Levi's 501 Jeans, how to detect if they are fake

levis 501

In recent years it is increasingly common to see for sale in many different places clothing items that are imitations, in some cases of a high quality, and that sometimes we acquire believing that they are the originals. It is true that in some cases it is difficult to know how to differentiate the copy from the original and in some cases, as in the Levi's 501 jeans it's almost impossible.

However today and through this article we are going to show you in a simple and fast way, how to spot original Levi's 501 jeans from ones that are a knockoff.

Levi's 501, how to detect if they are fake

In the first place and before going into more technical details it is important that we buy, some Levi's and anything else, calmly and without haste. In addition, and as far as possible, we should try to make purchases in authorized or trusted places and not for example in flea markets, where despite the fact that we can buy very cheaply and making sure that everything is original, it is far from being a reality.

If you want some real Levi's 501, here you can buy them at the best price.

Next we are going to show you some of the details that we can take into account to differentiate if some Levi's are original or a simple copy. Although in this article we have focused on the 501 model, we can extend these tips to any model of the popular brand of how many are available on the market today.

You watch the Levis studs

All Levi's brand jeans carry the studs engraved with the name of the brand or with a logo differentiator. Less successful copies do not usually have these recordings so take a good look before buying. Of course, it is important that you bear in mind that some imitations also come with engraved studs and it will be impossible for you to differentiate an original jean from a copy solely for this detail.

The leather patch

El leather patch that all Levi's jeans wear on the back has no misspelling and we can read the message Levi Strauss & CO. In many of the imitations of these jeans we can find spelling mistakes, messages different from what we can see in an original garment and even in some very bad imitations this leather patch is conspicuous by its absence.

The number 501 can be key

In the original Levi's 501 model we can find the number 501 attached to the edge of the right side back pocket design. In most of the copies that are sold in markets and many other places this detail does not exist so it can be the key to knowing how to differentiate original jeans from an imitation.

The quality of the fabric

We know that it is difficult to know if a cowboy is an imitation or a copy, and even more so if you have never touched a Levi's, but original jeans have an unmistakable feel. Currently there are very good and successful imitations but in no case do they reach the level offered by original Levi's. Before buying, touch and feel them to see if we are dealing with original jeans or a poor quality imitation.

Levis 501 from behind

The seams must be yellow

In all Levi's jeans the seams must be yellow and not have imperfections in any case. In imitations, the seams usually have different colors and not in all cases be yellow. In addition, it is usually quite easy to find errors when sewing, which will allow us to quickly know if we are facing an imitation or a copy.

Do not sell Levi's 501 in a color other than black, gray or blue

Despite what they may lead you to believe, the Levi's 501 are only available in 3 colors; black, gray and blue which are also the best sellers in the United States and Europe.

If they want to sell you some Levi's with a very low price and in some strange color, be suspicious quickly because you will not be facing original jeans but rather a crude copy.

Our recommendations

When it comes to buying a Levi's 501 and in general, any Levi's cowboy is wary if the price is tremendously low and take your time to buy them, watching every little detail.

Start by looking at the studs, zippers and all the trouser trims since most of the time there will be the key. And is that these imitations are made in most cases in Asia so the materials used are of low quality so they give a bad general impression.

Of course there are high-quality imitations so if you find one of them and they offer it to you at a good price, keep an eye on all the little details that we have talked about before. In case you have doubts with a Levi's 501 our recommendation is that you do not buy them because it is most likely that you are going to take an imitation, that is very successful.

Where to buy cheap Levis 501

The price of the Levi's 501 varies very little from store to store. They are pants with a

    2.    mario said

      Alejandro, stagnant is written as m, stamped, conosca is written with z, know,
      Now how do we know that you know about original pants? if you still don't know how to write.

      1.    nelson said

        Mario is right: these so-called councils are useless, they are the most obvious and that anyone reviews. But checking and knowing when a Levi {s is original is another matter. starting because for a few years even the serial numbers of the tags and buttons must coincide (for example), these should or should have a characteristic sound when shaking the pants, the depth of the pockets, the weight and thickness of the fabric , the leather label must have the same fading of the pants when it is stonewash, etc, etc etc,.
        In short, they have not told us anything new or strange. let's continue investigating but in another site because in this we lost all the time….

