Amazing! I gave up looking in thrift stores years ago. Maybe I shouldn't have quit.

My father-in-law and I did some long range errands today, we thrifted on the way back home. I scored this 70’s dragon
Bong for a $1, then hit 2 crappy thrift stores in a row…said F-it, let’s head for home, 5 miles down the road, nah- let’s hit one more- father-in-law brings me a pant, says you should look at this. I can tell denim looks old, as he’s holding it up- I see hidden rivets- shows me it’s a big E ( I know he doesn’t know what he has) I look at the back of the one sided Tab I couldn’t believe it. 34/35 waist 29/30 L I’ll post some pictures tomorrow |

Nice one Joe,
Judging from the paper patch fragment I will put it late 50s early 60s, what do you think?

Has anyone noticed the unusual amount of deadstock Levi’s surfacing from the 60’s and 70’s? I noticed it on Instagram months ago, then I was contacted to buy some- someone over in Europe had a large collection, I don’t know if the died or what happened, for a lucky few, dozens of pairs were picked up for next to nothing....I got ahold of 9 pairs ( I paid good money) I’ll post some of the pairs that I got- here.

Your question is complicated. The weight of denim in the old days was based on linear yards to the pound, and was normally about 28" in width, finished. This requires a conversion. Many companies, no name-dropping, have "reproduced" with historical accuracy, without the key piece of knowledge that conversion is required. Sadly, some of these brands have spent money on marketing just how accurate their reproduced cloth is, but if you directly compared it to an original, it wouldn't feel similar at all. The shade might be right, and the harness count matched, but this doesn't guarantee the knowledge related to loomstate and the method of weighing was taken into consideration. Thus, the only answer that is logical is: it depends on the cloth, the mill that produced it, and the brand that cut and sewed it.
I hope that answer helps satisfy your question. Greetings from Greensboro, NC.
