506XX (part 2)

506XX (part 2)

quickly

I would like to start the second part of 506XX.

 

The finale of the first part

1927? ? 506XX

From unmarked buttons

Change to buttons with company name…

And from no flap to flap

There have been some changes in the details.

The next model is here...

 

 

1933-35 506XX

1933-35 506XX

 

 

 

 

This one has an NRA tag on the leather patch.

Models that would become the 1933XX from 35 to 506

 

1933-35 506XX

 

 

 

The NRA is a government agency established in the United States in 1933 and was in operation until 35.

The NRA tag was only attached for 3 years.

 

 

At this age, the flaps are no longer round.

This era will also be the last with the small buttons on the front.

 

 

*This is also an additional note.

It was released over a period of eight years, from the 1927 model with the flap to the 8-XNUMX model.

This model with small buttons is rarely seen in stores because there are only a few of them left.

Either they are exchanged between collectors, or collectors sell them as consignment items at auctions or second-hand shops.

This is a jacket with details that often leave you with two choices.

Of course, the current market price is in the hundreds of thousands of yen.

The value of the 37XX before XNUMX that does not have the red tab is

It is still rising as you are reading this BLOG.

This is not an exaggeration...

 

 

And now, this age...

The 407XX, which is also related to the black tag 506EXX, will be available.

 

If you haven't read this blog before getting into this model,

This is something I would definitely recommend you read.

This is related to the following model:

Even if you have read it once, please read it again...

 

 

Now, in 1937, the 506XX appeared.

1937 506XX

 

 

 

As stated in the document, on July 1937, 7

This will be the first time that the jacket will feature a red tab.

*The overalls were given a red tab on September 1936, 9.

If you look at this image using Google Translate's camera input, you can see the content.

 

 

And actually, there are differences in the leather patches as well.

 

 

 

Leather patch comparison

 

The image above is a leather patch from before '37.

The image below shows the leather patch from 37 onwards.

 

 

Next to LOT there was a SIZE written

From this 37 model

On the leather patch on the jeans

It has been said that it has been unified.

 

 

And unlike the '33-'35 models, the front buttons are larger.

There have been some changes to the details here too.

 

Comparison with small buttons

 

 

Small button on top (1933-35)

Below is the front button from 37 onwards

The sizes are completely different...

Color remains, condition is good

If the size is larger

Prices will rise rapidly.

Such items can cost in the hundreds of thousands of yen.

The recent rise in denim prices

I'm sure it will continue!!

 

 

Now, the middle part

Let me introduce the last model.

 

 

It is currently the most expensive and popular Levi's jacket.

Let's move on to the so-called war model...S506XX.

 

 

Even the jeans-loving comedians on Ame Talk!!

Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Okawa from Nibunnogo spoke passionately about the S506XX...

 In the United States, material control was ordered.

The S506XX has significant changes to its details.

 

 

This is for each retailer

This is the document issued by LEVI'S.

As its contents

There must be no more than four buttons on the front.

So while the 506XX had five front buttons, this has been changed to four on the S506XX.

 

 

However, removing the iron laurel buttons and flaps, which are characteristic of the wartime models,

This is not mentioned in the booklet, and Levi's once called the 506XX a denim blouse.

It is said that the pocket flaps required by the WORK SHIRT regulations have been removed in accordance with the deletion regulations.

 

 

However, there are early and late war models.

Some of the S506XXs produced immediately after material control have laurel buttons instead of

There are buttons with company names on them. Since there were no regulations on buttons,

It is believed that the buttons with the company name on them were available for a very short period of time.

 Let me also add here

Owned by Okawa of Nibunnogo

The S506XX split back (also called T-BACK)

The previous valuation price on Nandemo Kanteidan was

A whopping 700 million...

Koji Higashino's YouTube channel

This was also discussed in "Higashino Denim"

After appearing on "Nandemo Kanteidan" I was asked to sell it.

The offer was made and the proposed amount was 1500 million...

 

The production period was short and it has split back specifications...

Furthermore, if the condition is good and it is 1500 million yen,

I think it's a unavoidable price, and the number of balls is small.

I think it's an item that you'll want no matter what price you ask.

If I had the money to spend (laughs)

 

And this is the end of the middle part.

 

The next part will be the last one.
