Happy Holidays TRFers!

So I was at work on Friday evening (Thrift Store) and I was doing a little bit of cleaning up the Men's long sleeve shirts aisle; which means picking up and hanging stuff that people are too lazy to pickup, after they dropped it!

I stumbled across this Levi Strauss & Co Western Denim Shirt. I've always liked Levi, even though I haven't had a pair of their jeans for a few years! I knew it was vintage, well because of the pearl buttons and the Levi logos. I'm going to say it's from the late 80's. I got this shirt for $5.79!!!

Took a few pics of it! I think it's a pretty neat find!

Now it's time to buy some Levi jeans again, I had the 514's in Grade 8. I'm still thin as I was then, so I think some 514's would be nice!

Post your Levi jean pics and even vintage Levi stuff!

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Looks like a lovely shirt Adam, take pictures of it on you!

Lisa · 25 December 2012, 03:25 AM

Good score. I always keep an eye out for vintage Levi's stuff.

Adam,

Just wore the Eddie Bauer version [need the longer arms] last night. A great American classic that is the perfect compliment to a comfortable evening.

Thanks everyone!

Dan that's a nice shirt!

Anyone recommend a specific model of Levi's for me?

financeman · 25 December 2012, 03:48 AM

Cool score. I find myself doing the same thing. I am not to good to go to goodwill or a thrift store and scout for vintage clothes. You would be surprised the stuff you can get there.

Absolutely, that would be a very pompous if someone cannot go into a thrift store! Thrift stores are super neat!

I've been wearing my Invicta on the NATO with the shirt all day, a perfect match!

Lisa · 25 December 2012, 09:04 AM

I looove shopping in thrift stores. Have found some very cool stuff there.

drockadam · 29 December 2012, 12:51 AM

So my local Levi store is having their Boxing week sale!

So I went in and picked up a pair of 514's for $32!

Let's see your Levi jeans people!

drockadam · 29 December 2012, 12:54 AM

Backside.

Now when I am at work I will be looking vigorously for vintage Levi stuff!

Rodentman · 29 December 2012, 01:23 AM

Wasn't Levi Strauss one of the "waltz kings," along with his relatives Johann and Richard?

What the difference between a 514 and a 501 ?

Thanks

When I was in high school the shrink-to-fit 501s were the rage. I still have two pairs from 1978 - good old made in USA Levis. Also have their classic trucker jacket from a few years later. Now my daughter wears it.

The 514's are a Slim Straight jean. Straight leg, slim thigh and seat. The 501's are straight leg, classic more wide thigh and seat. I was going to get the 501's with the button fly, but I found the 514's fit me better.

Wow! That's a nice pair of vintage Levi jeans!

rolio · 29 December 2012, 03:35 AM

Vintage is best

bayerische · 29 December 2012, 03:47 AM

Nothing wrong with Levi's! Used to be THE pair of jeans to wear when I went to school!

mannyv11 · 29 December 2012, 04:09 AM

some of that Levi stuff is awesome. Also worth a pretty penny for some of the vintage stuff

watch watcher · 29 December 2012, 06:53 AM

It used to be that it was uncool for the young to wear Levis because it was considered for the old (baby boomers). But, I've noticed a resurgence and now it's OK (or cool?) for them to wear Levis.

Oh absolutely! I love Levi's, they're great quality jeans. A lot of my teenager friends like American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hollister jeans; I quite like Levi's and GAP Jeans! I've had a pair of GAP jeans since early 2011, they're great!

Awesome! Let me know how they fit! They are tighter around your hips/buttox.

vintagewaferthin · 31 December 2012, 12:32 AM

I love Levi jeans! It's all I wear when it comes to jeans. I find them very comfortable.

b06tmm · 31 December 2012, 08:59 AM

Here's my vintage jean jacket. I received it as a Christmas present in the early 80's and I remember sleeping in it the first night I got it. It's too small for me now and the collar is almost gone but I can't bear to part with it.

Yes for sure! I don't think I will buy another brand's pair of jeans, I'm a Levi guy now!! I love my 514's.
