The last pair of Levis I bought lasted 18 months with light use before they disintegrated. I bought them in a Levis store, and they appear to be authentic. I had Levis when I was a kid, and they could easily stand up to skateboarding, climbing trees, and football. The quality of the fakes might be better than the authentic ones these days.
Do you remember the days when you lit bonfires and the guys expected you to stomp them out when you were wearing Levi's. The frays would get singed, but even knee high flames never set the denim alight. Guys were were smoking after school, also used their Levi's to stub cigarettes out when they heard someone coming
@@planetmikusha5898 Do you remember holding your joints over your jeans to prevent the hot rocks and embers that fell off all the time from burning the settee and carpet. Also pressing them out inside that small front pocket when you needed to get rid of them in a hurry. 😊
@@wilsjane Didn't have that problem as we used bongs most of the time. Memories of piling into a van in the school parking lost and firing up. There was a cloud of smoke when we opened the door and headed towards 1st period class.
@@planetmikusha5898 I think that it is because Levi's are so hard to burn that people just take it for granted. Do you worry when sparks and embers drop onto your jeans, or do you just let them burn out without even thinking about it.?
In the early days ALL 501s in the UK had zippers, but they were called 502. It was only after flares went out of fashion in the 80s that we first saw button flies and 501s. In the past, every letter and number meant something, for example 5=male fit, 6=unisex and 9=female. Today it is purely fashion.
When I was younger like back in the 70s and 80s the jeans came with a little orange tag instead of a red tag . I still have those jeans can't fit into him but I still have, they're probably older than the person who made this video. 👍🇺🇸☮️
Jim Knight Levi’s introduced the orange tab style in the 60s to represent all the new styles coming out other than the straight leg like the flares and cord models.
Hahaha you may wanna hold onto those if they're sentimental or whatever. I came across this trucker coat in my grandparents attic that has an orange tab on it. To start the denim is raw denim. Plus the fur lining in it seems way more abundant and thicker than the ones these days and even crushes the so called premium ones and make them look like a joke. It's just a sturdier, chunkier, made product. Built in the USA. Asked grandpa about it, and he had no idea where it came from lol. But he thinks that one of my parents' friends left it and never came back for it, so it just sat and sat.
Tags recently are designed not to cause you itchiness or discomfort. But at the end of the day, it's the owner's choice. If you want to resell jeans, I suggest to not cut them
Cheers guys, thanks for popping up on my feed and going through this. Only thing as said below was the matching of the number on the back of the top botton and on the last label.
So i was buying levis all my live, and mostly from local levis store, but recently bought a pair of fake levis 511 not realizing they were fake, bought it off ebay from a seller , after watching your video realized they were fake, others a genuine got like 12 pairs of levis 501/505/514 jeans with more than half being 501s. btw the older pairs from early 2000s had no such labels current ones got. But rivets and buttons are all stamped at the back with print saying levis.... I have pair from when I was a kid in 90s and they have no labels of any sorts, other than one giving you size and washing instructions, but they're genuine Levis.
A brand new pair of jeans cost 50 bucks here i was able to buy for 9 bucks in a thrift store, i was sure that it is legit and this video solidified my claims. Thanks!
I saw a bunch of new-with-tags Levi’s at the thrift store today. Quality seems authentic overall except for the lack of button numerals. They all have “irregular” stamped on the pockets. Are these factory rejects?
The ones that I have seen have it. But I haven't seem the all the models all the years. If you have any suspicion let me know via an email. (voptreal@gmail.com)
Voice of People... it would be nice to hear a voice instead of reading your messages and at the same time look for the differences your trying to point out.
I take it the zipper thing had more to do with the Levi brand not the 501 style of pants for obvious reasons. I used to buy nothing but 501s they used to be a little more expensive than other jeans but still reasonable priced around $20 dollars on sale at the time, but then they somehow became trendy with the yuppies and the prices skyrocketing $ 70 or more now ridiculous.
In England they cost about £95 ($130) if you pay full price. Recently I bought a pair of "rigid" shrink-to-fit 501s by mail order from a US retailer and even after adding shipping and import duty they were still cheaper than buying them here!
