Great stuff sympathy.
It's interesting that your 50s have shallow arcs and the late 60s have deeper ones, whilst LVC 55 and 66 models have it the opposite way round. Happy Easter to all too! |

Many thanks Maynard, since I won´t ever wear the 50s for the leather like patch would fall into pieces
I am lucky to find the 60s patch super soft. Did you also recognise the two tone stitches of the arcs and yoke? I never have seen it before. Currently the only LVCs that shows the two tone yoke are the 44s... |

Great line-ups, thanks for sharing Sympathy!
Seen plenty of original two-tone arc models, but never seen that two tone yoke before. Beautiful stuff. Funny how Lvc always cuts its belt loops too long. A feature since 2005, and not something found on originals. |

Hello! I am brand new here and found this forum while researching on a pair of Big E jeans i found yesterday while thrifting. They have no patch which is making it quite difficult to date them (having very little knowledge in this subject) so I was hoping you could help me out!
I know that they are before '65-'66 because they have the offset belt loop. They have a zipper fly, and on the fly button there is a letter "K". They have hidden Rivets. They are not selvedge. I will post photos if you are interested in helping me date these! Thanks so much! Angela

Hi Angela, and welcome to Denimbro.
Your jeans sound as though they are 501Zxx or 551Zxx. Can you tell me if the top button is silver or dark bronze in colour? Doc. |

  It's hard to tell as the button is in bad shape, but I would guess silver. |
