I met an old hippie dude a few months back who told me “I have a barn full of Levi’s”
Met up with him and sure enough he had about 20 garbage bags full of vintage usa Levi’s and other denim in his barn. Deadstock, distressed; 70s, 80s and 90s, shorts, jackets, overalls. Biggest find of my life. He used to drive around the county buying up all the Levi’s they could find at thrift stores.
Bought up everything he had. Approximately 200 pair.
Oh. My. God. Broooo. What a story.
Thanks for your content bro! I watch all your uploads, your channel is rad! Thank you for all the information you put out there!!! 🙂🙌✨
SHEEEEESH, a grail right there
@@chriskellypoi any size 38-40?
Hopefully someday I'll be blessed enough to be able to score some awesome old Levi's stuff...🤘🏼💯✔
So glad we found you! My husband and I won some Levi’s on auction and I think they are 1970’s! He is going to email you!
Another great video - thanks for your help 👍
Love the new set up man!
Thanks!!
First time seeing your video. I have a pair of male Levi big....E that I was pressured into buying by my roommates while in college in 1969 but, I can never bring myself to wear them so I boxed them up and have had them ever since. I always like to look dressy when I went to class. I thought about giving them to my grandson when he get old enough and big enough to wear them ... He's only 12. After reading different articles I found out that they may be worth quite a bit of money that I can add to my retirement 😎 they're indigo blue, leather tag with two horses, big E red tag and the threading is yellow and orange or rust color my eyes aren't the best anymore 🤣 on the pocket there's a stitching that's very small that looks like a diamond in the point v tip, there's five pockets but one of the pockets are very small I guess it could be for a watch, there's two rivers on the left side pocket, two rivers on the right pocket and two rivers on the little watch pocket, the waist is 32 in and length is 34.
wow, I'm impressed how knowledgable you are...I subscribed!
Thanks for watching!
I had levis vintage pair of jeans that my grandfather use to wear back in his days
And it's 505
Great video, definitely going to email you. Snagged a pair of Levis yesterday for $7 at a thrift store…..they’re in like NEW condition, 511-black leather tag, no care tag, Big E, single stitch inseam exterior and kinda the selvedge look on the inside I think…..maybe I outta email you
Hi LootFam - really enjoy your videos and have learned so much about Levis from you. Would you have any information on Levis Denim long sleeve shirts, red tab, with the metal buttons? Do you know when they were stopped and in what colors they were made? Thanks so much.
Great vlog
Thanks for the info man, I’m currently doing research on used apparel and what gives it it’s worth so I can apply it to my eBay store! So thank you man you helped my business a lot.
Will you or do you have a video on special/limited release Levi's? I have a pair of a Andy Warhol series that are pretty interesting but I come across other interesting Levi's that I have never seen before but I never know if they are legit. I came across a pair the other day that were called Levi's Worker Blue Toms Jeans with what looked like a metal badge where the regular patch would be, but I wasn't sure if they were fakes or not. Anyhow, your channel is awesome! My niche has always been selling cowboy boots and higher end footwear but your channel has gotten me into denim!
Awesome! I don’t have one currently but that is a great idea! Thanks for watching!
Good video 👍 , but does anyone know if a 33 leg on a pair of 501 new ones are a collector item as it's a miss cut because they should be 32W32L
I found a pair of silver tabs: but: I don't know how to date these
They have the long cargo type pocket. Any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and making these videos! I’ve been a big fan of thrifting since I was a teen but recently have become more interested in the actual history of the clothing and your videos have been super helpful in learning about vintage clothing and what makes things special and or valuable! I live in Canada so most of the vintage Levi’s I’ve found at the thrift store are made here and I was curious if you have any thoughts or insight on Levi’s made in Canada? I’ve found some pairs that are really cool to ME but I’ve been wondering if they’re considered any less or more special/interesting/valuable to a Levi’s fan because they were produced in Canada. The care tags also seem to read a bit different from Levi’s produced elsewhere from what I can tell and which makes them tricky to date. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks again for the videos!
Hey Marvin! You're are totally right about Canadian made Levi's. There are some interesting 70s Canadian made Levi's, particularly with the Fresh Produce line that was popular.
