Nice score crispy, I forgot to brag on this thread- when I thrifted a late 1940’s 501 in my size…3 weeks back
Enough about me, nice pick up. |

Picked this up the other day. Apparently, they are under the name of Sailfish SeaVees by PF Flyers. Not very familiar with this, other than the namesake of the manufacturer. In terms of its all around conditions, it’s in pretty good shape. No sign of any usage. Though I can’t tell about the date of its production. All I know, thanks to Google, is that Sailfish dates back from the early 60s ? |

I’m guessing 29 is the shortest length before you go down to kids sizes? |

I had some 29" leg 1970s deadstock 505s - they were a bit too short for me, but have now been worn in very nicely by Mrs B

I’ve seen 29L a bunch of times, not super common...my true length BTW I would be a tall human if I didn’t inherit some short wheels from my parents. |

I did not realize Levis made short lengths such as this L29
