got it! that's very helpful, thanks. I'm starting to get the bug! I got excited when I found this pair in my garage. I'll keep them in the box next to those other 501s you helped me with.
cheers!

These are pre-Lvc. I would sell them boxed to a collector, although doubt if the value has increased since you bought them.

wow, thanks for the info! so impressive what you know. the receipt is dated 1996. I remember buying them at Macy's SF, but not much else. Like I said, not sure why I bought such a large size. Maybe I misread it. I can see buying a 36 to have it shrink to my size.
Is there any value to keeping them as is in the box, or is this a pair someone would wear since they're reproductions? Are these LVC then? Thanks again!

Hi Hecdog. These were the first attempt by Levis (USA) of a vintage repro, and came out around 1992-1994.
They were a generic 1966 model as far as l know. Not sure of accuracy but remember they were like 150 quid back then so quite expensive at the time. |

Here's what's inside. Has a small Levi's history booklet in the pocket and original receipt from 1996, San Francisco purchase.

Can someone help me identify this pair of 501s? It's in a box labeled capital E. |

Karrimor.
Late 1950's (so roughly 1956-1959) going by the details you've provided. |

DR Heech! Stumbled across this brilliant post whilst researching transitional 501 models. It's way harder to thrift any decent Americana here in the UK but I've been looking at a pair for sale in the US. Any info regarding date on this pair would be much appreciated! Tried to resize the images but not sure how
The seller told me the selvedge has been cut off when the jeans were altered, that the red tab has LEVIS printed on both sides and that the arcuate "appears to be single needle stitches". I can request more pics if necessary :)
