    Hello guys, recently got that pair and wondering if these are just fake or actual vintage. It is non-selvedge and it looks like buttons were repaired/reattached. Thank you for any kind of help.

    There was a reissue at some point, which I think used the big E, but I don't know much about it.

    Can you post a full shot of the jeans and close ups on the tag, rivets and buttons ?

    Where were they made or fabricated? That can help determine age on the re-issues which I think these are.

    Original Levis had copper rivets and the rivets were stamped L.S. & Co. SF. the leather tag looks a bit off to me but its hard to tell. there should be another silver rivet with a number stamped on it.

    The reg tag levis with the big E were introduced in 1936.