Yea I paid €115 for a pair of 511 last year but there still my favourites . I got a Levis belt years ago it was rock star level 😎 it got stolen from a locker at a swimming pool any contacted levis head office to see if I could replace it turned out there were only 200 made in the whole world I had a genuine collectors item and didn't even know
They are not made in America anymore and the denim is thinner. There are several Jean makers In the United States that use cotton grown and denim made here also. Levi's suck nowadays they wear out to quickly and are overpriced.
Is Levi producing nowadays jeans again with capital letters?? Because I went to the Levi website and saw multiple models wearing 511 jeans that have the big E on the red label.
@@SufiRepublic I only find articles that say that the production with the big E stopped in 1971, which makes them basically vintage jeans and that they go for a high price. What I'm getting at is, that I see brand new jeans which go for $99 on the original Levi website and they have a big E. I highly doubt that they wear vintage jeans just for the shooting.
There are black market Levi's (and other designer jeans) that are 100% identical to the real thing because they're not copies. The factories just produce more than ordered and sell them through unauthorized channels.
Los Levis 501, son sin cierre, son abotonados, su tela es más gruesa, algodón, lo más importante es el corte del pantalón, el calse, jamás igualado en otras marcas, yo los uso desde 1983.
What happened to YKK zippers on Levis jeans? It seems for a few years now they haven't been using them. Is Levis cheating us? There jeans are way over priced they should be using YKK!
Interesting. Some recent models I've seen had YKK zippers. If you have witnessed them in Levi's official stores, it might be the case that the brand has ditched YKK zippers
@@VoiceOfPeopleToday I have bought about 15 pairs from there site in the last 3 years and only 2 pairs has YKK. They increased prices and quality went down.
Hi, the only thing I can spot is the label about the washing, country, etc doesn't have Levi's logo on it. Does this mean it's fake? Or maybe they don't always print the logo on this label?
If you want us to inspect your Levi's jeans, COMMENT on the video. We will send the address to email us the photos and we'll inspect them. Only emails preceded by a comment will be answered.
@@pistolero114gunner there are both zipper and button fly genuine versions available. The genuine was a zipper fly model and the fake a button fly one (unfortunately I couldn't manage to have both zipper fly or both button fly in the video)
@@VoiceOfPeopleToday 501's made for the UK market had a zip until the 1970's. The style number was 502. To us, they were the standard Levi's jeans. It was only when they came back into fashion after the flares that we first saw the button fly.
"the two horse pull" in the late 1800's Levis jeans were all "shrink to fit" material (raw denim). They were about 14 oz per square yard. The rivets made the jeans so strong because they were placed at high points of strain on the jeans. So two horses could not pull the jeans apart. I believe there is a video on here somewhere of someone testing it.
I bought a fake Levi`s sherpa trucker jacket off of eBay. I was able to get my money back. The buttons were flat and no engravings on the back of the snap.
Top video - thank you. I have a lot of Levi’s ... going by your checklist - only 3 are genuine. The rest are fakes ... and the genuine ones have lasted longer and are in better shape!!
It's a very confusing video I think. I have 14 501 jeans all bought from high street Levis stores in London and New York,made in Mexico, Colombia, Pakistan, etc. Some of these jeans might appear fake but the quality tells me they are real. The eldest jean that I still wear some times, dates back to 1982, what's that? 41 years old... I saw another video, short and simple to spot fake 501 jeans.
The funny thing is, the modern "real one" is practically a knockoff compared to the 50s Levi's made from a solid selvedge denim, with a leather back patch.
Used to buy Levis in the sixties when they were different from the rest, being three ply material (that was their boast on the labels). In those days they came littered with labels when new and took ages to get them off; they were stapled. They cant have cost much then because I could afford them with paper round money and they lasted forever. Bit different to now with UK price of £70 plus at Levi store and not even US made anymore.