      To start the original LEVIS, the owners or creators of the brand no longer exist.They sold the rights to the CHINESE and they manufacture them in their own way and at the same time they sold the brand to be manufactured in different countries, so the original LEVIS are the ones that remain. The 80s and some of the 90s do not be fooled better support the national industry of the country where you live by buying cheaper and better quality brands

    GREETINGS: I HAVE A LEVIS THAT I BUY IT ON EBAY, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY LEVIS ON THE RED STAMP ON THE RIGHT POCKET THE ONLY THING IT HAS ON THE RED STAMP IS AN R) AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE ORIGINAL AND COME THAT WAY.

    1.    JORGE said

      THEY ARE ORIGINALS THE KIO IS LIKE THAT

  7.   woom said

    Levis with labels where it does not say levis but only the R are false.
    A company like Levi's takes great care of its quality control and does not, under any circumstances, sell pants with a fault, such as not putting levis on the red label.

    On the other hand the Levi's made in Mexico, some are original but even so, for example in the USA they are rejected. A true American lover of levis would never wear made in Mexico, since Mexico has negative connotations and symbolizes something inferior, bad or of low quality for an American. Therefore avoid as much as possible levi's made in mexico pants as they subtract cache

      I just bought some levis 501 made in mexico on ebay, they carry everything that is said to be original, the only thing is that it puts an R red label right pocket, does it mean that now the made in mexico come like this but are they original?

    In the nineties, the pants factory (Levi's jeans) announced the gradual closure of its factories in the United States, 20 years ago, Levi's had 63 factories within the United States, the last plant to close It was the one in San Antonio, California; Likewise, Levi's reported that in the following months it would close the factories in Canada, thus it began to transfer its production to underdeveloped countries, and with cheap labor, in 1998 they closed 4 factories in Europe (1 in Belgium and 3 in France, thus The brand was able to expand in the world, paying much cheaper labor and lowering costs, so as not to pay high interest as in its country of origin, currently there are levi's factories in Latin America, (Costa Rica, Panama, Republica Dominican Republic, Honduras, Colombia among many others, Mexico for its long textile-manufacturing tradition, has one of the best production standards, but it does not stop being a manufactured product (it will never be of origin), likewise there are plants in, China, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, etc., the label with the legend Made in USA, will only remain in the memory, because Levi's is no longer manufactured within the United States, although the Mexican product is already out of the manufactu Ra with price tags in dollars, it is because it is required by US business law. the garments that have the legend MADE IN USA, ARE MADE IN MEXICO, LABELED IN MEXICO AND ALL ITS PROCESSES WERE MADE IN MEXICO. So whoever tells you that Levis Original from the United States sells you is lying to you. look for it on the net: levi's abandons its roots as if someone tells you that it sells you an original American levi's product is selling you a product of dubious origin.

      1.    table said

        Excellent!! You only need to comment that MEXICO PRODUCES THE BEST MIXTURE !! Because it is a cotton producer, it does not cost as much as the USA, which consumes or exports up to 60% of the MEXICAN production, among others such as Colombia, whose pants are also PROUDLY MEXICAN DENIM. Why should they distrust Mexican Brands? the jeans that are watered down are CHINESE, if they are cheap it is because here it is produced, the denim is cheap, the USA only puts you "stamps". MEXICAN CONSUMPTION STOP BUYING GRINGO STAMPS

    I have a jacket bought in the official store with the same maroon label with an R. I just sent an email to Levis, they answered me the following:

    Good afternoon Ana,

    Sorry for the delay in responding to your inquiry.

    Regarding your email, the FO of Campera is a point of sale authorized by Levi's® so all products are authentic.

    Regarding the label, both the label that Levi's says and the one that only puts the R for registered are perfectly valid.

    The use of our Tab without the Levi's® name is part of a global project for the protection of our registered trademarks. Both signs are trademarks of Levi's Strauss & Co. Said products are free from defects and clearly represent the brand image.

    I started buying contraband Levi's in "El Rastro" in Madrid in 1960 and they are the best quality, after trying other brands such as Lee, Wrangler, Lois, etc,
    I've always come back to Levi's. I keep a special souvenir of a pair with a leather tag, and 16-ounce denim, instead of 14, as usual.
    What they do not say to recognize them are some details: The Levi's brand is printed on the waist label, which before also had XXX, inside the left front pocket. a label is printed on the white fabric with black writing, with all the details and on the left outer seam, a smaller one with details of the care and where it is manufactured.
    I keep for my grandchildren a couple of the last ones made in California (now it doesn't fasten my waist, heh, heh)

    Hello I live in Japan and not long ago I bought a Levis jeans in a store, rather in a chain of stores that sell used clothes, I have a 501, I have a question about the label that bears the LEVI STRAUSS brand & CO. You can read MADE IN USA, but on the label that goes inside the pants where it explains the way of washing the garment is in Japanese, what I want to know if it was made in the USA because then it has a label in Japanese? Or is it that there was a batch for export in this case to Japan?

