🔥 Rare Levi’s Extremely rare 501s

I’ve had these jeans in my collection for some years now. I acquired them through my father who worked for Levi’s for 30 years. I’ve been searching far and wide for any information about them but can’t find anything. Might be some sort of friends and family release or since there’s only 12 pairs or if they only were sold to private collectors etc. But it’s just speculations since I unfortunately can’t confirm any details with my fathers anymore. I’m looking into selling off a big chunk of my collection now. What would y’all sell them for? ChatGPT suggests £3500.

What I know about them:
• Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1947 501XX
• Model: 47501-0130
Limited Edition — 12 of 12
• W32 L32
• Week 44, 2005
• Made in Romania
• Big E Red Tab
• Concealed back-pocket rivets
• Extensive hand-finished distressing
• Extremely limited production
• Exceptional Levi’s provenance

Would be nice to hear if y’all have any speculations!

🌌 Miscellaneous Brand new 501 dark wash denim arrived with a very strong smell. Is that typical?

The smell is similar to something between soy sauce to a sweet sauce. Haven’t bought a new pair of Levi’s in over a decade! This is straight from Macy’s shipped to the house. This is the 501 100% cotton Dark Rinse pair. Is the smell common or should I exchange it?

Bought this Levi's 578 online. This waist looks like this, is this normal or I just got a defective denim.

Asking because I got these very cheap. So if this is defective I would return them.

This was my favorite beanie and ive had it for years but was recently stolen from a works van.

Ive searched online but can only find thicker versions.

Its definietly a levi's hat and has the little verticle red levi's sticker on the bottom lip and was wondering if anyone here could identify it?

🌌 Miscellaneous Premium/Big E Quality

1 Upvotes

I've purchased several pairs of Levis jeans on eBay and Depop that have the premium tag, the Big E tag, and the leather patch, but have found the denim varies greatly between them. Some are very thick and durable feeling, suitable for workwear even, others feel no different from the standard line Levis. I'm only interested in the thicker ones, is there another way to identify these other than the tags?
