Levi jeans

[ColinJ]

Used 'classic' clothing can definitely go for silly money on ebay... A friend of mine bought a leather motorcycling bomber jacket in the 1970s and used it for decades. He eventually sold the 'well-worn' item to an enthusiast in Japan who paid him at least the original price. (It may even have been more, I can't remember.)

Luckily still the same size but just accumulated so much stuff over time. Huge downsizing in progress.

Yes, I tell myself that.... it is just that I cannot breathe in, and hold my breath for more than a couple of minutes

I had 2 pairs of Wranglers in 1977...

I had a pair of bright orange flared Wranglers in 1977.

I had a pair of enormously-flared pink satin 'loons'!!!

I am 6' 1" tall and wore platform boots with 4" heels at the time. Even stooping, I used to bang the back of my head on the roof of the bus on the way back from the pub..

This is a bit random but I don't do FB or anything so thought someone here might have an idea. I am streamlining stuff and have found (so far) 10 pairs of Levis some new some worn in. Is there a market for these does anyone know? Mostly bought in Japan or US in the 80's and 90's.

Even worn ones sell for a tenner. You've probably got at least a hundred pound's worth there.

When I lived in Newcastle I had a pair of Geordie jeans. They were nice and tight, especially round the arse.

Cool, thanks all. I will look at putting them on sale methinks.

Ahh yes... they are (or were) legendary

I once left my reading glasses at home and bought some S01's complete with red S01 tag and lookalike-Levi brown leather name patch.

Make sure you put 'Vintage' in the description, it works similar to 'Eroica' does for bikes.

I've been wearing Levi 501 Red Tabs for as long as I can remember. They get worn until there are holes in each knee and patches of glue or grease over the rest of them. Even a dedicated style victim is unlikely to offer me good money for my cast-offs.

I have one pair that I still wear occasionally that I wore at school. I left school in 79! Granted they are mainly patches on patches for the most though. Waistband, fly and the back of the legs good. Not very blue anymore and a bit fragile in places. Approaching Trigger's broom territory.

You could also try " allegedly worn by Marriane Faithful"

The retro clothing shop i work in sells old Levi's,Wrangles,Lee jeans etc. They sell for around 20-30 pounds. They're ok,but i'm a bit fussy about wearing someone's else's clothes,unless i know them and even them i'm still a bit unsure.

Edit....I'll wear jackets from the shop,but pants and shoes.......🤔