    Hello friends, I live in Chile and a month ago I imported through Ebay a levis sherpa jacket from the eighties with inner fur
    I am struck by the fact that inside it says made in usa on the instructions label and it says made in usa on the label that says LEVI »S San Francisco
    It has all the original characteristics and it is a new product and it cost me very expensive
    is model 591 classic red label denim
    I wish they told me how to know if it is original
    Thank you

    1.    oscar reveal said

      Hi Marcelo, my name is Oscar and I live in New York. I think that for this type of jackets it is difficult to accurately verify their originality since they do not have a specific characteristic that identifies them as such. I have two sherpa, one in jean and one in corduroy and the styles of the labels are different in both, also the buttons of the jean are countermarked on the back but the other one is not and I bought both in an official store here in New York What I can tell you is that the fading of the jean is very even, it tends to fade as in points and not in stripes and in the parts of the seams it looks shrunken which forms darker wrinkles. What I mean is that the fading of a levis is a key piece to identify its originality. I would recommend that next time you buy in official levis online stores since it is a product sent directly by the levis company and also there is a lot of variety to choose from

  19.   oscar reveal said

    Hello friends, I want to tell you that the levis that do not have anything written on the red label are absolutely original, I was checking in an official store in New York and they told me that what happens is that every 300 labels they have to change the white thread because they ends by which the machine only weaves the r to the front and not to one side and gives notice of its shortage. They let them pass since it is an exclusivity and it turned out very well since many good connoisseurs prefer to have these that not many have, I have some with this characteristic and bought in official Levis stores in New York and California

  20.   Joel Garcia Alonso said

    My opinion is that many sellers take advantage of announcing that the product is original without being it to believe or think that they are imported from the USA, they should be clear without deception attempts. I certainly no longer believe that they are at the price of $ 250. On the other hand for lack of Indo. It also makes me doubt the high prices.

    Dear Oscar Revelo, I appreciate your guidance
    Just tape you that I have a Levi's sherpa de cotele from 1987 and I still keep it as a heirloom since in those years I was only 17 years old.
    And now, well, I wanted to have one again, but as I explained before, I do not know how to identify if it is original, although the buttons are marked with the number 527 and coinside with the number of the interior label, now Oscar, could you give me the email or address or contact to try to import one from a Levi's authorized store in New York, I am willing to try
    if you wish you can use my email which is:

  26.   George said

    I have a question: I bought a Levi's 501 two months ago for $ 130.000, a price that seemed very cheap to me. What happens is that I am not sure of the originality, and it is with respect to the color, in a black jean, but a bit shiny, and the lock is made of buttons, but not a zipper, I compared it with a totally original one (a 505 ) that I had bought before, and what changes is the lock, apart from the fact that it is a different color (Light Blue). I would really appreciate if you could help me clarify my doubt, thank you very much.

  27.   Adrian said

    And how do you recognize Levi's Original sneakers / shoes? Since I saw some in a mall store but be wary of the somewhat crooked seam in one of its parts

  28.   Marco said

    For me it is a very important factor and under the knowledge that I carry in this kind of garment to know that the original levis is motoso on point and the copy is smooth and in line

  29.   Kleber Burgos said

    look at the 501 they are my favorites I have been wearing them since I was a child I have never used another brand or another model I have all the colors and in the recommendation it says that only the 3 colors are the original ones, so the rest will be imitations and it distinguished itself when it is not original

  30.   Johnce said

    Good morning, for those who ask if the Levis 501 can come with a zipper instead of buttons, the answer is no, the 501 only come in buttons, there are other Levis models such as the 511 or the 505 that do come with a zipper; that the seams on the originals are necessarily yellow, that is not entirely true; I bought a 501 color in an official Levis store and the seams are dark gray. The 501 and 505 models are very different, as I already said, the 505 has a zipper and the seams on the inside of the leg are double and not simple as in the 501. So that you do not get hit on the head, I recommend you always buy in official stores, unless they know very well the characteristics of the originals.