I wonder if you might do a video someday about non-denim Levi's products? It's difficult to find out anything that isn't denim. I bought a Levi's branded nylon jacket that may or may be authentic, but having no luck finding any comps or information as to how to tell. Anyway, thanks for an informative video about the jeans. : )
@@VoiceOfPeopleToday Thanks so much, I watched the video and it was helpful for newer items. I think mine is vintage (maybe around 1980?) so the tags and details might not look like the newer ones? Appreciate your help though!
Wait im lost lol my don't have zipper at all they have buttons 😅 and bought one pair at JPC online and another one at a store forgot the name lol they look similar but on the back small red tag one says levis front & back the other one show a R with a circle how can I tell they fake lol can't remember they where 60 or 70 each haha help 😂
At the back of 501 jeans original was 2 x near in horse foot was small letter 👍👍👍!!! but if 2 x is in above the horse and if big letter x it was a fake...!!!
Ridiculous! “Originals” are absolutely affordable, especially on sales, at their sites, Amazon, Levi stores worldwide, etc. Who wants to fake $15 - $65 jeans??? For some Asian markets maybe, to sell for some even better prices? Well, can you go and pick up one? What for??? The company has some very different and real problems, though. They discontinued their really good products, such as made in the USA, 505 rigid, extra strong Dyneema, etc. WHAT INSTEAD??? For the last two years, the new models are now more hipster-like. I’ll get some Wranglers, instead. They remain real jeans...
Fabrizio Gibin same here in Eastern Europe. But, there are businesses, that help to bring your orders from USA sites, such as Levi’s, wrangler, lee, or amazon, to your door. I used to buy clothes and shoes 2-5 times cheaper, and pay from 5 to 20 bucks delivery. Non- USA 501 cost $30-35 in that case. Just try them at your local store, and order 3 pair for the same $100. If you want to. As far as I know, there used to be domestic production in Brazil. In 1983, I wore us top brand jeans, made in Brazil. Pretty heavy denim. And it was cheap. 3500 cruzeiro, or smth alike))).
If u have an eye for quality it is not hard to figure if u are dealing with real or fake jeans.Especially if u are buying levi's jeans.There are dozens of details u can look at. Overall quality of product is easy to see if u have trained eye.
the original one at your video made in Egypt , and iam from Egypt i never saw a levi made in Egypt even at Levis official store here at Egypt they are made in pakistan or turkey .... etc
Zipper is from 505 and it has been included as and additional elements for all levi's jeans authentication. It has been explained in the pinned comment
The 501 is all button not zipper...correct the top button in engrave with mark...And the patch is correct in the video because i have 2 levi's 501 i bought 2 yrs ago in the USA.love from the philippines...🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I’m laughing due to picket stitching flaws on the inside of mine supposedly as far as I seen wrong with them. I then seen the score. Levi’s for $22. Shit they clean AS HELL
You don't identify the difference between real and fake by pointing out the things that can't be used for differentiation. Also, you need definitive differences, not subjective "qualitative" differences. The easiest way to tell real from fakes is the waist tag. I classify Levi's made after 2000 as closer to fakes than real.
I think your reviews is not perfect..the main back level for the original should from leather not from thick paper and the drawing man and he's horse painted well.. And u must know the original levis have first gred and second gred and so on..but for the fake levis is not from levis company at all..gain ur knowledge first before start to review something,the main back level for second or third gred for levis(from levis company)usually made from thick paper same as for the fake levis..i think u doesnt know how to compare.
The real leather patch was replaced with a high grade bonded fiber around 1950. This was because real leather shrunk and then cracked when the jeans were hot washed or boiled. You occasionally see how the patch shrunk on the back pocket of vintage Wranglers.