The care tags between USA-made and Canadian-made are different. Unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to put together a consistent rubric to read the tags like we do with USA made. I'm definitely working on it. If you ever have a pair you have questions about email me some photos at lootfam1@gmail.com. I'd love to see as many as I can.
Thanks for watching!
@@LootFam thanks for the reply! I think most of the pairs I’ve picked up have been from the late 90s as far as I can tell so they probably aren’t anything too rare or interesting but I’d love to email you some photos just to get your take!
@@LootFam thoroughly enjoy your levi's guide and other tags identification vids! thx for mentioning the fresh produce line, went to check it out and some cool stuff there! keep it up :))
Thank goodness I found you! I have two pairs of Levi's both with the large LEVI'S red tag and the inner has the Selvage. I'm lost at what year they are particularly from. They don't have the hidden rivets, or the outer leather/paper levi patch, also dosent have the size/care tags. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sure! Email me some photos to lootfam1@gmail.com. Would love to help!
Just got some nicely worn 1947, LVC 501’s for $7.00 at my local VV, date is Sept 1990. Whaddya think ?
I found a pair of Made in USA Guess Jean army green coveralls recently, size XL in amazing condition. I can’t find any comps at all, any idea on value for something like that?
I have seen Vtg Guess military stuff go for 75-150 dollar range. Could you send me some pictures of the garment either on insta or my email: Lootfam1@gmail.com? Would love to take a look.
My man I may need your advice yet again. I sourced a pair of black Levis 501xx today with a big E on the tab, but my instincts tell me these jeans should not have care tags, yet they do (which are also in at least English and Chinese). They really don’t seem like fakes, I can usually tell those just by feel, but at the same time I feel like something doesn’t add up. Has Levi’s reproduced “Big E” jeans at some point? I know vintage 501xx’s have, but I had assumed they would have little e’s on the tab. Love the vids
Yeah, send me some photos. I think your instinct are right, but let's take a look. Lootfam1@gmail.com
I just found your videos and they’re awesome. I was just wondering if I ever do run into an old pair of Levi ww2 or older, how do I sell them? Is that something you put on eBay or do you go with a auction house? I’ve never ran into anything that valuable but I do run into some pretty good clothes at local auctions, cheap, so never say never.
Ebay is a good one, probably the best unless you can get your item to Japan or somewhere with very high demand. If you ever found jeans of those quality then I'd find someone to assess them, if they are particular excellent examples then you may consider an auction house, but ebay will likely suffice in most cases.
Thanks for watching!
Hey man, just wondering something. How reliable is ebay with so-called "vintage" denim? From my understanding, if it's big "E", then there shouldn't be a care tag. Is this correct, because of the time period? Also I've seen trucker jackets saying vintage from the 70's with handwarmer pockets. Does this make sense to you?
ebay can be wild with misinformation. I've found Big E's as late as 1980. So you just have to be careful.
I got 501 lady slim jeans but I got 13 different pair I need help on how to sell them in good condition and what years they are thanks
Lootfam1@gmail.com email some photos and i can help out.
I’ve been watching some of your videos on Levi’s and have some questions if you don’t mind. Thanks for these videos btw!!
1. You mentioned rare big sizes being worth more- can you elaborate a little. I live in KY and I’m wondering if I’ve been blessed or cursed with all these big size Levi’s. I see loads of 34-38 waists but I am also often finding 42-48 waists. Are these big enough to be worthwhile and are there certain big styles that resell better than others?
2. My new found Levi’s 505 orange tabs don’t have a care tag or any other tag in the inside of the pant. There’s no indication tags have been cut out. Have you found any other info in regards to dating them? Mine do not say Made in USA on the leather tag.
Hey! The larger sizes that tend to have increased value are 60 and over. Unfortunately, below that are hit or miss.
If you wanna send me some photos to lootfam1@gmail.com i can walk you through some of the methods over email. Thanks for watching!
@@LootFam thanks. I’ll send some photos.
I have a new unworn white pair of 501with tags preshrunk,a little dirty from Storage. 32 34. They must be 30 or so years old. Any value?
Probably 50-75. Sweet!