  34.   ANDRES said

    Hello, as for the color, Black, blue or grils it is not true that they are the only ones that Levis sells, in 501. I have been using Levis for more than forty years. I have bought from official Levis US stores and authorized resellers (like Macys in N York) and they have Levis 501 models in red, yellow, light blue and more. I myself have some red and others petrol blue and others white, which are 501 bought in official stores. As for the seams, they do not come yellow. Leivs has put on sale lately, combination of seams, yellow with orange color, poor example. The rear leather patch case, just has a differentiation from the rest of the LEVIS. it has an extra "flap" as dotted, which may or may not be removed with the W and L talees. There are other cases that sometimes have it, but in 501 it is permanent. The 505 never brings it. One way to recognize the 501 is that it will always, always have buttons, with the LEVIS logo and never have a zip closure.

    Hello everyone from Colombia, well my point of view and opinion is that the quality of today's levis has deteriorated a lot, in 1994 I bought my first dark blue levis, you could see the quality easily it was a little motorcycle that next to Another jean it was seen which was the brand today it is time to review it everywhere before paying and try not to be deceived. Here in Colombia a classic levis buying it in an authorized warehouse is around $ 150000 Colombian pesos and from $ 170000 the last collection. Question for those who know everything about the levis there is a color reference called blue black 501 if it exists as such if it is original thanks and greetings to all

    Hello, good afternoon, I am from Tampico Tamaulipas Mexico, here I will put my personal experiences with the living legend Levis 501. I had already read some comments some time ago when I came across this article and now that I am back with it I see new comments, well, Some comments seem right to me, others not so many, reading data, watching documentaries, investigating (sometimes obsessed hehe), saying that they no longer make levis in the USA is a bit wrong, it seems to me from what investigated they are still manufactured I think there is only one maquiladora For the Vintage line that by the way is somewhat expensive, now in fact the care instructions come in English and also with Japanese letters or something like that, because I don't know, but I think that market is very small for the same reason that it is very expensive example A 501 vintage made in the usa redline that is the red and white line inside the seam on ebay costs $ 2,900 to $ 4,000 Mexican pesos, expensive luxury hehe, now well say that the north Mericans would not wear a levis made in Mexico that I dare to say that all the relocations made by levis neta I am of much better quality than china bangladesh, etc, I do not accept that theory since when levis had his factories in the usa example that of san antonio texas most of the employees were latinos, mexicans and immigrants from central america maybe, so bingo, those levis that for many years were made in usa passed through the hands of mexicans, i don't know if I explain myself, so i'm not saying that there were americans doing levis but the vast "majority" of workers were Latino, said the same thing by levis in a report from January 2004.
    Now to me, like many, maybe first levis and then tommy, guess, abercrombie, wrangler and then went back to levis, he came back because levis is levis the creators of jean par excellence, I remember that I bought with my own money my first Levis501 aya for The year 2000 or 2001 in the coppel stores at that time it cost me I don't remember $ 400 or $ 500 pesos and it was a fortune but I told myself that it was worth it hehee, a long time ago I started to think what I did with them when I was already there worn or old that to say the truth they lasted nnnnn but they really lasted, and so many doubts came to my head I only knew that they were original and that it was the levis 501, but apparently it was the PRESHURNK that were already shrunken or something like that, not today You find here nowhere, and the truth is, the labels were the best, it was the original leather label with the cherry letters and I think if my memory serves me it said made in the usa waooo !!!, I really should have known I would have saved them snif snif , today in di The current label does not finish liking the net, no, they have even taken away the patented in the usa, which is bad for Levis seriously, but going back to the ones I bought it was another texture and because of the care label that comes inside I think it said made in usa, And I even think I have seen the redline in the seams snif snif hehe, it seems to me some time later they already said made in Mexico with imported avios from the usa, even so it was another time another quality, today I do not say that the current 501 do not like me but without to think about it I stay with those of the 90s and early 2000s, maybe there I have a label saved and leave doubts, by the way yesterday I got about 501 of 16 ounces hehe greetings.

  38.   Miguel Herrera said

    And well I see that the comments about the authentication, which is different from the original, is said to be authentic and not original with respect to the jean levis I bought this garment since 1976 and for your information the leather also served as a loop because it did not come fully sewn to the This fabric was made to give a view to the brand because the belt did not cover the brand I was such a fan of the brand that I used a levis brand belt as well as the shirt was long-sleeved, cowboy type ... so I consider myself a connoisseur of the brand

      My friend, those of the 80s and 70s were indestructible, they also had a particularity, they used to wear evenly and took a unique color, there were people who offered to buy them well worn ... Today's are very bad, because I use them for the last, question as usual Greetings from Bogota

  40.   Omar granados said

    The original Levi no longer exist, they will be the ones that survive from the 80s, I use 501 by tradition since I was 13 years old and their quality is not even close to the old ones, I buy them in Levis stores in the Florida malls to us30 leading two onwards, today they are made by Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Colombia, Costa Rica ETC.
    As recommended by someone below buy what from your country support your industry.