@@wilsjane nooo.. levis have 3 grade, grade one with black patch, grade 2 with leather patch and embossed logo, grade 3 with sinthetic leather/thin paper with printed logo
Amiguito 1 los Levi's originales 501 tienen solo botones y grabados también en su interior cada botón y cada broche. 2 los bolsillos traseros son grandes en su parte superior y van achicando se para abajo.misma situación con las costuras con hilo anaranjado o amarillo intenso 3 en la parte superior de la costura de bolsillos traseros , lleva un refuerzo de costura de hilo azul 4 llevan todos los sellos en su parte interior ,llámese bolsillos.etiquetas etc 5 no traen basta .solo son de fabrica y así se quedan,con la costura semi comprimida. 6 son anatómicos .no necesitan de ajustes. Solo comprar la talla que necesitas y listo. 7 para poder hablar de un 501 debes saber también que en el interior del botón principal deve de decir 0217. Si lo tienes,cuídalo,es realmente original Saludos
The zipper is from Levi's 505 (not from 501) and is included in the video to compare the zipper component of Levi's jeans as well. Peace :)

Levi's has produced blank red tabs in jeans and t shirts. If all other elements comply, then most probably it's original

Need to inspect my jeans
me too!
Such an interesting & informative video..👌 Keep uploading this type of video again..🙂
At the back of 501 jeans original was 2 x near in horse foot was small letter 👍👍👍!!! but if 2 x is in above the horse and if big letter x it was a fake...!!!
All Levi Straus at present are brand names unlike the original 1800's Levi Strauss jeans...
Ridiculous! “Originals” are absolutely affordable, especially on sales, at their sites, Amazon, Levi stores worldwide, etc. Who wants to fake $15 - $65 jeans??? For some Asian markets maybe, to sell for some even better prices? Well, can you go and pick up one? What for??? The company has some very different and real problems, though. They discontinued their really good products, such as made in the USA, 505 rigid, extra strong Dyneema, etc. WHAT INSTEAD??? For the last two years, the new models are now more hipster-like. I’ll get some Wranglers, instead. They remain real jeans...
Mustafa Saib try wrangler 0047MWZ Rigid. Old school, similar to 505, but different. 14,75 oz.
This is valid in the USA but not everywhere abroad. Here in Brazil a Levis 501 normally costs more than 100USD.
Fabrizio Gibin same here in Eastern Europe. But, there are businesses, that help to bring your orders from USA sites, such as Levi’s, wrangler, lee, or amazon, to your door. I used to buy clothes and shoes 2-5 times cheaper, and pay from 5 to 20 bucks delivery. Non- USA 501 cost $30-35 in that case. Just try them at your local store, and order 3 pair for the same $100. If you want to. As far as I know, there used to be domestic production in Brazil. In 1983, I wore us top brand jeans, made in Brazil. Pretty heavy denim. And it was cheap. 3500 cruzeiro, or smth alike))).
Engraving of back botton is no. 359
If there is an engraving. And If the other numbered elements in the video comply, then most likely it's genuine
Great info!
If u have an eye for quality it is not hard to figure if u are dealing with real or fake jeans.Especially if u are buying levi's jeans.There are dozens of details u can look at. Overall quality of product is easy to see if u have trained eye.
All 501 jeans were button fly.. the one you been representing is 505 variant
Indeed. We have pinned the comment with this info. Here you have another video th-cam.com/video/skvv6GIzWyE/w-d-xo.html
the original one at your video made in Egypt , and iam from Egypt i never saw a levi made in Egypt even at Levis official store here at Egypt they are made in pakistan or turkey .... etc
Levi's has more than one factory in Egypt. A simple search will reveal even the location of the factories.
Yes, and they costed me $15 here in Pakistan, exceptional quality though.
Pero la cremallera no es de 501.Original!!!Gracias..
Zipper is from 505 and it has been included as and additional elements for all levi's jeans authentication. It has been explained in the pinned comment
@@VoiceOfPeopleToday OK men👌
501's Button Fly Only!
Lvc 1954 have a talon zip, its said 501z, no ykk zip
@@vincentlerone5600 The zip fly jeans with the talon zip were made for the UK market, where no one wanted buttons. The style number was 502.
The patch on the back of Levi jeans are two horses ripping a slave apart. Levi stands for evil.
The 501 is all button not zipper...correct the top button in engrave with mark...And the patch is correct in the video because i have 2 levi's 501 i bought 2 yrs ago in the USA.love from the philippines...🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I seen levis at sams club, could they be real?
If the elements comply with what's explained in the video, yes.
