Levi's, commonly known as ``66,'' have become extremely expensive these days.
Items that vintage denim beginners should buy first:
This is not the case in today's market.
There are times when dead stock can fetch hundreds of thousands of yen.
The origin of 66 is not because it was made in 1966, but because it was written on a flasher (paper tag).
Levi's, where terms such as Big E and Double X are thrown around, has a lot of complicated knowledge.
For the time being, it was positioned as a "buy it"66.
When I was a junior high school student, I worked hard to save up money and buy a slightly worn-out early 66 model.
But even though the prices have gone up, the value of vintage is not just the price.
The atmosphere and colors are also attractive, so
If you think it's good, you have no choice but to buy it.
So, I bought these two
The one on the right is the earliest late 501, and the one on the left is the first half of 517.

Late 1966 colors do not fade well when they are from later years, so
If you're going to buy it, limit it to the first half, even if it's the second half.
The reason why I choose to buy denim from this area is not only because it looks good, but also because I want to use it for practical purposes.
Vintage Levi's, many of which have premiums,
It was originally work clothes for workers, so I guess it's a good idea to wear it so stiffly.
There is no point in wearing work clothes if you can't wear them because it's a waste.
However, since it's an old style of clothing, it looks unfashionable compared to today's clothes.
It can't be called modern.
So when wearing vintage clothing, try not to look like an "old-timer."
