So I just got these from Cultizm.com and am deeply in love with them and wanted to share some pictures.
As soon as I heard about the relaunch of Levi's RED for this season, I couldn't wait to get these. The concept for the collection is based on old illustrated advertisements from the Levi's archive. Inspiration was drawn from characters such as the lanky "sidewalker" and bow-legged cowboy.
The denim is an intense green-casted indigo with red selvage, and may have one of the tightest weaves of any jeans I own. The denim is also a cotton/hemp mix. And yes, that's selvage on the waist band, and on either side of the zipper. And yes, the pocket bags are made from denim! Because of the bowed legs, the jeans stack all the way up the sides of the legs. They're kind of hard to get on, though! I'm super skinny and they're a very tight fit. I can't wait to see how these fade with wear!
I also have a feeling there will be plenty of haters, since this is a pretty extreme concept. I can see it being filed under the ugliest jeans thread already.

This is not an advert, only a discussion. I am just an enthusiastic collector. I've been gathering Levi's RED stuff since their first season in 1999, along with a few LVC pieces here and there.
I like these very much and they fir you very well, if these weren΄t that expensive I΄d get me a pair aswell and yes I remember these Levi comic ads from the 1940s where many cowboy wearing dark skinny 501s, always thought that those look cool though....
