LVC 1933 501XX

I bought this pair of Levi's 1933 501 in Berlin while I was backpacking in Europe with my lovely wife back in 2006. I pretty much wore it everyday while we were travelling. I swapped it time to time with my other pair of Levi's 501 STF. I retired this pair of jeans last year and got Edwin Nashville instead.

Some of the pictures with this jeans when I was travelling.

With my friend 'Kate' in Amsterdam.

Information on the Levi's 1933 501XX (Thanks to Paul T from Superfuture.com)

1933 501Like its close cousin, the 20s 201, the 1933 501 has belt loops AND a cinch, plus the suspender buttons. Again, these have the widest leg of any 501 jean, reflecting fashions in the 30s. Note also that these have a more lemon-coloured stitching. The denim now carries a red selvage line, which denotes that it is made by Cone, for Levi's (Cone still makes all the reline selvage for LVC to date).

Pockets: 5 (two back pockets), rear pockets are the last to feature visible rivets.

Rivets: read "LS&Co SF"

Belt Patch; Two horse design, which now has the size printed on.

Arcuates; vary widely on originals, single needle, hand done.

Cut of LVC version: a more shape backside, with wide legs. Like all the earlier jeans, the 1933 are made slightly oversize. I would buy actual size in these; they will be one inch larger than the tag (2009 sizing) and will still be fairly generously sized aorund the thighs etc.
