501 Battle 1873 Vs Modern 501s

[@ChaseL501]

Dennis! So glad to see that you too could get your hands on a pair of the 1873 XX Waist Overalls! I felt so lucky getting to grab my pair (80/150) and have already done a tub soak. This jean may have the most beautiful blue color on any clothing I’ve ever owned. I’m so happy to have them and to get to wear them with love. Peace, Chase

[@JamesHerlihy]

❤❤❤ thanks for the love!

[@dbaoTV]

Great comparison here Den! I'm personally glad to see them evolving the Made & Crafted line to Made In Japan, it seems like that may be my primary line going forward with LVC setting off into the sunset.

[@denindenim]

It’s been around for a year now. I see them adding years, 1980s. I wonder if it’s sticking around.

[@Deezythy]

Sad to see Levi’s vintage end 😢 got to get them from Japan somehow. Awesome video 🎉

[@Qltydenim]

Great video as always. Have been watching several of your videos today

[@denindenim]

Thank you. I love what you do too.

[@Qltydenim]

@@denindenim Thanks man. I really appreciate that

[@russellpotts3069]

I’ve had a few pairs of the vintage 501 over the years the 55 the 47 and the 1967 505. Wish I had purchased the 501 1976.

[@pepsiboi3798]

Did they remove the leather patch with fake leather on the new repros?

[@yiohann]

so amazing details!

[@sf2explus184]

the regular 501 stf non selvedge is not even sold in the uk levis website. it would benice to have a few beater pairs of these stf.

[@Bones-w7i]

I’d like to see you do a video on the 511, (the best selling fit at Levi’s at one point, possibly to this day) Information on that pair is all over the place. It’s difficult to even find a the date they were introduced . Some second hand pairs marked 511 seem to be straight fit, while we all know the 511 to be slim fit. (Or “skinny” fit 10-15 years ago)

[@VIUDOJOVEN]

Hi dennis....nice to salute you.....i've got a question for u...when was it made the last jean made in usa ?? I still. Have one of them ..a 501 made in usa....excuse my english. Thanks

[@denindenim]

2016 the last US factory closed. but I’ve heard rumors they might have something made in USA next year.

[@VIUDOJOVEN]

@@denindenim many thanks...i'll wait those made in Usa jeans levis....

[@huaweiy7p992]

How much does it cost?

[@blueband8114]

Those vintage 1873's look great, I'd love a pair.

[@buddysmith407]

I should have found your videos before I bought my collectible 150th anniversary Levi's. They are new, but I am not sure what decade they represent. Leather patch, buckle back, rivet in the crouch, 34x34 501s! BTW, I have only been wearing 501s for about 40 years. 🤠

[@denindenim]

1890 and 1901 came out last year and match that description. Thanks for watching

[@hmartz]

Den : I truly admire your enthusiasm.

[@denindenim]

Thanks for being there from the beginning.

[@sf2explus184]

damn will miss the lvc 1947 and 1966. they both fit me perfect.

[@denindenim]

I hear ya.

[@brunonjezic6208]

My pair of Egypt made modern 501 feel thicker than Poland and China pairs i have something like 12 or 14 oz supposed to 10oz or 12oz feeling of others. Do you feel something like that as well?

[@denindenim]

It feels stable. A month in and it’s barely worn. Gonna get the plant based 501s made in Poland soon. I’ll definitely test it against that. I heard the banner jeans are super thin.

[@brunonjezic6208]

@@denindenim didnt saw those in person. But possible

[@gabrielangelo9937]

I love the fit of that regular STF Levi's 501👖. That's the one that I'm wearing and enjoying everyday (PC9-00501-0000). Soaked it once, no wash (maybe after 7 months). Though I don't cuff because its not selvedge, but I love to tuck in my tshirt or polo shirt to show that extended patch that has the lot number 501. 🎉

[@denindenim]

I’m a tucker too. It drove my high school friends crazy. 7 months. Wow. I’m a month in.

[@goldendawn69]

Wait till next year. There will be something Made In the USA... not specific for now!

[@cophater298]

?

[@onenineeightseven280]

Some of the new Made in Japan line is on the US website, it's not all selvedge and it's at high price points. What Levis did by killing off LVC was make me start buying japanese brands (i.e, Kapital, iron hart, momotaro etc.). Love the channel, still love LVC, but Levis is done for me.

[@pinikpikantv3555]

Can you please make video of 501xx and 501XX history. Your channel is like a discovery channel that Iove watching. Given the history of levis. There are a lot of confusions on the line ups. Just got my 2nd 501 selvedge lately and got 501xx and a stf red 501( cringe). The 501xx fits and feels very nice to the skin.

[@antoniobranco8005]

Hei buddy i have pairs from eities and nities and they were more stronger no less than 14 oz. remenber and i can toutch them all faded

[@Leemonaire]

such a shame. Levis could be with LVC what RRL is, but authentic.

[@ryanbenson1701]

Started working at Levi's and I agree with ur 10 year slump lol. Lvc needs to stay. They stupid

[@sf2explus184]

most levis shop i go to and ask for selvedge denim most don't even know what im talking about lol. good to know there are some who know about the lvc line.

[@ryanbenson1701]

@@sf2explus184 my store holds onto all of the LVC people return from online orders so you might get lucky and fine one your size!

[@johns.5062]

one does not simply wear his trousers lower. they need to be pulled up as far as they can. and sit way above the bellybutton, anything lower is really ungentlemanly

[@James-sn5mg]

I don't know about that. Above the belly look too neat and formal, not good for street fashion. Guys look sexier when jeans are slightly sagged, a few inches below the waist.

[@johns.5062]

@@James-sn5mg not my cup of tea guv. i wear suits 99% of the time and jeans once in a blue moon or when i go for a haircut or have handywork to do

[@huaweiy7p992]

I want pants from 1873.