I own a vintage levis san francisco sriped button up shirt that has a blue big E tag but i have not been able to determine the age of it or find any info on the line.
Could you email me some pictures of it to lootfam1@gmail.com?
Hi lootfam, I have a couple pairs of Levi's that I am having trouble dating. one pair has a black tab and the other a white tab with a white patch on the back pocket. they both have red batwing care tags and double digit codes on the buttons, but I am still not sure on the date
Could you send me some photos? Lootfam1@gmail.com Thanks!
@@LootFam yes. thank you
I have a pair of made in turkey redlines with a red tab no lettering just the R, what year do you think they are from?
If they are made in Turkey they are likely LVC reproductions. Still cool!
I have womans pair of Ribcage straight, They say Levi's premium and on the red tab on the back it has a large E. Are they worth anything?
Unfortunately, those are a modern pair. Levi's has begun to reuse the Big E for their "Premium" line of jeans. They are higher quality and the ribcage straight is a popular style so they are probably 30-40 but they are unfortunately not vintage. Still cool!
Hey do you know anything about the Levis distressed jeans with smudged leather back patch, so called the red collection?
I don't know much but it was a Y2K era line and it seems like was more popular internationally. They were sort of a response to true religion if I understand correctly.
@@LootFam Thank you for the response
This is really interesting. I know a bit about dating and origins of military surplus, especially woolen (serge) clothing. Jeans and work trousers are a new field for me, and as quality has fallen I'm interested in finding old, tough pairs.
Oh man, you have any videos on dating military? I’m trying to learn more. Haha.
Hey Josh! I have a levis denim sample safari jacket. Red Tab supposedly from the 70s size 1x. Can I send you some pics to help determine a price? Thanks!
Sure! Lootfam1@gmail.com
@@LootFam Thanks! Found it lower on your comments section last night lmao. Thanks!
Hi Loot Fam!! I love your videos!! I have a pair of Levi's 90's 550 Women's "Mom" jeans that are from 1993 brand new with the tags and there is this label/ticket that's on it. When I look up comps on Ebay etc..I can't find any with this label. I don't want to undersell them. Do you have any idea what i'm talking about lol. Also They say Jr. which I believe to be juniors, which I'm confused cause arent these supposed to be mom jeans haha. I really hope you see this comment and can help :) Regardless thank you so much for your videos!!! :)
Hey Alexis! If you want you can send some photos to lootfam1@gmail.com.
The whole "Juniors" thing on 90s levi's was kind of a misnomer imo. Most of the time the Junior sizes fit adults just fine. In fact, it's the smaller sizes that sell the best. If your pair is between 24-29 waist, I'd expect $60-100. Larger than that would be more like 30-60.
@@LootFam Omg thank you so much!! I will be emailing you shortly :)
Bought some 726 shorts from a vintage shop last week. Can't decipher the label AT ALL! The button stamp is also in a triangle. They are real though but made in Belgium. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I think they're 90s and are as good as new!
They also have a label that says inside on the left hand side that says - 726 'This belongs to .........
You chose the best
ENJOY..!!' And then the Levi's logo
I'm confused 😆
Hey! If you can send me a few photos to lootfam1@gmail.com and I can take a look. Thanks!
I did send an email, hope that's OK! 😬
Thanks for getting back to me 😊 Very happy with my find!
Need help with I.d.ing mine
Feel free to email me some photos to lootfam1@gmail.com. Thanks!
I have seven pairs of Levis I'm selling. Mostly from the 80's, 631 in size 30, 505 in size 12 m, 631 is 31w, 538 in size 28. 550 in size 6m and 512 is also in size 6. Some are close to new, the 538 has a ripped knee. I also have 3 other pairs not Levis of jeans, one has a couple bow ties behind the ankle, Pelican Cove size 34. with heels very sexy, and a pair with lace and velvet flowered pattern. Been holding on to them for the past 30 years time to let them go. I'll post the pictures of them on my twitter and youtube channel If you could help me to sell them I would appreciate that very much. Thank you.
Cool! You can email me at lootfam1@gmail.com if you want to share more details!
I don't even know if I have men's or women's jeans let alone able to identify their year! :(
