Fake vs Real Levi's 501 Jeans

How to spot fake Levi's 501 Jeans

Original Levi's 501 jeans cost $110, the price of fake jeans varies between $30 - $50.

The first safety element to identify fake Levi's 501 jeans is the fixed leather label on the back... the original color is brown, compared to the fake one which is yellowish... more carefully inspect the company logo, it must be perfect, without wipes or extra material or paint, everything must be in its place, such a big brand will never make such mistakes...

The original removable black label has the company's logo in the center in bright red, compared to the fake one which is located in the upper right and is of a more faded red color... see the video, like the text 100% cotton / 100% cotton is missing from the fake label.

Carefully inspect the non-removable red label on the back of the jeans, it must show the LEVIS text on both sides, fakes only show it on one side... see in the video.

The original buttons of the jeans must be inscribed with the text levis strauss co cal sf, on fakes we do not find this aspect... see in the video. The fastening system of the buttons is different, the original has two holes compared to the fake one which does not have this aspect... moreover, the original iron buttons are inscribed with vlr1. if this inscription is missing, then you are surely dealing with some fake Levi's jeans.

Another safety element to distinguish original Levi's 501 jeans is the non-removable inner label, on the original we find it with the text quality clothing levis premium san francisco cal, on the fake we do not find this aspect.

The fixed white inner label with the serial number can only be found on the fake, on the original there are 6 non-removable labels, the last one shows the serial number and the batch... attention, the serial number on the inner non-removable label must be identical to the serial number of on the black removable label, if this safety element is not present, then you are surely dealing with a pair of fake Levi's 501 jeans.

Another difference between a pair of fake jeans and an original Levi's is the pockets.... on the original the image with the text is more faded, compared to the fake one which is darker, attention.... carefully inspect the image and the text on pockets, these must be without extra paint (see example for fake ... in the video).

What product ... fake vs real .... do you want to see a next video???

I can remember when original Levis were made "shrink to fit". Meaning you had to buy the pants 4 inches longer and 2 inches wider. Then, wash before wearing. Many just tucked the ends up or cut the 4 inches. Some bought the exact width and cut the length and never washed them. I remember some even shined, maybe even stunk.

Thank You for your support to identify real vs fake jeans, eventhough it was better if the company would place a QR code to verify online in their official page.

Ya no existe el original, desapareció al dejar de hacerlo con la excelente calidad de las fábricas de US

I don't know how to tell a fake pair of Levis. They all appear fake to me, now . I still wear 501s.

Many products are produced in one factory - only one <LOGO> is "real " and other "fake". I saw bread production in London. One bread - only at the end of production line one bread was packed in "supermarket cheap brand", one in branded cover ( 2 times more expensive bread ). Plastic cover also produced by one company. So only price was different.

[BillyJoBuck]

With that price difference I would go toward the fakes. Wrangler are priced well also.

In Turkey you could by fake Levi's of differing quality, but if you bought the top quality ones they were identical to the real one's in every way, Levi's were made there and I think genuine denim and all the parts were "lost" from the factory and were recreated in a different cloning factory.

Дякую за гарний та якісний огляд.
Успіхів Вам у Ваших справах

[denniseudela]

To be 100% sure, u buy at their official Levi's outlet stores... In Person.
Not by mail.

The important thing is the cloth material not the words or the label

[panchoskywalker]

I wouldn't mind using the fake if the cut is the same. In fact I don't understand how nobody created a company that just copy the cut with a different name for half the price. That would sell like hot cakes!!

A young girl at work once appeared wearing Levis with torn knees. I told her jokingly, " I've thrown away Levis better than that." She took me serious and answered, "go to hell, Retro Man. I laughed and I laugh every time I tell this story.

I'm an avid old stocked quality branded Jeans enthusiast for more than 50s yrs and willing to travel out of my country just to bought an original brand mostly US made(old stocked) rather than the obvious mostly hoaxes online promo

[shariqqureshi]

I'm from India from surplus garments trading business. We regularly get levis stock from factory (officially) they have a manufacturing licence in india and bangladesh.

No mostraste la etiqueta roja dentro del bolsillo trasero derecho

[chitowngirl]

that tag is EXACTLY how those tags looked when they first came out! I’ve never paid $100 for levis…and I stunned that their are “fake Levi’s”…I don’t need a video though to spot real vs fake

[ofcourseimfullofit]

The ones you said are fake at the beginning are the same ones sold at JC Penny. I buy them all the time.

[mistersmith]

I own real Levi's and fake ones too. Some of the fake ones feel better and have outlasted some of the original ones.

Greetings from Russia! I checked my Levis which I bought and ordered on eBay in the USA! everything is 100% original!
