair of these new Selvedge STFs. I normally get a 31x36 in the regulars. This time I got the 31x34 since that is the longest i could get. If it truly is a 31x35, this should be ok. I'm also thinking since they are a little more low rise, that they will sit a little lower and this will add some length for cuffing, etc.</p> <p>Anyone had any experience with these? Do they wear, fade, contrast better? I also plan on doing these really well. No washing for AT LEAST a year. </p> <p>On another note, i was recently in a levis store and noticed some new signage next to the STFs. They no longer are recommending that you size up in the waist. Levis, themselves, is advertising a shrinking process very similar to what everyone on this forum does. True waist size...true fit...get them long and cuff. Wear them for a year and then soak, etc. Very interesting - i think it is catching on. </p>
