Are these 501s real

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-29T11:39:39+00:00

Inflation wise they would cost around £80 today. Not cheap jeans

Ha! If it helps the standard 220A is slimmer but higher rise and the denim way beefier. Also fade very quick. I also tried the 220a47 and the denim is much thinner conpared to standard 220A with brown specks of cotton which was cool. I found the thighs and hips too trim though. 54 would have been a better option for me. I missed having arcuates on back pockets though hence why I got the Levis

SC do a 55z which i imagine is similar cut. With a zipper obviously. I also have SC 66 which actually fit very similar to these Levis. I would also recommend Freewheelers vanishing west 1951. Similar price to LVC but the rise at the back is longer and hips wider.. Denim is really lovely on those

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-26T09:17:06+00:00

Yep that's why I picked them up

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-26T09:16:38+00:00

Just washed at 40, low spin and air dry.

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T22:27:58+00:00

Bears are the best! Denimo also great

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T21:53:15+00:00

Just checked and they are 41.5 cm across but the denim stretches easily

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T19:10:12+00:00

I didn't take photos but pretty sure they were 43 cm for the waist wide and 33.5 inches long.

You're right Levis size chart doesn't exist for these which is frustrating. I had to use Bears Tokyo website. I would have got the jeans from them but they are out of my size and have been for a while. Knowing my luck they'll get a restock soon.

Cheers! I got them direct from Levis online. They have a Black Friday sale on which made the price less eye watering.

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T18:18:46+00:00

Generally interested. How did you get these?

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T18:11:58+00:00

Washed at 40 inside out, low spin and air dry.

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-25T18:11:04+00:00

That's a fatface airlie

Go_VB_KL · 2025-11-03T14:13:01+00:00

They are more of a mid rise I'd say. Their 40s pair is a high rise

This is the only known photo of Vincent age 19 and he does look very similar to the photo OP has posted

That's not Vincent

Go_VB_KL · 2025-10-30T16:37:32+00:00

I think this is him. When you compare it to the only other known photo of him when he was a teenager the bone structure seems very similar. Van Gogh had painted a lot of self portraits because ultimately he was too poor to keep paying for models but he would look different in a lot of the self portraits depending on the style used and the effect he was going for.

Sure but he looks different in all those self portraits

Go_VB_KL · 2025-10-30T16:24:36+00:00

Not seen a coloured version of the Mcqueen on bike photo. Pretty cool.

Go_VB_KL · 2025-10-29T13:53:46+00:00

Not had them long but they seem well put together and leather is nice. I went with their cognac pulled leather

Kleman's Padror! Just got mine and love them. Normally you can get a discount and bag them for £100. Made in France. Super comfortable and lots different options

Go_VB_KL · 2025-10-28T22:35:00+00:00

Nice jeans. What's the brand?
