the levi's are 501xx from 1944, big e labels and redline sedvedge.these are the ones made during the war where the levi arch is printed on the back pocket in red as they had to ration thread.these are from 1998 and that the only year that levi's re made these model.NOS with alll the card tags etc.
i used to have a levi account for a shop i had and levi's used to sponser a club night that i used to run, so i was in tight levi's.
i have another pair of 501 xx from the 50's that have been washed once, mint but used.
both pairs are from the first batch of selvedge that they remade for the u.k market, they were still made in SF usa, the ones they make now and sell at cinch are farmed out and the quality is rubbish.
i think there both 34 waist.i'll dig them out for photos but i'm real busy this week.
