Vintage Levi’s
Vintage Levi 501 for the win!
I’ve professed my love for the classic 501’s many times and finally I own a vintage pair too!
These were made in the USA so these are at least made before 2003, which doesn’t even seem that long ago. I’ll try to narrow down the age of these more at some point.
The sizing is completely different in vintage clothes because companies now do stupid vanity sizing and the number on the label doesn’t actually mean shit. On the modern 501’s I have both 24 and 25 waist, the latter are my ”winter jeans” aka I can fit a pair of merino wool long johns underneath, sexy I know.
Luckily I knew that vintage sizing is different so I knew to look for a bigger pair than what I wear now. I have also tried on a vintage pair couple years back that my sister had found and sadly that 26 waist only made my ass look better than ever but I could not button the jeans at all.
I’ve been wanting to add a vintage pair to my collection for ages and finally took a gamble on w28 l34 pair from a French lady via Vestiaire. The lenght is fantastic and much needed since most pairs in the store now are a 30 leg and that is some midget shit (though they do look good in the summer with sneakers so I have those also).
The 28 waist seems to be very simimar to my winter jeans so my perfect pair would be size 27 I think. I already know I’ll buy more forever. These ones are clearly used a lot because they are so soft, so it’s for a very relaxed look. I do usually prefer the very ridig and thick jean that I can slowly break in myself but I do love variety.

Hey hey hey who are you calling a midget lol (29 length here lol)
Eve mentioned midgets, not me, but I thought it was funny.
You are tinyyy 😝
It’s a struggle to be this average height and want to find jeans that are long enough 😅
I blame you for eating all your broccoli as a kid...made you grow too much.
27 waist! Wow, that’s pretty slim! It doesn’t need need to get slimmer than that!

You make those Levis look pretty good...
Thanks! Took me until my mid 20s to find the style that fits me and I’m never looking elsewhere!
Vintage? Oh my gosh I feel old! I should have saved my old pairs and not give them away 13 years ago 😂
Well me too when I think of year 2003, that was like a few years ago 😂
I think I don't feel well, too beautiful 😍
Oh what’s wrong, got a fever? 😝
ahahaha😶
If you come to our side of the ocean I’ll give you all my vintage 501’s!!! They don’t fit me and my daughter won’t wear them lol
They look awesome on you!
Haha is she too goth to wear blue jeans? 😅 Did you have those super tight jeans where you have to lay down on the floor to get them on? Go check if you have any where the E in LEVI’s on the red tab on the back pocked it in capital letters, you can sell those for a pretty penny!
How dare you say 2003 is "vintage"?
GIT OFF MAH LAWN, WHIPPERSNAPPER!
Shakes cane at impudent youth
Vintage is more a consept than an actual year so don’t get your panties in a bunch! And all I said it’s ”before 2003” and that’s because Levi’s stopped US profuction then and according to the label these were still made in the US.
501's are all I wear.., sadly it's been some time since I was 28 waist.
Lol, I was seven the last time.
That just means that you can’t fit throug those tiny windows on an abandoned house like I can, but otherwise I think you’ll be fine with a bigger waist 😁
The Levi’s 501 is timeless. We’ve never done better. The cut is just perfect.
100% agree! Though they keep making different variations (at least for women) and I just tried on a new ”90’s 501” at the store and it was very ill fitting.
those jeans work
