1960s Levi’s 502 ‘Big E’ Talon Zipper

Hello again! lets get this old ball rolling again with an interesting pair of 502’s picked up over the summer! (yep, the classic 501 but with a zipper) Not to mention a few other strange details. Check out the weird lemon pocket bartacking for a start.

502 = silver top button 505= copper top button

V-stitch (pre 1969) and what to appears to be a ‘9’ Stamp

Talon 42

Ultra small back pockets!

Another thing you wanna be looking out for on all old levis is that bottom chain stitching on the waist band.

whats left of the patch, check out how the needle of the sewing machine never left the waist band in a continuous circle when the patch was sewn on! 

Selvage with nice lemon chain stitched hems
