There's a lot of these floating in the vintage scene here in Manila but I've had my trepidations copping a pair.


The wash tag doesn’t look like this in this time period- made in USA and made in California- seems they should
Have added made in the lower 48…Just ( made in USA) is the usual.

I found a worn pair of 32s that measures wearable for me, what amount of stretch and shrink are people experiencing with the Japanese made versions? I see some 32s listed measuring under 30” and this particular pair around 31”.
 
My w34 is a real W32

Robroy- thanks! That is a gem.

If all those are Japanese production I’ve missed a few things- let’s keep an eye out on yahoo.jp for Japanese made 201s and 1983s...

These are my 1937 Japanese Levi's 501. From the inside label I think they were made in September 2003. It's a shame the leather tag is gone. I have preferred to sew a piece of leather to them that to leave it with nothing.
Having seen original Levi's from that era, the rear pocket bows on this replica are just too perfect.
I have also put some cat's eye buttons on them because they are a bit too big for me.
 
 
Regards.

More S702XX action. Leather tag has no XX, but wash tag does state S702XX. J22 buttons








Made in Bulgaria 44s on top, Made in Japan in the middle, and Made in the USA 47s on the bottom