    How can I tell if my corduroy jacket is original, it can be original even though it is made in China

  42.   dave said

    For those who know us, I leave this in the first job in Levis Mexico and let me tell you that we send a lot of product made in Mexico to the United States in the second, the red label even if it only brings an R, it is originak, if I do not bring it, it does not mean that it is not An original Levis will always have a code of 9 numbers on the inside label that here we call it care and that matches the one on the outside carton when it is new because that code is the model and the 501 there are several colors not only the ones What they say is the only one that brings buttons instead of closure so if you see a 501 with closure do not buy it and even if it is from other countries such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka, China or others, it is original.

      Dave a query since you work in Levis could help me with the trouser size for my wife she wears 30 x 32 but I see sizes that say 30 (10 us) R or 31 (12us) R which of these two will be able to serve her
      I appreciate your response.

    I have a question I have a Levis that has all those characteristics, it is not 501, it is 511, but the small label that he has in his right pocket behind does not say Levis has an R in a circle, is it original?

    I have a white 501 and it is made in the USA. It is over 30 years old.

    It is a lie that there are only 3 colors. What you should look at is the number engraved on the back of the main button rivet. This number must be the same number on the white label that goes next to the one on the washing instructions and origin. It's kind of a serial number. Counterfeiters don't go out of their way to produce a serial number for their products. It's the only way. because nowadays there are good imitations.

    Good, the Levis Brand is unique and they are manufactured by hands the original 501 are made in the USA the fabric is thick and they are sewn with 3 yellow thick nylon seams for the inside of the pants and they are covered with a fabric plate to reinforce the zipper The closure has Levis engraving on both sides, the buttons have a corrugated cellar similar to coins and the serial code is internally engraved, and on the outside the Levis brand has a characteristic sound when rubbed or turned, the leather label is homogeneous and the letters are engraved not printed

    if some here are right. They are original and not because of the North American maquilas that have closed
    at the rate of expanding and the workforce (Latin by the way). but let's see:
    -the best denim or cotton is or was taken from here, Mexico!
    -The 501 will always have buttons, no closure
    - they are 16 ounces
    -In the finish they look like speckled like ... with fluff or hairs and their weight is obviously very heavy and thick (16 ounces) compared to other brands or jeans
    -yes, before the back label was made of leather and you could put the belt inside, but now it is like "thin corrugated leather"
    -there are several colors
    -the buttons say levi strauss & co sf cal and rivets say ls & co sf and on the reverse of the rivet the s / n
    -inside they must have care and washing labels that match the n / s
    -Inside the left bag it has the stamp of the brand as if it were a banknote, something that also back in the 70s 80s brought it on the outside, on the labels
    -The brand handles full sizes, waist and length, the length is in inches, measuring from the shot down and if it matches you, that is your size
    -And the Levi's brand on the red label should not be missing, plus it is double and can fit a 22 caliber bullet
    -I always put one on the jacket, it looks so cool that even years later someone thought of putting it on furor brand jackets.

    I have been buying Levis for many years in El Paso TX and the only thing I can tell you is that the original Levis when you wash it and when it dries it remains stiff as if it were cardboard, nothing watered down.

    To begin with, that you recommend buying Levi's on Amazon, which is precisely the site that many of us avoid when buying branded clothing due to the huge number of sellers who sneak you fake clothes, it has "fabric", like Levi's. It is true that so that they do not strain you, you have to do what you mention in the article: buy only those sold directly by Amazon. But you forgot to mention that Amazon not only sells clothes Amazon itself, but thousands and thousands of other anonymous sellers, many of them honest to the core, of course, but unfortunately many others are scammers who sell fake clothes as authentic. And please, to the guy you've recommended not to buy Levi's made in Mexico because they would lower your status, or the shit you said, tell you to go "to the beach", you pijo pitiful without self-esteem. I'm not Mexican, I'm European, and I've been wearing Levi's for many years, many of them made in Mexico, and all of them have been of exceptional quality. I'm unnerved by this little rabble who always tries to underestimate others. I would even bet that, even on top of that, you are Mexican. In the end, each country is a reflection of its people, and if instead of being proud of your land and yours, some of you still throw shit at it, then that's how things will go later. Be proud of yourself, damn it! ? ? ?