Valuable information..Thank you
I’m laughing due to picket stitching flaws on the inside of mine supposedly as far as I seen wrong with them. I then seen the score. Levi’s for $22. Shit they clean AS HELL
My only advice go to authorize retailers or Levi's store. Is they're selling to cheap is a red flag. Cheap=expensive
LEVI S 501 IS BY FAR THE BEST BRAND IN THE WORLD, REGARDING CLOTHING !!! - GOLD NEVER RUSTS !!!
I’ve never seen a Levi’s 501 with a zipper. Just here in the video .
The zipper part is taken from a Levi's 505 jean to include the zipper component in the video as well. It's identical to 501 just with zippers.
@Voice of People Today ,
Thanks for your explanation. Now I know.👍
then u might never have bought it
@Adi KHatri ,
I have 8 pairs of Levi’s 501 jeans different colors.
@@budweiser6353 IT MEAN U HAVE ALL FAKE ....
Got 15 plus Levi’s pants. All types of numbers
4am Sunday morning...
No more made in USA ALL ARE LOCAL MADE IN ASIAN COUNTRIES
I remember in the early 80’s, Levi's twisted bell bottom... I thought there was something wrong with the sewing machine.
You don't identify the difference between real and fake by pointing out the things that can't be used for differentiation. Also, you need definitive differences, not subjective "qualitative" differences. The easiest way to tell real from fakes is the waist tag. I classify Levi's made after 2000 as closer to fakes than real.
the original Levi's 501 is always button fly not zip fly.
You are right. That is explained in the pinned comment and the zipper component is included to try and generalize it for all Lev's jeans.
На Lewi’s 501 не может быть молнии , должны быть пуговицы!
I think your reviews is not perfect..the main back level for the original should from leather not from thick paper and the drawing man and he's horse painted well.. And u must know the original levis have first gred and second gred and so on..but for the fake levis is not from levis company at all..gain ur knowledge first before start to review something,the main back level for second or third gred for levis(from levis company)usually made from thick paper same as for the fake levis..i think u doesnt know how to compare.
The real leather patch was replaced with a high grade bonded fiber around 1950.
This was because real leather shrunk and then cracked when the jeans were hot washed or boiled.
You occasionally see how the patch shrunk on the back pocket of vintage Wranglers.
@@wilsjane nooo.. levis have 3 grade, grade one with black patch, grade 2 with leather patch and embossed logo, grade 3 with sinthetic leather/thin paper with printed logo
501 is buttonfly not zip.
Check our pinned comment for the button/zip answer
ano ang mas mahal sa dalawa.501 o EJ
If you stand behind your video, then I presume you will join me in court against Ross Dress For Less, for selling me fake Levi's right?
Quick question does Ross sell fake Levi’s ?
TBH I don't have that info
Voice of People Today Oh well thanks for taking your time to answer my question. I just subscribed as well👍🏻
They don't, out of 30pairs 2 were fake tho.
Who much Was the fake? In germany u get a genuine levis Jeans für 30€.
sarah x 15
May be in every company, they manufacture best quality to sell to elite and poor quality (fake) to sell to middle class.
Amiguito
1 los Levi's originales 501 tienen solo botones y grabados también en su interior cada botón y cada broche.
2 los bolsillos traseros son grandes en su parte superior y van achicando se para abajo.misma situación con las costuras con hilo anaranjado o amarillo intenso
3 en la parte superior de la costura de bolsillos traseros , lleva un refuerzo de costura de hilo azul
4 llevan todos los sellos en su parte interior ,llámese bolsillos.etiquetas etc
5 no traen basta .solo son de fabrica y así se quedan,con la costura semi comprimida.
6 son anatómicos .no necesitan de ajustes.
Solo comprar la talla que necesitas y listo.
7 para poder hablar de un 501 debes saber también que en el interior del botón principal deve de decir 0217.
Si lo tienes,cuídalo,es realmente original
Saludos
Unfortunately the real example you use on this video are also fake, no rectangular stitching on the top front button 😅
Could've rapped the video up right after the 1st tip lol
