  When I moved to San Francisco in 1985, they still were making 501s at an old building on Valencia Street. When Levis moved their manufacturing to Mexico, that old building was sold and the looms that made those classic 501s were sold to some Japanese, who went on to create Sugar Cane Jeans.

  very informative video. and yes, it is borderline pretentious how levi's has basically zero info on their website. don't they realize we like to know about what we're buying?  as a denim head of almost 15 years, i have nothing against levi's, but at this point i'd rather give my money to the "mom and pop" jean brands. my top 3 favorite fits are rgt stantons, railcar spikes, and tellason sheffield.

  Uniqlo also uses Kahara Mills for their raw jeans and sells the jeans at roughly 40 USD.

  I'm learning a lot about clothing from you. My main language is Spanish so I don't understand everything you say, but I enjoy watching your videos! Saludos desde Perú!

  Bought my first LVC pairs few days ago. 66’ 501 Rigid. Cone Mills. Bartack. Big E. A bit tapered. Since I don’t own a tub, I soak it with cold water for 25-30 mins. Shrinking a bit, but fit good on me. Truly a legendary pair from legendary brand.

  This channel is such a cool resource. I buy the same old Levi's Premium 511/512 but still love learning. You did convince me to change tee shirts though which I never thought would happen. You are a talented guy, I see why companies hire you for help.

  They look great on you. &nbsp;Nice fit. &nbsp;Unless they’re uncofortrable, I wouldn’t sweat it. &nbsp;Now, you may have wanted longer legs to roll the jeans up, but you can still pull it off with this length. &nbsp;Me personally, I do not roll my cuffs, unless the jeans are too long.<br>At least you have an excuse to buy another pair!

  I love the companies that are doing their best to reproduce products from decades ago. LL Bean is doing the same thing with their flannels; I picked up a flannel last year from them and it has a tag on the inside that says it&apos;s the design from the 1940s iirc.

  What is sad is that these are not actually the most accurate reproduction of a Levi&apos;s 1947 501. Unfortunately for Levi&apos;s, there are Japanese brands that do actually make more accurate reproductions of older Levis with Conners Sewing Factory being the first that comes to mind.
